ColorWare does the Air
Macs, in general, have always been works of art compared to their rivals, and the MacBook Air is a pinnacle achievement in the line of lust-worthy Apple computers. There's just never been a lot of color choice in the Apple's lineup. For the audacious souls who choose to express their personality through their hardware, ColorWare has been making Macs (et al) into vibrant articulations of individuality for 8 years. And now they'll deck out your Air, too.
ColorWare recently announced the inclusion of the MacBook Air in its line of color-modded machines. Starting with a sleek black, the pigmentation possibilities branch out exponentially when you consider there are 34 other colors that can be mixed and matched in whatever combination best describes your individual taste. You can choose a metallic or solid type of color for the high-gloss, scratch-resistant, polymer-based coating.
For a lot of us – well, me anyway – I'm pretty happy with titanium and white as I've never needed my computer to be a distraction in and of itself. I have enough applications designed for that purpose. But I know there are more than a few people excited about a black MacBook Air, probably even a few tickled about the pink option and many more in the spectrum between.
You can send in your current machine ($500+) or buy one ready to go ($2568+). You can even play with the possibilities before you make the leap.

Would be cool, but I'm not crazy about the price or the fact that you void your warranty. Even thought they offer a warranty with your order its still a little a little scary.

Hmmm.... Remember the original iMacs?
The G3 iMacs came in a few flavors, yes. But it wasn't, in my mind, enough of a splash to override a few years of beige and we returned fairly quickly to more monochrome palettes.

that being said, i'm all for mac customization and i think having the myriad of options colorware provides is great. $500 is definitely a little steep but i suppose "thinking different" doesn't always come cheap.
