Someones making a gold-plated MBP... :eek:

[Genghis Khan]

i admit i'm usually the most reserved person i know...but i do like this

 

[Sbrocket]

Who would actually use a gold-plated MacBook Pro as a laptop? I'd be afraid I'd damage it or it would get stolen if I carried it with me.

 

[juanster]

ahhaha,, yeha way too tacky IMO but to each their own right?

 

[muttley1211]

Looks like something Donald Trump would like

 

[/V\acpower]

A clean silver Apple Logo would look WAY better.

If I was filthy rich, I would buy myself a Gold plated MBP...

The problem is, can I consider myself filthy rich ?...I think I need to sleep on this.

It reminds me of the gold RAZR that at&t has.

That thing will have scratches within an hour after owning it.

And that differs from other Apple products how? I think I scratched the metal back of my iPod getting it out of the box and scratched the plastic front turning it on!

... not being racist, but i know a lot of Middle East and Eastern people like gold way more than the rest of us.....

haha as soon as i read your post i couldn't help but think of south park with xerxes.... persians are going to cover everything with gold and put blue shag carpet everywhere

Substitute black velvet paintings for shag and you've got Puerto Rico.

You could also get a white gold plated one I'm sure. And I wouldn't expect it to last very long. It'd be pretty hard to get a thick layer of gold on something that big.

I personally wouldn't mind a colored aluminum MBP. That'd be easier and more cost effective. FWIW, I think with some of the stuff we have at work, I could turn my MBP black. Acid does some weird things to metals, especially when you mix electricity in with it all.

I wonder how much more heavier this thing would be than the Al based MBP.

Better than that is the solid gold coated 8GB nano - an utter bargain at £9000/ $18000

 

[triddent222]

yuck...that looks awful >.>

I wonder why people like gold so much. There's a group of people called the "new rich" who think EVERYTHING gold is pretty. Really, it's not.... Or, they would buy pretty much anything golden (like a $50K, 24k Gold Mouse...)...I myself consider gold to be a particularly difficult color to use, especially on high-end electronics. It just doesn't look good, in most cases.

I think the keyboard looks pretty cool, maybe if it was that keyboard and a gold colored mbp (not gold plate, too much shine for me) almost like the new gold razr I think someone else mentioned.

 

[shinji]

would look better in platinum

 

[Transeau]

Wow, now all it needs are 24" wire-spoke wheels and hydraulics.

24kt Gold Macbook Pro Finished

[macmike47]

That falls into the category of "insanely-cool-but-I-wouldn't-want-one-even-for-free"

Imagine opening that up on the train [Cringe]

 

[synth3tik]

Never thought you could make a MBP look ugly

 

[portent]

Ugh. It'd look better if they spray-painted it Zune brown.

 

[72930]

I wonder what a beautiful dark and shiny Leopard desktop would look on that thing...it certainly changes the look of the new racooniMac dramatically...

 

[phillipjfry]

Would go good with mah grill!

 

[iBookG4user]

That's pretty awesome, I wonder what the temperatures are on it though.

 

[MarkMS]

Like I need to spend more on a $2k computer. That thing just screams "I'm a snobby attention whore".
