There was a time owning a piece of steampunk goodness meant that your or your friends had to have talent and tools at hand. Now thanks to Richard Nagy, the Datamancer if you have Money instead that will work just fine too. The Datamancer is selling custom steampunk machines for $5,500 dollars a clip, which is a discount on the price of future runs of the product. Nagy expects the price to end up being around $7,500. Which while it is a lot of money for a latop, considering the skill craftsmanship and time it takes to get a dell to be a delight it isn’t hard to imagine the labour being on the pricey side.

If i had disposable money these would definitely tempt me. Especially considering each model comes with a Key Shaped Steampunk USB drive, it would be like your very own steampunk Voltron! If this is your thing be sure to check out the Laptop Preorder section of Nagy’s Site!

There are a great many obstacles in my way when it comes to net books. One being the system specs are a little low for something I would use. Because i tend to run a ton of different applications all at once, it comes with the scatterbrained territory, deal with it. And the other being the size of many hands and fingers. Small little keyboards, no matter how well designed just don’t work with my hands. I feel a bit like Alice in Wonderland at the wrong Tea party.

So the system specs aside, I can always try to work at either a slower pace or just doodle on the side while the computer catches up wouldn’t be the first time that happened. But the keys are addressed in this spiffy concept design from Yanko. The iWeb has a fold-able keyboard and so many other features, if they got rid of the nubbin mouse and had a trackpad I’d be all set! Make sure to check out the full specs at Yanko
