snap to viewComputer Choppers has finished their custom 24 - carat Au Macbook Pro modification . And it looks just … golden … other than the Apple logo , of grade , which domiciliate more infield than will admit us to ever air this connection to our married woman . We really gave creator Alex Wiley a agile call today to get the lowdown on pricing … and peradventure even placed an order of our own . ( OK , we totally did n’t place an order , but we did get some interesting information ) .
The swank picture you see above would run you about $ 7,000 to $ 8,000 . That includes the figurer , the 24 - carat gold metal plating process and about three carats in diamonds . Do n’t have the money ? corner could be cut ! Plating alone will run you only about $ 1,500 as a standalone procedure , and the total software program price could drop all the direction to $ 5,500 if you were concerned in three-dimensional zirconia diamonds ( but she would cognise , my friend , she would bonk ) .
Interestingly enough , the ruined blingification lend almost no weight — only a few ounces — mostly from the jewel .
Any “ makeweight ” can be chosen where the Apple logotype once exist . We recommend the always suitable lightning dash .
But at the death of the daylight , what ’s the point of a gold laptop computer ? Is there even a grocery store , or is the story just thoroughgoing fodder for an diverting weekend click ?
“ For these affair , I do n’t even know if there is a good [ market ] , ” Wiley enounce . “ This is a first for me , but I ’m gear up to get some more out . ”
Well , there was at least a securities industry for this finical unit of measurement . Because it ’s already been sold , fanboys .
