The $39,750 MacBook Air

If the golden iPod isn't luxurious enough for you, check out this MacBook Air. Called "Golden Age", it's got a coating of 24k gold beneath 12,000 Swarovski crystals. Each crystal was applied by hand (of course), and only 20 Golden Age Airs have been made.

That's right, you can buy one! Why not show up at Starbucks with an Apple laptop that cost nearly 40 thousand dollars? And people say Mac users are smug.

Thanks, Marco!

Wow! How much does it weight I wonder?
And who'd buy it?
I think all thedecorations don't suit the MacBook Air at all. Alhough the coloured one http://www.maconair.com/air_gets_color might be pretty. I'd love to have a yellow.

IÂ´m not the target group of the MacBook Air, because for me its not really important to have a light and thin notebook. But this one seems to fit better...
