Rock Xtreme
Dad generously bought me a laptop which is super cool, super useful for my imminent final year, and also will be the beast that I will use to write a new and ambitious website, more of that after graduating.
The Brompton made me realise just how much stuff I buy is orange and it is purely coincidental that my laptop, a Rock Xtreme, has orange trim (the website shows the silver trim but they don’t currently have the stock).

I love the colour orange but as a little splash, just to complete the look. Or something. Guess I have too much splash as the montage of some my possessions show:


Orange is the colour of creativity, so it does not surprise me that you have an affinity with this colour!
You already know my feelings about the colour orange! I agree with Colette, it comes as no surprise and in response to “The Brompton made me realise just how much stuff I buy is orange” I could have told you that!
The laptop does look quite nice though, I imagine it will come in dead useful for both Basil Spence and your Dissertation.
sob! sob! Orange is my least favourite colour and I thought I was meant to be creative! I like the funny knobbly thing in the middle of the montage though.
What an enormous machine: does it weight any less than the Brompton?
Glad orange is the colour of creativity!
The Brompton weighs about 12kg while the laptop is about 3.8kg. And to think that I intend to take both out at times…!
Even your phone is on Orange…!
