Jony Ive Designs One-of-a-Kind Red Mac Pro for Product (RED) Charity Auction

[gyang333]

Did he really create this one-off? I mean, he just took the mac pro and made it red, it's not like he went and customized the hardware in any way beyond the paint job.

 

[htdub]

I'm sure the "Gold" one is already in the pipeline

 

[Apple Mac Daz]

that looks awesome and sexy has hell

 

[afireintonto]

Yeah, but this one will still have AppleCare...

apple care is not worth 40k lol

 

[LeoCastillo]

Iron Mac!

Whoa! It's the Tony Stark Mac!!!

 

[Kissaragi]

They are going to make millions at this auction!

 

[DeepIn2U]

*insert witty remark about some household appliance here. WHAT COULD IT BE?

LMAO! Still it looks sick!

Exactly. I wouldn't say simply painting it a different color counts as a "custom design" but oh well its for charity I guess.

 

[wonderspark]

Didn't he already design the regular version?

"Look here. I've *designed* a (RED) version by... making it red instead."

Edit: Beaten to it by gyang333.

 

[DJJAZZYJET]

Looks nice, but it must have been sooooo hard for Jony to make

 

[OrangeSVTguy]

Am I the only one who thinks this is ugly as ****?

Yeah probably are the only one.

 

[HeroofTime231]

I wonder if it comes with AppleCare?

 

[A Hebrew]

By 'design' they mean he went to his local Walmart, bought a bucket of red paint and went to work on one of the current Mac Pros, yes?

 

[OC40]

Worth $40K+?

Maybe for the profligate. I'd say it's worth $1999.

Items sell well above market value at charity events. It is the cause not the product.

 

[MacVault]

Ive's forte is hardware design.

So keep him away from software.

iOS 7 sucks.

 

[Mike MA]

Wow.

 

[JoeG4]

Damn that's pretty. Kinda unfair they don't just let you pick the color you want, since it's a friggin $3000 computer that's almost custom made.

 

[FelixAng]

a can of Coca-Cola...

 

[huschpuscheli]

so jony ive designs red color?

 

[Klae17]

Worth $40K+?

Maybe for the profligate. I'd say it's worth $1999.

Don't be jelly.

 

[TyPod]

Sooooo sick. I hope to see some after market cases like this down the road!

 

[Haifisch]

If they really want to help out Product (RED), why don't they just mass-produce this red version? I'm certain it will sell like crazy.

Because if everyone could get one, no one would want it.

Looks friction' hot!

 

[Giuly]

$60K, still three sub-boards yet still a single SSD slot.
