This is running after the troubles. The MacBook Pro has been designed in such a way that it considers the aluminum body in the heat disipation. If you paint your MacBook Pro, you increase your chance for getting overheat issues an failures. Sexy or not, it is not a good idea. My .02.

@Shock Me,

I thought it was funny, maybe a little on the dark side of humor, hence his choice for an ID,
“Just Messing Around_Don’t Get Bent”?!

Besides, venting is socially much healtier, as opposed to penting up, don’t you agree?

Political correctness in today’s society,is another causation for pent up emotions and potential hostility.
Not long ago, society used to freely, utilyze sense of humor, just for the purpose of providing a dose of relief.

For the sake of mankind,I hope those days will return, someday again.

Thank You

Wow! That’s a lot of pent-up anger. Nice of you to notice that people might have differences in why they want a Mac. The next time I use your money to buy one I’ll be sure to let you know.

Hmmm, except that ‘different demographics’ for Apple products would more realistically be:

1. Classic white and Emo black, for the starving artist (be it art/photo, music or wannabe filmmaker), even though they probably aren’t starving since they bought a Mac. Jokes aside, graphic arts and ProTools are probably the 2 most legit reasons that you could own a Mac that won’t have Apple haters rolling their eyes

2. Macbook Air in red… because you’ll be in the red for spending twice as much for a laptop that has one usb port and requires you purchase an optical drive separately. Oh, but it’s so thin!

3. various Neon colors with strobe light Apple logo for all the fanboys who need to show off

4. Dust grey for college kids who’s Mac will collect dust because they or their mommies bought it based on ‘hipness’ rather than actually determine if it was actually necessary… buying a Macbook to look at facebook everyday and play Sims while stoned? What a waste…. just like your scholarship!

It is simply gorgeous,…
Sorry everybody, but I have to say this:

Dear Steve Jobs!

Welcome back,
please kindly bring back, the matt black Mac!(iBook 2008,MacTV 1994)

Also for your consideration:

Different choices for different demographics:

1.Anodized metal alloy colors, i.e. magnesium

a.iPod style colors (Youth)

b.Professional and elegant choices(Adult)
i.e. silver/platn/pewter,across the line!

2.Carbon fiber (Sport/PRO)

3.Plastics Original iMac style colors (Education/Parental control)

Consider acquiring the technology, service or a company such as Colorware!
Envision the market share and sales increase, to individuals and institutions!
Cost could easily be recuperated, simply by adding a 10-15% surcharge, and still come out ahead, by countless happy loyal and new customers!

P.S.
On a different note, please reconsider an Apple Mini/Netbook,or at least a 7-9 inch iPod Touch!

Sincerely: F1

Thank You

they need to hook up batman with one of these. have it make an appearance in the next movie – that would be sick.

That is sick. I want a mac but dont want the douche factor associated with owning one. If the apple logo is blacked out it’ll be my next notebook.

I’ll take mine in sandstone texture please. This reminds me of the company that painted and textured the original 128K Macs.

Quite happy with aluminum though.

By the way, if you think I’m showing off pulling out a MacBook Pro at a coffee shop I can assure it was not for the benefit of others. You and your friends are mostly beneath my notice.

lol.

to people here who thought that they r pretty smart by bashing Apple on this topic, please, read again the entire post.

or myb u all thought that Colorware is another lineup by Apple. if that’s the case, i have nothing more to say then.

Thanks Colorware, but I think I’ll stick with my already flat black “soft touch” Zepto NOX A14 that cost me about $4000 less.

I’m not a Mac fan, but the zero-gloss black finish is downright sexy. I’d enjoy having that done to my laptop.

Pen holder painted to match for on $99.99. Now you too can be cool like the idiots with alot of money and no sense. Limited time offer. ACT NOW!

Before anyone else bashes Apple for this – read the damn story. The laptop is for sale by ColorWare – a third-party after market company who takes Apple products and specializes them. Again – it’s NOT apple… Your friend Steve has nothing to do with this.

P.S. It’s “you’re a tool”, not “your a tool”. Trust me, Steve knows proper grammar.

Hey everyone, there’s this thing called ‘internet search’. Some people use this one, it’s called Google. Then theres, like, 2 or 3 others like bing or Yahoo.

Anyhow, try entering this text into what they call a ’search bar’: COLORWARE. then you’ll get this list of things that the search engine finds, the things on this list are called ‘links’. You can click the links with your pointer (you use the mouse to move the pointer by the way, we probably covered that in our first tutorial).

So once you find the official site known as ‘Colorware’, click the link and read about who they are. Especially read about who they are before you talk crap about Apple and high prices. (hint: third party customization house that has no affiliation with the products they customize). Have fun you non-reading sons of bitches!

Oddly enough, I’m defending Apple for once and I hate them so. Funny.

$6K Really!!! I mean the specs are pretty pimp, but you are still talking like $1500 for the paint job. Yo Colorware! Its a laptop, not a car!

Hahahaha a black notebook, WOW! How did they ever come up with such a brilliant idea? No wonder they are charging $6,000. What a joke. Stick to making iPods and iPhones please. I liked all Apple computers being white so it was easy to spot out in the airport who really wasn’t doing any work and was just editing photos and videos of their friends and uploading them to twitter/facebook/etc. I can’t take anybody seriously if they are carrying an Apple notebook.
