It's far from the first to turn a standard issue Mac laptop into entirely different, but Munk Bogballe has gone a bit further than most with its new Workstation laptop, which turns an otherwise modest MacBook into a full-fledged slab of excess. That includes an anodized aluminum surface, European aniline leather on the underside, and even a specially designed leather bag (which costs a hefty $640 on its own if you want a second one). As for the hardware itself, you get a standard 2.4GHz MacBook under that shiny exterior, right down to the MagSafe adapter, although it is at least topped off with 4GB of RAM and it apparently comes with Windows XP pre-installed for your convenience. If that sounds like the laptop you wish Apple had made, you can get your order in now for £3,500 (or just over $6,700), which also generously includes a donation of one OLPC XO laptop to make you feel a bit better about your ridiculous purchase.
Very nicely put.
For a second I thought it was the Macbook Air with a base attached to it.
Workstation with a x3100? Yeah right....
Needs moar screen bezel! It's so fucking ugly with such a lack of screen bezel!!!
i woulda put the word Luxury in quotes not the word workstation:P why would you pay this company money to turn what is a striking piece of design into something that looks worse that a Fisher Price Laptop you get for a five year old.
And btw if you HAVE to run xp on a mac and moan about 1 button then just get a two button usb mouse duh. two buttons arent really needed in osx, anything that you would get by right clicking on a PC can be easily accessed by key commands.
