ROFLMAO. Doing what Apple did 10 years ago?

You can get different color or pattern "skins" for MacBooks.

Alienware has been doing it forever, and Acer recently came out with a Ferrari one, came in red with the stallion logo and all.

That gives me an idea... my white iBook lost a little bit of shine over the years... adding a couple black stripes and a checkered theme and it will fit to my PW/B

My Mac Book Pro is already the same color as most of the stuff in my interior.

Help Please...I'm looking to buy a laptop. Any ideas?? It's for personal use (e-mails,internet). Here's the catch... NOT interested in dealing with companies that outsource to Foreign countries for their customer service!!! Like Dell.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! $800.00 price range

Well, they have Jet Black. That's a start. Where are the stripe options?

If you have an aluminum PowerBook or MacBook Pro, there's a company that will etch the lid with any design you want.

Yeah, and not as cool as Apple's were 10 years ago, clamshell/toilet seat notwithstanding.

An aside - someone mentioned those skins that are available for the current crop of MacBooks/Pros (and I'm sure others as well). DON'T DO IT!! They scratch the hell out of your computer's casing when little bits of dirt get sandwiched between the skin and the computer. I'm referrin specifically to the ones made by Speck, but I'd imagine it's true for most of them.
