RED MacBooks and iMacs?

[funkychunkz]

a red imac would be disgusting, worse than if it were brown. A red macbook would be pretty stylish.

WOW, photographic proof! I guess it must be true then!

I agree with others that an all-red Macbook or iMac might be too much, but then again I thought the red iPod looked like too much, too...

EDIT: Is that a red iPhone Oprah's holding? Man, Steve Jobs is going to be so mad that photo got leaked...

Studies Show. . .

Studies show that white is actually more eye-catching than red.

It's easy to find or fund a study that yields a desired result(s) . . . regardless of topic. I could probably find a study that shows that reading is bad for your health!

Studies show that studies show anything you want!

I would get a red macbook for sure but I think that a red imac would look ugly.

Would a red MacBook get more speeding tickets? Would it actually run faster just because it was red?

 

[Wonder Boy]

I'd consider a red video ipod.

Its sorta sad that the all mighty ThinkSecret has fallen, now on page 2.

FWIW, they seem to agree. The Secret Notes section carrying this story is something recently added over there, it's the TS equivalent to Page 2.

According to the site, Steve Jobs and Bono have considered bringing a RED iMac or RED MacBook to market.

That would definetely look ugly, especially the iMac.

Red's my favourite colour, and so I think a red MacBook would be awesome. I'd like it to be shiny like the white MacBooks. Although I'm tempted to say the inside bezel, case and keyboard should be white still, as I'm not sure I'd like the red round the screen when I'm trying to work, especially with photos or something.

I think the red would look a little goofy... kind of like those Ferrari edition laptops someone was making a few years back. Bad idea.

Doesn't look so bad to me. They just need to jack up the contribution. $10 for an iPod Nano is CHEAP considering the profit margin. Should have been $25 at least. I'll be looking for a couple hundred contribution for an entire laptop.

 

[Clydefrog]

yuck red macbooks those would look horrid

wow I hope this doesn't fly!

And if it does the MBPs had better have Core 2 Duo's in them.... (yes I had to bring it up)

 

[spicyapple]

A deep, rich red MacBook Pro would look nice. The aluminum finish would have more cachet than candy-coloured red of the glossy MacBook finish. Agreed?

 

[Doctor Q]

It's hard for something red to stay in style for long. With a bright color, what's new and cool can quickly become out-of-fashion.

 

[mrcammy]

I would love to buy a red 24" iMac. If it came in black...

 

[wyatt23]

hooray for helping aids, boo for making extremely bright red macbooks.

i like the elegance and fun [yes, simultaneously] the white brings to the table.

the red screams... hey look! my acer ferrarri notebook has an apple logo on it.

Shouldn't the title be changed to "RED Macbooks and iMacs?" ?

[Mod note: yes and we fixed it]

 

[SeaFox]

Shouldn't the title be changed to "RED Macbooks and iMacs?" ?

No, it should be "(PRODUCT) Red MacBooks and iMacs next?"

Red would take away from the sleek exclusuve image and look tacky. I think it is a bad idea

ithink any color apple does for mac book must be aqua like. meaning color and thick gloss. this would add depth and loof sleek, like Jeff Claassen multi layerd resin art works.

It's unfortunate that Apple uses threads like this to "focus group" new product.
