one of the most expensive house

I was curious to find out what is currently the most expensive house in the world. Turns out, you would only need to buy a house for more than 70million pounds to be the owner of the most expensive house in the world. That’s not too bad, aye? Pocket change as far as I’m concerned. However, i’ve checked through various sources and apparently 2 houses in the UK sold for a rumoured 70million pounds, so I guess there are 2 houses that can be considered the most expensive house in the world.

PROPERTY 1

Here’s the first one, Updown Court. You’ll need a spare 1million pounds a year just to run this damn thing.

It’s located 25 miles outside of London. Among the estate’s neighbours are the Duchess of York, Elton John, and, at nearby Windsor Castle, the Queen. So, what exactly would you get for your money? Well, you know, just the basic:

• 103 rooms
• five swimming pools
• 50-seat screening room
• 24-carat-gold leafing flooring
• squash court
• bowling alley
• all-weather, floodlit tennis courts
• 58-acre estate
• 22 bedroom and bathroom suites
• Gate lodge
• estate manager’s office
• Private cinema
• Stables
• Heated marble driveway
• Underground garaging for eight limousines
• a shooting gallery
• 30 self-contained luxury apartments

IS THAT ALL?
Don’t be silly. The master bedroom has its own swimming pool accessed by a private glass lift. The roof has an infinity pool and hot tub encased by a glass barrier that allowed sky and water to meet. The reception hall occupies a footprint larger than most five-bedroom houses. It is dominated by marble columns and a sweeping double staircase modelled on one owned by fashion designer Versace.

So, who owns this little shack?
Apparently the proud owner of Updown Court is multi-billionaire crown prince of Dubai, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. The racehorse owner, who already owns a property in Chertsey in Surrey, is expected to entertain official guests at the mansion.

PROPERTY 2

Again, apparently rumoured to be the most expensive house in the world. It’s located in Kensington Palace Gardens in West London, which has been bought by one of the richest tycoons living in Britain. For some reason, there’s really not that much information available about this property, especially compared to Updown Court. It formerly belonged to Bernie Ecclestone, the Formula One racing boss, who bought the home for £50 million as a surprise gift for his wife. The Kensington Palace gardens houses are dubbed ‘billionaires’ row. Nearby are Kensington Palace and the London home of the Sultan of Brunei. It consists of the former Egyptian embassy and a one-time annex to Russia’s embassy knocked together.

What do you get for your money?
To be honest, I don’t really know. Like I said, information is limited. However, I do know you only get 12 bedrooms. Pffft. For 70 million I want at least 20 bedrooms, so who knows why it cost so damn much? There are literally no pictures of this property available, so you’ll have to settle for this ONE (I’m sorry guys)…

• 12 bedrooms
• garage space for 20 cars
• turkish baths
• a ballroom
• an oak-paneled picture gallery
• ornate basement pool
• Jewelled pool
• controlled by 65 state-of-the-art CCTV cameras
• more than 9,000 sq ft of the same marble used in the Taj Mahal is incorporated in the design.

latest gadget

First off, it's beautiful. Showing off gadgetry is easy but showing off this Lenovo is something else. Apart from the two available finishes (hairline and textured), the G450 is awesomely sleek! So thin is this Lenovo that sliding it in and out of your bag is as natural as grabbing a handful of peanuts during inuman. You won't be straining a pretty muscle carrying this 2.4kg laptop.

Its performance is just as beautiful. A high-definition 16-inch screen, along with Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD guarantees spectacular visuals. Its Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T6500 and 2 GB of RAM offer hitch-free performance. You can open a mountain-load of windows and simultaneously run applications and this laptop will still be going. Saving a ton of files is possible, too, since this laptop has 320GB of hard drive space to spare.

Its WiFi b/g capabilities, LAN port and 56k modem only mean quality Facebook time. Three USB ports, meanwhile, assures you a headquarters of sorts. Plug away your gadgetry and do a big file transfer party. All in one go. Convenient, yes?

But the happiest thing about the G450? It takes security concerns seriously. It has a Veriface tech, which lets you use your face as password. At under P33 grand, the G450 is most certainly a value-packed deal.

Red Fox Wizbook N1020i

It's rather obvious by now: the netbook market is fast-growing. Not a week passes by without some laptop manufacturer launching their tiny one. While the netbook itself is quite diminutive in form, the market is already getting pretty homogenized. How else can you pimp a tiny little thing, really?

That said, it's safe to say that the Red Fox Wizbook N1020i isn't exactly a unique snowflake. Its specs are expected: 1.6GHz Intel Atom processor, a gigabyte of RAM (thankfully, upgradeable to 2GB), and a 160 GB hard drive. It's 10.2-inch 1024x600 screen, WiFi a/b/g, and built-in webcam are standard-issue specs, as well.

And based on build, the Wizbook is exactly what a netbook should be: sturdy, solid, lightweight. It should be perfect for any on-the-go dude looking to cram a report inside Starbucks. Except, the Wizbook's keyboard seems to be built for a lady. We know netbooks don't offer much in terms of size, keyboards being the main gripe of folks. But even then, this one feels like an XS.

New Gadget

Westech Korea is launching this new portable wrist-worn GPS device which is designed specifically for sports applications. The Pyxis RGPS-300 features unique modes for tracking all sorts of athletic endeavors including running, biking, hiking, mountain climbing, skiing and even driving. My personal favorite feature is the ability to load up maps of your favorite golf courses and check out how far away you are from the pin.
For now, the device is only available in Korea, but hopefully they’ll see fit to release it in other parts of the world soon.
