Aluminum colours like the nanos?

*YES, I did spell coloUrs right

i'm sure they could do it well but i don't like the sound of it...

Chappers · Oct 7, 2008, 05:46 AM

God I hope not. iPods is one thing - but Mac - a few colours, maybe - but the rainbow of colours - NO.

GuntherS · Oct 7, 2008, 05:50 AM

No, that would give it a very unprofessional look.
Maybe only a Product RED version.

iCantwait · Oct 7, 2008, 05:50 AM

...Bondi Blue

mickbab · 05:58 AM

ouch...a bright green macbook...

seeing as i am incompetent with photoshop, can anyone do up a macbook set in the new nano colours?

imagine a black macbook!!!

EDIT: if that is easy of course

Yeah you spelt colours right... but you spelt aluminium wrong!

And for the record if Apple brings out multi-coloured MacBooks I will personally open up a galvanising workshop to make them black and white again!

chrono1081 · Oct 7, 2008, 07:06 AM

Omg that would be amazing.

I would have a green one in a heartbeat.

Might look good but i think it will ruin apples macbooks originaless

if that makes sense. It will turn in to VAIO paradise

It would be cool, but highly impractical from a business perspective.

Besides I would only buy the black one, which they already have and may offer.

Insulin Junkie · Oct 7, 2008, 11:55 AM

I'd go for an acid apple green =)
But yes, can't see it happening either, for more than one reason.

reebzor · Oct 7, 2008, 12:28 PM

dude, just buy a dell.

we all know you want to.

if they offered a White and black amongst the choice of colours then that'd solve that problem.

Choice is good. I voted "Yes."

Last year I was at a pub for christmas day. At the table next to me were a family with 3 kids (aged 9 - 15) each one pulled a coloured Vaio ( I think) out of their bag. Someone said how lucky the kids were, to which the dad (I presume) said:
"I really wanted to get them Apple laptops but they wanted a coloured computer each"

Awesome anecdote. =D Still, the kids didn't want an Apple to start off with =O On the topic of colored Vaios, I'm still cursing the fact they don't have colored AR series notebooks.

Personally, colored aluminum gets annoying as the device gets bigger. Color makes small devices pop, but looks like a garish explosion on laptops.

If only he had heard about colorware...

Anyway, I don't think it's coming. Come on, people don't buy laptops just as impulsively as iPods (meaning there're many people who'd get a red/green/whatever Nano, but not a notebook), and storage/transportation cost for laptops is bigger than for iPods (since they're heavier and bigger). So, I don't think so. Although I'd like it if they came in different colours. Or at least offered all laptops in black anodized aluminium version.

Macbook, Blackbook, Macbook Pro.

Solved

tMac85 · Oct 7, 2008, 01:24 PM

i called this a long time ago. i wouldnt be surprised if they do this! not sure which color i would pick. it would be hard. i dont really like when people stare and i figure if i had a bright colored macbook people would.

hmmm the orange? oh but the yellow would be nice... or a chocolate brown! black...no silver. no yellow....ahhhh

actorkid · Oct 7, 2008, 02:01 PM

they probably wouldn't market it as "macbook-chromatic" Doesn't flow

It would probably be something like

"Mac-chromatic" or something

I do like the idea of different colored macbooks though
