In Pictures: The World's Most Extravagant Technology Products
Many technology buying decisions come down to dollars. But what if price weren't a factor? Some of these 16 absurdly expensive products are practical, some are pretentious, and some are preposterous. They're all out of our price range--but hey, window shopping is free, right?
Projecting Power
Let's just make this clear: The last thing you use this projector for is a PowerPoint presentation, unless you have some really big pie charts. That's because the Sony SRXS110 has a display resolution of 4096 by 2160 pixels (otherwise known as 4K resolution). You can display four high-definition images together and still have a few hundred thousand pixels left over. The SRXS110 is designed for digital cinema projection, but it's actually a bit overqualified. Its top projection rate is 60 frames per second (compared with film's 24 fps), and few films are actually shot and distributed in 4K. It handily "up-rezzes" lower-quality images, though, so even your DVD collection will look pretty hot. The cost? Between $70,000 and $100,000--steep, but the expensive model also automatically pops popcorn.Solve Tech Issues Fast
