  "account": "A custom-built mini PC crafted from 13kg of solid gold has been created by Kubb, a European manufacturer of premium mini PCs. Weighing six times more than the aluminum version, the gold edition is priced at a staggering $1.7 million, or around £1.3 million, making it more valuable than the combined cost of 60 new cars.\n\nThe fanless Kubb Fanless, which typically offers options up to an Intel Core Ultra X7 358H or AMD Ryzen AI 5 340 CPU and up to 128GB of DDR5 RAM, is now made from 24-carat gold instead of aluminum. This material choice offers better thermal conductivity, providing improved passive cooling, albeit at a high price.\n\nSome may view this extravagant gold mini PC as an ostentatious display of wealth and a speculative investment, given the current surge in gold prices post-pandemic. However, the buyer's intentions remain undisclosed, and this story does not provide any investment advice.",
