When I opened the packaging I was rather surprised that the beautiful leather bound case was shipped in such a poor plastic pouch. To be fair it is not a massive issue and probably ideal for a store, but they could do so much better to help enhance the appearance.
Urbano say “Each product is put into clear zip film pouch for retail packaging. The packaging provides excellent product visibility and at the same time protects the leather case inside, to deliver the product totally fresh.Also, if a customer likes to examine the product before deciding to purchase, the zip bag just needs to be unzipped and the product can be examined and put back and just zipped again.”
We say it is worth bearing in mind that this specialised sleeve costs around £125 inc vat so we feel an attractive cardboard box would be a good way to ship these from the factory. It wouldn't add much to the cost, but it would certainly add to the feeling that you are buying one of the most luxurious protective cases available on the market. After all they could have one of each model on open display in the retail store for ‘hands on' customer approval – I certainly don't want to think that many sets of grubby hands have already been mauling the case I might end up buying.
Brilliant review Zardon – I always wanted a macintosh. probably a 15 inch model. 17 inch is way too much cash.
That is a hell of a piece of leather design. Its HUGEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeee money, but good leather aint cheap. so justified. Anyway as you say, who the hell spends over 2 grand on a laptop and then 10 quid on a protective sleeve? if they do, they need shot.
Very sexy, I like the windowed plastic idea
Id love that laptop so much. im envious 🙁
125 quid, christ almighty. thats a new processor for me !
well those machines retail for easy 2,500 if you spec them out right. 125 quid seems wise if you use it on the move, at all. id certainly budget that in if I had one.
Well, im shocked. I never knew zardon had a macintosh. Thought it would be a high end alienware or something.
Very nice indeed. and killer product, easy 8-9/10 even at the price. no corner has been cut.
what an excellent series of pictures there, very good quality on that leather. looks quite stunning. the only issue is getting the machine to put in it :p
Zardon get a hold of the new core i5 macbook and review it please. 15 inch would be perfect 🙂
Why did my post vanish? ah well ill try again.
Good review, and the review pictures certainly seem to show all the strengths of the stitching and workmanship. They may be made in india, but man thats as good as italian design.
Hello, I found this site from google this morning and it is great to see a PC based reviewer able to think outside the usual confines of reviewing PC equipment and clearly with a broader grasp of the overall picture. Great review and I just ordered one for my new machine. looks beautiful.
