Porsche Design's new laptop is thin, light, and expensive

Love Porsches but can't afford them? Check out the Porsche Design Ultra One i5, a laptop that, at $1350, is a lot more affordable than the famous German cars. It has a 15.6 inch, 1080p touchscreen display, a fingerprint sensor, a magnesium case, and speakers co-designed with Harman/Kardon. The notebook features a special hinge block that puts practically all ports of the device at the back in order to hide cables when they are in use.

The Ultra One definitely wants to stand out. But will it speed past the race to the checkered flag or end up in a devastating crash?


I love the minimalist design. It's thin, lightweight and stylish. Unfortunately, the laptop is powered by an Intel Core i5 8200Y processor, which is designed for low-power computers where energy efficiency is more important than speed. For general purpose computing, the Ultra One is okay. But $1350 is a lot to spend on a notebook with performance that's just 'okay.' With that price I could buy an actual used car.

Hand-Painted Bags That Tell Your Story

  Most bags today look like they were produced by bored machines in a dimly lit factory. You can walk into any mall and find rows of identical leather (or “leather-like”) things, all claiming to express individuality. Ironically, though, they all look exactly the same. Then there’s Abby Verano . Her bags are not mere accessories; they’re declarations. Each one is hand-painted, touched by an actual human being with an imagination. Abby doesn’t just sell you something to put your wallet and smartphone in; she sells you a story, a vision, a little revolt against the tyranny of sameness.  Her tools are simple — brushes, acrylic paint, bags made from pandan leaves, and creativity. No duplicates. No clones. Just one-of-a-kind art pieces you can carry.

'The Immigrant' by Michael Murphy

Michael Murphy is a master when it comes to optical illusion. His most recent work, The Immigrant , is a three-dimensional composition made of 2,300 black wooden spheres suspended with translucent fibers. When you view the sculpture from the right angle, the seemingly chaotic array of objects suddenly aligns to form an image of Michael's partner Natasha Vladimirova. The imagery was inspired by the contributions immigrants make in enriching the society and economy. Natasha is an immigrant and it is with her help that the artwork was made possible. Michael studied sculpture at Kent State University and received his masters degree from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. The Brooklyn-based artist became famous when he created the first fine art portraits of Barack Obama during his 2007 presidential campaign. His work has been featured in various publications and websites and can be seen in numerous permanent installations around the globe.
