REVENGE Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 As the long awaited update to the Titanium Powerbook G4, Computer Choppers will soon release the all new MacBook Gold, complete with 24Kt Gold exterior, a matching gold colored and re-etched keyboard, and a diamond encrusted Apple logo to top things off. "Better get out that CheckBook Pro", as one engadget user quiped.

Ayanami Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 I'd rather have a laser engraved pattern on the front of my mac than have it be solid gold.... And can you imagine the fingerprints on that? I would have to buy a special pair of gloves to use it.

djet Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 How much would this thing cost? And if the computer was used to much would it melt the outside from the CPU heat?

Sabr Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 How much would this thing cost? And if the computer was used to much would it melt the outside from the CPU heat? Hehe - no. Gold has a much higher melting point than that.

insanelyinlove Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 It's only gold plated. I believe anything from 10k to 24k is allowed to be advertised as "solid" gold. But this is just gold plated. Yes, it's tacky and blingy, and very Trump Tower Lobby.

Colonel Ingus Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 I wonder how much more it weighs? And why would anyone want to buy something that ultimately would be a magnet to attract someone to hit you over the head and steal it? Rumor has it that they were going to make a Gold PC laptop, but they didn't want to demean the gold.

CLiDE FTW!!1 Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 I'm wondering if the gold would be hot to the touch, considering it is a conductor of heat...

iestyn Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Hmm... imagine what a chrome mbp would look like... You could leave the bottom part of the case in brushed aluminium and have the lid chromed. It would be like a giant iPod!!

Conroe Mac Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 Even the super rich can only get a laptop that is so good. To separate themselves, they have to coat it in gold and diamonds. I say, use your golden laptop. It's friggin fugly, tacky, and tasteless. Mac snobs don't need any help keeping their noses upturned and this certainly doesn't help. If I ever see one of these, it's getting the "point and laugh."
