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.

what a massive creation of apple buddies
Who needs a diamond-studded laptop that will just break eventually anyway??? What a waste of money.
right
Are you kidding???? Apple doesn't break.
nothing happens to apple
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.
um dude they make either a fake or just one for marketing…then they would be made once an order is placed and paid for
omg you should all check out the most expensive ring it’s amazing
what do u mean a waste of money…i love my gold mac!!!its sooo pretty..i got it for my sweet 16
I fink dis laptop is awsome!!! The colour is gr8!!!!
So wot if youu spend all that money on it and it breaks?? It’s a bloomin good laptop!!! :-]
PUFF DADDY HAS 1
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.
u bought the laptop i dont think u need 2 save
wow, what a system
if i could have it
No doubt Its a great awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!! no match
waste money even it’s not look good
it seems a lot of stuff get gold plated and fitted with diamonds but what next? will they make a laptop out of moon rock^^
I agree. I think it should be about superior technology then diamonds. Diamonds get boring after a while.
I really dislike gold…
And im happy for you Lauren, but some of us have lives with limmited amounts of money to work with. Glad you enjoy it though.
Its not so pretty when you get a virus on it lol
Dude its a mac.
Why would anyone buy it… I SOOO WANNA BUY IT
i like the 1st one and the 3rd one. the second one is. U-G-L-Y
3rd one is great but the 1st and 2 are cheeze ;p
Whats the use of it.It works the same as any old macbook.
apple is the best company ever and if someone is that rich its worth it but in my opinion they should donate that money to poor people
it won't happen in million years.but maybe in billion years.
You are soooo right. WTF is the point of gold if the thing sucks…… unless its just a showcase.
