Gold plated McBook Pro the ultimate in bling

In case mobiles covered in Swarovski crystal wasn't enough, ComputerChoppers are offering to plate your McBook Pro in 24 carat gold, for around £700.

As you can see from looking on their site, they do a really good job - completely taking apart the machine, painting and re-etching the keyboard, the works.

For an extra fee you can get the Apple logo encrusted with diamonds.

I want to see someone replace the aluminium with titanium so we don't have to put up with the constant dings and scratches. My TiBook was a great laptop :-(

(No, I won't stop calling them McBooks. My McBook is a cheap shadow of the former Powerbook glory that Apple used to produce, and as a Mac laptop user for the last 8 years I think I have the experience to make such a judgement call. Stop the complaining.)
