24 Karat Gold Plated MacBook Pro | Nov 14, 2007 |
Everything that is Mac tends to amaze! As a true fan of all that's Mac, I can't skip the celebration of something new about it. The 24 Karat Gold Plated MacBook Pro is not another upgrading of hardware, and it isn't even related to Apple! Let's get into it for a bit... well, the computer (the very inside we put worth in) is actually a 2.2 or 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 802.11n Wi-Fi, 2GB of RAM and a 160GB internal drive. The big deal about it is that it is gold plated allover – keyboard, housing, etc., and optionally can include the diamond-encrusted Apple's emblem.
It probably doesn't make sense for those who take MacBook as an irreplaceable work tool. It seems that this glamorous look of the lap top can distract attention from what you are actually doing on it.
This gold-plated MacBook is actually the idea of Computer Choppers. Steve Jobs would definitely like the metamorphosis of MacBook, Computer Choppers can perform. You can benefit from two versions: 1) a 24-karat gold-and-diamond version, with the diamonds filling the Apple logo, or 2) the plain gold version. The diamond version has approximately 2 karat total weight in diamonds, which might make a gorgeous wedding ring.
Computer Choppers promises to turn your MacBook into a gold brick within 2-4 weeks. It'll cost you $ 1,200-$ 1,500, some even speak about sums such as $ 6,000 and $ 9,000.
The customized MacPro comes with a one-year warranty (hardware, plating, and custom painted keyboard/track pad). The kit also includes extra case feet, a microfiber cleaning kit, a Radtech Sleevz and screen protector.
The only thing I'm worried about is that this shiny, big gold brick can attract undesired glances, and finally can be stolen. What I'm gonna do then?
PS. The 'predictors' say that the next project of Computer Choppers will probably be a 24-inch aluminum iMac.
