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.

The Adorable Sculptures of Yen Yen Lo

These images are from a series of wall sculptures created by Yen Yen Lo . Here you can see her intricately textured ceramic pieces, looking downright adorable. Yen Yen Lo's eye for the unique and whimsical is delightful. Apparently they are not intended for kids under 16. Fifteen-year-olds cannot be trusted with fragile stuff. Get them a Funko Pop instead.

What if directors actually looked like the characters in their films?

One of the things I like about the internet is the fact that it provides an endless showcase for the most incredible corners of human creativity. Like, for example, these quirky wooden sculptures by Seattle-based artist Mike Leavitt . For his latest series, King Cuts , Mike transforms some of the most renowned filmmakers into satirical sculptures. They're on view at the Jonathan Levine Gallery in New York until June 11, consists of 16 new hand-carved sculptures of directors like Tim Burton, Alfred Hitchcock, Steven Spielberg and Quentin Tarantino. The artist fused Burton with three of the filmmaker's works;  Batman , Beetlejuice and Edward Scissorhands , while Hitchcock is transformed into one of his own attacking birds. Watch the making of the Tarantino sculpture below. You can also follow Mike on  Instagram to see his work in progress.
