Zen-painted Aspire One wants you to handle it with utmost care
Naveen | Apr 27 2009


An Acer Aspire One netbook has reached eBay and the starting bid sits at a cool $3,000. If you think that’s a heck of a price tag for an Aspire One, note that the sleek netbook has been painted by the celebrated Japanese gadget artist UFO-Hayashi. The upshot is truly a work of art, which every art lover and design-conscious fellow will appreciate. He has painted the netbook by using traditional Japanese Zen painting called kyo-yu-zen, which was introduced to Japan from the continent in the 8th century. This painting describes the spring of the life. It means that the spring must come after the long winter in your life. Since the artwork takes a long time to complete, Hayashi creates limited pieces. One look at the video after the jump, and you can see the eye-catching, detailed artwork on the netbook. It looks so delicate that you will think twice before carrying it along on the move. If you can think you can really handle the slick thing, the bidding for this ultraportable but expensive Aspire One will end on May 1.
