There's something when it comes to luxury: It's not about the function, nor is it about practicality. It's about the excess and sheer form; the beauty in itself when it comes to the object's existence. It's about the image, and the fact that, while you could have better spent your money elsewhere, you didn't. Because despite the vanity of the object, it's so necessary, yet completely unnecessary, all at the same time. The fact that, if function was even remotely a concern, you could have saved a wad of cash by purchasing something that comes in less form and does the same thing. But you didn't. Because it's about luxury. To get a hold of what it's like to own something that addresses such an interesting market segment, what we have here at APH Networks today is one of the latest creations from LUXA2 -- a brand created by Thermaltake that focuses on luxury lifestyle products. The company's H1-Touch is all about coming down to its aesthetic value. Economic value? What is that, anyway? An iPhone/iPod (Or pretty much any mobile electronics device, to be honest) stand that "holds nothing but your mobile device" and costs approximately $50 retail at press time, the LUXA2 H1-Touch certainly isn't the Swiss army knife of mobile device stands! But for what it's worth, the LUXA2 stand is constructed of a beautiful, clean aluminum design; and even a couple Swarovski crystals to give the visual appeal a little boost. Just for sitting on your desk all day, and that's it. Good stuff. So we'll show off our little bit of excessive pride today, woooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! View: LUXA2 H1-Touch review |
