OK . . . don't kill the messenger, but I just heard on the radio that Bono got his own Red MacBook from Steve Jobs this week to match his red iPod . . . . if they put a premium on black, why not put a premium on red with some of the proceeds going to the Charity?

Just a hunch but ... I'm guessing the market for red MacBooks is about nil.

AssassyN · May 17, 2006, 10:06 PM

Except over here at NC State.

This Alum would buy one in a heartbeat!

And Pink for breast cancer awareness
And yellow for typhoon awareness
And blotchy brown-red-black for skin cancer awareness
And rainbowish for sexual awareness
And yellowish-brown for anti-smoking awareness
And clear with some floating ice cube for alcohol awareness

You forgot about puzzle pieces for autism awareness. And should yellow be for, uh, Really Fast Cancer-stricken Cyclist awareness?

I'd buy one, although only if it didn't flake, and it didn't cost $150 more.

I bet Apple will release a special edition Red at some point after the initial flurry of MacBook sales.

AssassyN · May 18, 2006, 01:15 AM

In all seriousness, www.colorware.com will offer one in red soon.

Yakov · May 18, 2006, 01:18 AM

i doubt it.
more likely: www.colorwarepc.com

Their site (colorwarepc) says May 26th. With a steep price of 1699.00

wow that looks hot. if i had 500$ to burn i would do it.

masugu · May 18, 2006, 01:05 PM

well, again...this is not just for folks who like Red, but for those who want to raise awareness for AIDS support.

quiklee · May 18, 2006, 03:06 PM

so will the extra 500 you spend through colorware or 200 you spend through apple be tax deductible as a charitable donation?

I think Yellow would be tight -

you know . . someone out there must be making some kind of sticker as we speak

does anyone have an old Mossimo sticker they're not using . . .

Will the Apple logo be replaced by a Fisher Price one?

chrisutley · May 18, 2006, 07:35 PM

I'm sure some people would buy faux wood trimmed MacBooks too, doesn't means Apple should mass produce them.

elcheapo · May 18, 2006, 07:51 PM

Personally I want a prime gray one, but parts of the top have to be different shades of black with a big wing on it. Will have to replace the exhaust with an exhaust port the size of a coke can, add some neon lights and maybe 1 or 2 Nozzzzzzzzzzz. Oh and don't forget the stickers...

masugu · May 18, 2006, 08:08 PM

Now now..we are not talking about mass-production....but Apple would have to figure out their break even / how much Bono's freindship means to Jobs ;-)

iMacfan · May 19, 2006, 10:13 AM

I must also say that I was half expecting a RED Macbook or iPod, and that the Black Macbook, given that it seems like there is a hefty premium just for the colour (though the finish might be a bit better) seems to be in bad taste...

I for one would totally love a red one... Shiny, red, just like Kaneda's motorcycle.

Red one would not be that bad... I think I would buy one. At least it's not the 'boring white/black' that everyone has
