World's Most Expensive Apple MacBooks

Apple’s MacBook laptop computers may have gotten off to a rocky start in 2006, but that doesn’t mean things can’t get rockier still. Of course, we’re not talking about random shutdowns anymore. No, this time the rocks are diamonds and Swarovski crystals.

PowerMax Maxbook pro – $6,499 or $7,999

In late 2007, PowerMax introduced us to the gold-plated MacBook Pro. The 24k gold case, complete with diamond-studded Apple logo, housed a 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo CPU and could be purchased in 15.4” and 17” models.

Bling My Thing MacBook Air – $40,000

The extraordinarily thin MacBook Air has been given the Swarovski treatment. The Golden Age MacBook Air is coated with 12,000 hand-set Swarovski crystals. These special lead crystals bring out the sparkle in the 24k gold plate that forms the laptop’s case. Only twenty of the expensive MacBook were made and it took about a week to place all those crystals by hand.

Stuart Hughes MacBook Air Supreme Ice Edition – $200,000

Stuart Hughes’ “Supreme” luxury devices are usually high-end consumer electronics with their outer shells swapped out for solid gold and buttons replaced with precious stones. With the MacBook Air, however, he’s gone a slightly different direction. This time, the shell is made of 2.5 kilograms of pure platinum. Of course, he hasn’t forgotten the stones–the Apple logo is made with 53 flawless diamonds weighing in at 25.5 carats. The most expensive MacBook in the world is a limited edition of only 10 notebooks.

  The good thing ’bout these diamond-studded things’ when it gets broken, you could still sell those diamonds round it.

What the heck is wrong with apple they spent that much money on such a thing that probably won’t sell, and even if it does idk that they will get a ton of profit out of it anyways.

I agree 100% with Lauren. My gold MacBook Pro runs so much better than a the regular old silver one. You guys have to stop being so darn cheap, The gold one is well worth the extra money. My gold Mac is going to be really cool as soon as I get $29.00 saved up for the Snow Leopard up grade.

  B.S. If you can afford a gold Macbook Pro you don't need to save $29.00.

  I agree. I think it should be about superior technology then diamonds. Diamonds get boring after a while.
