Damn Rich People (Got No Class): Gold-Plated MacBooks

gold-macbook-1.jpg

Because this is the sad, sad world we live in, Computer Choppers (think West Coast Choppers, then forget West Coast Choppers and think of a company that just coats electronics in expensive metals) is selling 24k gold-plated MacBooks. They're perfect for the person who wants their computer to make a statement. In this case, "please steal from me and don't even feel bad about it." The 11" MacBook Air model starts at $7,500 and the 13" regular MacBook at $8,500 -- although I don't even know why I'm posting price info because none of you are going to buy one. I guess that was just my journalistic integrity getting the best of me. "Dammit GW, you are not a journalist." Right? Plus have zero integrity.

Hit the jump for a bunch of closeups.

Thanks to myself, for just being so handsome and rugged and fun to be around.

    So apparently Rolls Royce puts fiber optic lights in the roofs of its cars to look like lil stars because God forbid you put glass there so you can see the real ones. Impressive, Rolls Royce. Kidding -- I'm pretty sure the limo I took to prom a decade ago had this. Creating ... / Continue →

    I hate myself for even using a term like bling bling, ding-a-ling, but I assure you I'll take it out on my liver here in just a little bit. But before the ritualistic alcohol abuse begins, here's a $60K iPhone case made out of t-rex teeth and meteors. Ironic, don't you think?... / Continue →

    A $20K iPhone case? Pfft, what are we, peasants? A $2.5 million one? Please, I've wiped with nicer cell phone cases just because I didn't feel like waddling out to the hall closet for more TP. The world's most expensive phone with a total construction cost of £5 million ... / Continue →

  • Schmooples

    Even If I could buy this semen would still get stuck in the keyboard.

  • n_a_a_s

    yes because macsnob douchebag elitist itards have been longing for something to brag about since the recent (insert year) iphone let down has left them .....dare I say 'average' like everyone else? Poor you mr iFuckingdontcare fagboy, go tweet about it

  • Pretty much this is just a golden apple.

  • What I'm wondering is how this costs less than that gold plated vibrator?

  • BillGatesIsYourDaddy

    because you can actually get pleasurable use out of the vibrator.

  • The more fascinating thing is that there is actually a market for expensive novelty items like this one. Hopefully, the gold plating doesn't affect the computer's functions.

  • Alexander Probst

    Gold is heavy, completely negates teh purpose of a macbook air.

  • BillGatesIsYourDaddy

    It's gold plating...not solid gold

  • $18922249

    47% of Americans should be turned into cattle feed!

  • $18922249

    / sarcasm.

    Unless that is why everyone is all pissy.

  • UNCCRyan

    Hm

  • Lee Tan

    Id like to see 'that' take a .50 Cal.

  • Thaddeus Stevens

    What, no diamonds? Remove yourselves from my grand foyer and take this cheap trinket with you. My gold-plated butler will show you outside.

  • I have no problem with needlessly flaunting wealth, nor do I have a problem with Mac computers.
    I do, however, believe that coating any electronic in gold is pointless seeing as the technology will be obsolete within a few years, after which you have nothing but a very expensive fossil.

  • Because my MacBook isn't heavy enough as it is.

    Oh its an Air.... oh well....
