Toshiba Selling One-Off Celebrity-Branded Laptops [Toshiba, GQ Magazine and Celebrities Team Up To Create Laptops, Benefit Charity]

Have you ever wanted an one-off laptop that was ‘insipred’ by Aerosmith Guitarist Joe Perry? Well, now Toshiba is giving you the chance. This holiday season, Toshiba is auctioning off four laptops that were inspiried and approved by four celebrities from different fields. The laptops all feature custom paint jobs that were approved by the celebrities themselves.

The Toshiba Nautral Selection laptops were inspired and approved by four different celebrities, American football player Hines Ward (from the Pittsburgh Steelers), actor Rainn Wilson (from the US version of The Office), actor Omar Epps (from House) and musician Joe Perry (from The Joe Perry Project, he might of been in a little band before that called Aerosmith).

The internal specs of these limited laptops are generally off-the-shelf Toshiba laptops, which each catered to the celebrities individual lifestyle. For example, Hines Ward is “an avid game film watcher so we knew his laptop should have a big, crisp viewing area,” Toshiba says, and Rainn Wilson is “a man on the go. Constantly blogging, tweeting and sharing his thoughts, Rainn requires power and portability”.

Only one of these custom laptops are being built and auctioned off on eBay, with the proceeds going to a charity of the celebrities choice. Some of the custom paintjobs are undeinably cool, but I can’t imagine using such a flashy thing everyday.

These things will likely go for top dollar, but if you want to get a bid in for the one-off Joe Perry-approved Toshiba Qosmio X505 or any of the celebrity laptops, keep an eye on Toshiba’s Natural Selection page so you can catch the eBay link when the auctions go up on November 27th.
