Diamond and 24k Gold Macbook Pro
There is now a gold plated MacBook Pro available to purchase from Computer Choppers. There are two versions available to buy, a 24kt Gold & Diamonds 15″ Macbook Pro and the 24kt Gold 15″ Macbook Pro.
The 24kt Gold & Diamonds 15″ Macbook Pro comes with 2.2GHz or 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 802.11n wireless, up to 4GB of 667MHz DDR2 memory with a faster, 800MHz frontside bus, 2 GB of RAM, 160 GB internal drive, internal 8x double-layer SuperDrive, NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT Graphics with 256MB SDRAM, and a 15.4″ TFT display.
The 24 karat gold-plated MacBook Pro comes with its exterior finish in polished 24kt and the interior is satin 24kt gold. Other specs are about the same as that of the 24kt Gold & Diamonds 15″ Macbook Pro.
It’ll cost you $1200-$1500, and take from two to four weeks, but that does include paint matching the keyboard (picture below) and trackpad, and re-etching the keys so the backlight shines through. If you really want to splash out, you can specify a diamond studded logo of your own choosing to replace the glowing apple:

Steve Jobs and Jonny Ive will surely wince when they see what Computer Choppers have done to their beautiful machine, but for readers who weigh in on the wrong side of the Taste:Cash ratio, the 24 karat gold plated MacBook Pro might be just the thing.
