When you consider the term ‘the worlds most dangerous laptop‘, what images come to mind? Perhaps one that contains keys to launch nuclear missiles? Maybe one that is powered by uranium? Nope, keep guessing.
Do you give up? Well, currently available for purchase, the laptop in question (which is incidentally a Samsung netbook) portends to be the most dangerous laptop in the world. Not because of what it can do, but because of what it has. Namely, the 6 most financially damaging virus‘ and malware ever created.
As per the official website for the sale, the laptop (called the ‘Persistence of Chaos’) contains viruses and malware reported to have cost various industries and individuals a total of $95bn. So what’s on it? Well, the description reads;
With a current auction price of over $615,000 (a price which seemingly has a confirmed bidder), the laptop is more being sold primarily as an ‘artistic’ piece. It comes reportedly sealed in a case to ensure that you can’t spread these around the internet. Again, more of a marketing tool than a realistic proposition. Although I do like the concept of it being some kind of ‘doomsday machine’.
So, presuming you have around $620,000 to spare, why not add this to your own PC collection? – Alternatively, you can just pick up a cheap 2nd-hand laptop and pretty much get the same results at home. All you need to do is start looking to download more ram and signing up for ‘official Microsoft warranty extensions’. You will get there sooner or later.
