HP is targeting the geeks and pop culture fanatics alike with its new Star Wars edition laptop, priced at Rs 73,000.
Loaded with Star Wars content, the laptop is sure to get fans excited. The laptop boasts a Galactic Empire-inspired design and a keyboard inscribed with Aurebesh letters instead of English.
HP has also put Darth Vader on the packaging, keeping the Star Wars inspiration going. What’s better than Darth Vader? Darth Vader with his lightsaber, of course.
But despite it’s coolness, it is a laptop so we do have to talk about its features.

Underneath its geek-chic appeal, the laptop is merely fit to be branched in the mid-range category.

Ideally, you can get a notebook with the same hardware build and features for a much lower price than the Star Wars edition. Knowing this, HP has dished out slew of Star Wars content to sweeten the deal in the form of an e-book for those who’re really into the adventure.
As for the graphics, you can find similar stuff anywhere on the internet that can be put onto standard laptops. Overall, our bets are heavily staked against this one, so it’s up to you whether to want to give in to your fanboy/girl needs and go for a full-fledged Star Wars fashioned laptop, for a much higher cost.
