Gold MacBook Air Has Bejeweled Rainbow Apple

Behold the 24 karat amber MacBook Air with a bejewel edition of the classic rainbow Apple . Why anyone would want a heavy , fingerprint - magnet version of a MacBook Air except a racy oil color tycoon from the United Arab Emirates , I do n’t know . But even while all the bright gold and colored sapphires may look tacky at first , I have to admit that it really looks kind of cool when you see the whole affair . See it , along with all the info about the bling job and Leontyne Price , after the jumping .

OK , so mayhap it only take care cool if a ) you just woke up from a 1977s cocain - induced coma after a dark in Studio 54 , b ) you ca n’t resist the allurement of the rainbow Apple and outwear gold underpants , c ) you were Snoop Dogg ’s stylist in Sensual Seduction or d ) all of the above . Either way , I wonder how many pound sterling all that gold sum to the Air , and how many clam it would subtract from my wallet .

Update : We talked with Alex Wiley from Computer Choppers , who gave us all the answer : “ The weight has n’t perceptibly changed since its metal plating . The jewellery may contribute an oz. or two , if that . ” accord to Alex , the Air is a standard 1.6ghz/2gb/80 GB , with a 24 - karat gold metal plating , milled outside , and monotone / crystallite interior . The price : $ 5000 USD ( including the fresh MBA ) . “ Diamonds and jewellery look on what the client asks for , ” Alex points out , “ the rainbow is 14 - carat gold with 3.8ctw sapphires and tally another $ 3000 USD . ” The coolest affair : “ You should see it light up when the screen twist on . ” [ Computer Choppers ]
