Ducati may have its roots firmly planted on the highway, but the high-end label certainly isn’t scared of stepping out from time to time. After gifting firms like SanDisk and Sony Ericsson with the right to use its name on various gizmos, the motorcycle maker is now linking up with Toshiba on a special edition laptop.

The Satellite U500 Ducati is a 13.3-inch ultraportable equipped with an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570 (512MB), an Intel Core 2 Duo P8700 and 4GB of RAM. Naturally, the primarily white device will boast its fair share of Ducati badging, but seemingly lacks the company’s trademark desmodromic valve actuation. Precise pricing information wasn’t made public, but you can bet only those with more money than sense will take interest when it ships later this month in Italy.
