Gold-plated MacBook Air breaks Steve Jobs' heart

We've already seen the MacBook Air bathed in gold and crystals, but it seems that people just can't leave well enough alone, with the folks at Computer Choppers (no strangers to gilded Macs) only the latest to spare no expense in taking the laptop to heights of tackiness that no one from Cupertino would ever dare dream of. That includes 24kt gold plating over the entire laptop and, in a final stake through El Jobso's heart, an Apple logo ensconced in multi-colored sapphires -- not to mention a polished gold SuperDrive to go along with it. If your eyes can take it, you can find a few more pics in the gallery below.

Is anybody else wondering if it will blend?

I hope anyone who thinks about buying this realizes that they could instead buy themselves a normal Macbook along with a 2nd one for a broke college student like myself.

Still waiting for the Chia Mac Pro ;)

I would buy but I don't have a gold chain strong enough and long enough to wear it and use it a the same time.
