Limited-Edition MacBook Costs $207,900
It's a platinum MacBook with diamonds and gems.
A limited-edition MacBook by Liverpool-based Stuart Hughes is the now proud owner of the "world's most luxurious laptop" label, earning its prize by costing a meaty $207,900 USD. While this is a limited edition, the Air Supreme Ice Edition isn't sporting out-of-this world hardware that will drive your car and shop for groceries. What this portable rig sports is diamonds, gems, and platinum... everything a hardware enthusiast doesn't need.
"Encrusted with 25.5 cts of ‘I'F' Flawless diamonds, a magnificent total of 53 individually set sparkling gems dwell beautifully in their solid Platinum Apple logo," reads the company's description. The front housing is made from a single sheet of solid, highly-polished platinum. The remaining portions feature a polished aluminum finish.
A thorough investigation of the website revealed no actual hardware specs. Apparently in this case it's all about what the hood's appearance rather than what's under it. Still, if you have the funds, grab it quick, as there are only 10 units to be made.
But we think this is the worst way to spend $207,990 USD.

dumb
Is this the price for like the whole stock of limited edition Mack Books?
$207,900? Why is Apple cutting the price of its MacBook?
i wonder how that platinum is going to affect heating?

I laughed.
I'll take my black, steel, 60 lb case over that. Not worth it.
Hi, I'm Mac.
And I'm a PC.
Mac, why do you cost so frigging much?
You wouldn't understand PC.
...I don't understand, that's why I'm asking.
Well you see, PC, I am made of a precious metal and have lots of these sparkling gemstones all over the place.
...But none of that does anything at all. You're asking people to pay money for a useless addition to your product.
Well of course I am. See, I told you you wouldn't understand.
At least diamonds and platinum won't be obsolete in two years.
Im going to sell my house to buy this. I must have it.
I always believed MAC's have the best designs and whenever there would be a limited edition, its got to be in platinum.. Not to sure about the diamonds though.. But it really adds up to the alredy brilliant looks..
wow, lol i clicked the wrong quote. I laughed to the one below, obviously...

Sorry for the spelling mistakes..
Damn, I quoted the wrong comment...

Lol, that wont even have enough precious metals and diamonds in it to cover half the price.
You could just buy a few gold bars, and sit your laptop on top of them. I think that makes more of a statement than this does.
If i saw someone with that I'd assume it was just a tacky fake and that they had no class.
Gamers don't want diamonds on their babies! We want sexy hardware that can bring the most out of our games. We can make a godly PC for less than 1/10* of that macbook price. whoops
This is like the 3rd story in 2 weeks of hardware coated in gems and exotic metals...that person could have purchased the normal version and donated the rest to a charity of any kind and it would have not been such a blatent waste of $$.
The thing will still be outdated in a couple years and anyone that finds your purchase awesome is just as much an idiot as the person that bought it for 200k

1/4? more like 1/10.
I'd love to have a uni-body-diamond Macbook pro
Damn, this is a steal compared to that guy's HDTVs. 1 million pounds (go figure, you take a 55" screen then coat it in 19kgs of gold.)
[That's $1.49M US, and 42lbs of gold.]

Unlike any Mac, which is obsolete 3 years before it hits store shelves.
And it still can't play Crysis.

... we can make a godly PC network (lan) node consisting of about 15 godly computers and one super high bandwidth switch from CISCO for less than 1/4 of that...
For that price they should also throw in a software engineer who lives in your closet and will pop out and instantly fix any problems.
Wow! What a waste! Now if this were a PC...
all you apple bashers just have no idea. apple is like a porsche, dont compare it to a peecee which is more like a honda. steve jobs is a genius and this is worth every penny. dont agree with me? just check apple stock prices
Why do people keep bring up charity. For one thing you don't know if these guys who would buy this contributes to charity or not. As far as you know he might have donated to charity more then what you make in a lifetime. And if he doesn't so what. It's not his job to take care of others who can't or refuse to take care of themselves.
As far as the macbook it's simply more of a piece of jewelry then a computer.
... and it will sell.
I wish I had $207,900 to spend on such products
Why isn't anyone using the edit comment feature!!!! These "sorry" post's are annoying!!!!
i bet you some douchbag is going to buy it and "work" in a starbucks.
@Dorky that's the dumbest thing I've read so far. A mac maybe a porsche, but a pc can be a ford escort or a Bugatti Veyron
Why isn't anyone using the edit comment feature!!!! These "sorry" post's are annoying!!!!
Because some people like me are at work (let's be serious) and work blocks the forum part of the website, so they can't get in to edit. Why there isn't just an edit button is beyond me.
