Jun 13 2007MacTruck super tough notebook case
MacTruck is a case built for Mac notebooks made from 5052-H32 aluminum alloy, a super tough magnesium aluminum alloy used for making tanks. The MacTruck starts at $200, and the manufacturers claim you can drive a truck over it and your computer will survive. Plus it would look crazy cool handcuffed to your wrist. You could put on sunglasses and a suit and everything.

@Joe Mamma - Don't worry, I'm sure you can fit a real laptop into that case.
Fun scenario:
Briskly walk through airport while saying loudly to no one:
"These MP3s NEED to get to the White House by tomorrow morning!"

I've always wanted a suitcase handcuffed to my wrist...

I've always wanted to sever a mac users hand at the wrist for something I didn't even want.

Great so when the men shoot you and hacksaw your hand off to get your suitcase with the money in it.... its just a shitty mac... actually... I encourage all mac users to get one of these cases.

I can't help but feel you guys don't like macs.
It's great having a case that protects it if a truck runs over it, but surely this would be worse if you dropped it? I'm guessing I'm more likely to drop my laptop than have it crushed by a truck...

There has to be some kind of copyright on this MacTruck name... And where's the "i"??? How can it be an apple product without an "i"?
How about:
iTruck
iCase
iDropmylaptopalot

I have no problem with Macs, unless you keep touching me with it. I dislike mac users who are so insistent that mac's are better, and usually don't provide any relevant reason why. When they do provide relevant reasons, they don't seem to outweigh the cost/funtionality/upgradability requirements of peoples like myself.

But i must say Windows blue screen errors are a major pain in the butt.
Did i just say butt? i'm so turned on now..

Haven't seen a BSOD since windows 98. That as clever as you can be #10? Why do I get the distinct feeling that you have one of those plastic protective covers on your keyboard?

Do people actually still buy Macs?
What a world, what a world..

I've got a macbook that was driven over with a jeep by its previous owner. Still works perfectly. Notebook cases are overrated....unless you bought a dell, compaq or toshiba

Reasons why I like Macs better:
I like the creative programs it offers, Adobe After Effects never works for me but Final Cut works terrifically, and then you also have the other programs (such as Shake).
My old PC with WIndows 2000 on it, had to be wiped and everything reinstalled because just going to like IMDb would give me a virus, but I do the same exact things on my Mac and don't have any trouble.
The only reason I would get a PC again is for gaming, but I'm not into computer gaming that much, so I honestly don't have that much yearning for another Windows computer.
