looks cool. they should put foot-pedals at the base so you can adjust brightness or turn it on/off with our feet (customizable and connected via bluetooth :D)

edit: and they should put a printer into the wood, so it doesn't look like a printer but just a slot in the wood (like the slot-loading drives except wider)

maybe for brightness/volume, but certainly not power! that thing would be turned on and off waaay too much then!

i just can't see anyone buying this though, sure it looks nice, but doesn't exactly fit in either

That is Gorgeous

This is not to be meant "practical" in the sense we use our Macs. It is for something very special and haute couture. The trackpad shoulod be centered, and bigger.

If I had plenty of disposable income, I would buy one...

wow talk about ugly and worthless.

they should have just glued the mac on a block of wood, if this is your definition of gorgeous well...nevermind i'll be civil.

also for all practical purposes, i'd love to see you melt your motherboard without any ventilation. someone obviously had too much spare time and no eye for design.

there is ventilation, look at the QT vr on the site, it is a great design, but i dont see many businesses taking advangae of it

WOW :eek: That is Cool. I realize it's not meant to replace a desk but as a kiosk in a hotel or what have you. I would just wonder how durable it is as most kiosk for lobby's tend to be build like tanks and with good reason.

Definatly a interesting look.

Wow, that's really cool. It's great for the places mentioned on the site (hotels, shows, etc). Definitely not for the home though. Like the look of the wood too.

But I just have to ask... iWood? :D

Did anyone get the price tag? Looks extremely expensive. :eek:

Yea they probably are. Not sure if it means anything, but in the 'Where to buy' page, there isn't any U.S. contact info.

I doubt individuals can purchase it either. I could see it in something like bath and body works or similar "organic" type stores where you can browse their online catalog.
