Doesn't it make more sense to keep the beautiful Mac aesthetic intact and construct a beautiful leather carrying case around the MacBook Air? Here in Italy, I found this beautiful case in handstained leather from Orbino called the Arista:

Any appeal it may have is shat all over by the "Computer Choppers" logo (is that Impact? Really?) and the appaling use of that fucking Edwardian Script.

Cl-assey.

I've been waiting for this product for a long time. I'm a trendy socialite, but also a pretentious cock.

They killed with the Computer Choppers thing. . . Could have made it look good with the Mac Book air on it. . .

This is a great example of when having everything GOLD isn't so appealing.

The Apple logo done in programmable LED's to mimic the old style logo and offer the option of custom messages would have been a way better mod.

Small weenie syndrome. I guess if I had a ton of money I wouldn't want everybody and their brother to know just how much by pissing it away.

Snoop Dogg Vid -- WTF !!

@geekinky: that would be Flava Flav!

Also if they're gonna mod a MBA -- then at least they could have modded the high end one for that much scratch - ya think?

Nope - even with the "zoomed out" pics - it still looks like shit_

Also - the MBA was modded in gold and jewels because the Macbook is just too heavy for Paris Hilton_

@Jesus Diaz: Whatever the connection, that vid was so funny I had to come back and view it again. I am not what you might call a Snoop fan, but thats some righteous shit there.

To dig up my recent quotes from the Casio gold watch thing...

"I love...GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLD.

Can I paint his yoo-hoo gold now? It's kind of my thing, you know...

Yesh, salty. Yesh that was good."

I'm sure the old-school logo looks sick indoors/at night (I did that mod sans crystals to my macbook pro), but the rest of that computer does not entice me in the least bit.

also, why does it look like it was photograpped in the corner of a supply closet? $3000 for aesthetic mods and you're skimping on a decent location/setup?

Bling: OK, though I would rather wear it than have it on my laptop.
Snoop video: Hilarious. (I have never seen it before) but I dont see the connection.

All that glisters is not gold,
Often have you heard that told:
Many a man his life hath sold,
But my outside to behold:
Gilded tombs do worms infold.

Well if the Arab oil billionaire is the target demographic, then this model needs to be as energy inefficient as possible. Maybe it can me modded to be run on a barrels of light sweet crude.
