We know that many of you are searching for a pink Apple Macintosh laptop computer and that there are many sites claiming to provide information on how to get one, but they just tell you long stories forgetting the essential part, which is to tell you exactly where to find them.
Unfortunately, Apple didn't provide colored laptop computers after the special edition of the iBook Clamshell, but after doing some research over the Internet, we found some good solutions to help you create your own pink Apple Macintosh laptop, which is called customization.

First we’ll start with some cool shells that stretch on the laptop, just like those transparent cases for cell phones. This method will give the look of color shades on the aluminum surface of the laptops, and the best models are those from Speck.
Speck’s SeeThru hard plastic pink shells for Macbooks are of high quality and offer access to all the ports, as well as non-slip rubber feet. They protect the laptop from dirt, dust and spills, and are very easy to clean, covering the system only on the exterior.



After using one of these enough time to be sure you’ll still love pink in the future, you can go to the next level of customization and browse through the ColorWare web pages in search for a pink Apple Macintosh laptop design. There you can choose from 3 pink tones – Cotton Candy, Romance, which is paler, and Blush - the most elegant pink tone.



By using a metallic or solid finish for the color and spending $450, your pink Apple Macintosh laptop gets a scratch-resistant layer on the exterior and on the interior part, excepting the touchpad and the keyboard surface, which will remain white. You can combine pink with other colors for specific parts of the system as well.

Another solution for having a pink Apple Macintosh laptop is to apply skins, and I’d like to recommend you to try the designer skins from GelaSkins. You’ll spend $29.95 for a unique design like Just Cause You Feel It by Steven Daily, or Shore by Lawrence Yang, and you’ll get a skin with a pink background and impressive drawings. All their skins are removable and use the 3M Technology to be easy applicable on the laptop’s surface, leaving no residue after removal. The material they are made of is scratch-resistant, with an anti- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultraviolet UV coating.



You can take a look also at DecalGirl store with even more designs having pink as the predominant color.
A more expensive alternative is to apply genuine pink Swarovski Crystals on the laptop, and you can do this at CrystalIcing. The firm offers only Swarovski Elements crystals in different colors and it would cost you about $2,000 for one laptop.




Your final decision will depend on the financial resources, taste and, of course, the need to have a permanent makeover or just something temporary for your pink Apple Macintosh laptop.

The story behind the new 13.3-inch Apple laptops is long and full of innovative ideas covering not only design aspects but also the number of new unique functionalities, placed carefully together to create a powerful mobile system with environmentally-friendly construction.

Browsing through the specifications list we discover a new element called “the unibody enclosure”. This refers at the fact that the new Apple MacBook is encased in a single piece of aluminum created with absolute precision from a solid block of aluminum, using a process encountered in the aerospace industry.

It was complicate to do it, but the result seems impressive. The new Apple laptops come in a thinner and lighter form factor with a stylish metal finish, as well as durable construction. The measure 0.95 x 12.78 x 8.94 inches at 4.5 pounds.
To keep the laptop thin and at the same time provide the best viewing experience, Apple decided to use LED backlight. This technology enables high brightness, thinner construction and eliminates metal frames that sometimes could distract the user from the images on screen.



Apple added the new large MacBook trackpad model with multi-touch support for tracking, clicking in all directions, and gestures such as swipe, pinch, rotate, and 4-finger swipe. The sensitivity level was carefully chosen by the engineers, as well as the audio feedback for clicks and friction over the glass surface with smooth finish.

Many internal components in the new Apple laptops were redesigned, such as the new logic board, the chipset, integrated graphics processor, and so on. For example, now you have the NVIDIA GeForce 9400M card that provides up to 5 times the graphics performance of the previous MacBooks, but with the same battery life.



About the green aspect of the new MacBook models we can tell you that they don't have mercury and arsenic in the display, thanks to the LED backlight technology, which requires 30% less power compared to the standard CCFL displays with backlight.
In addition, Apple removed all bromine and chlorine from the manufacturing, plus it reduced the packaging size with 41%. Almost all components in the new Apple laptops are recyclable, according to the company.



Moving to the keyboard, we find again the backlight feature for comfortable typing in low light environments.

Inside there are a 320GB hard drive, an optional 128GB Solid State Drive with no moving parts, a fast DVD burner, 2 USB ports, one Mini DisplayPort for external displays, the MagSafe power port with safety properties, Kensington lock slot, a 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 1066MHz DDR3 fast memory, 802.11n wireless support for high-speed transfers, 5 hours battery life, Bluetooth, compatibility with the optional Apple Wireless Keyboard and wireless Mighty Mouse, the iSight web camera foe video conferences, up to 4GB system memory, built-in stereo speakers, and an omnidirectional microphone.



The new Apple laptops have Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard operating system pre-installed with lots of useful and cool applications, as well as the iLife ’08 equipped with iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie, iDVD, iWeb, and GarageBand.

You have a few configuration options to choose from, with prices ranging between $999 and $1,599.

Good news for MacBook Air fans! (and for me) According to AppleInsider, the price for a brand new MacBook Air with Solid State Drive got cut off with $500. So as you can see in the picture prepared by the editors at AppleInsider, the price dropped from $3,098 to $2,598 in just a month.

If you haven’t noticed yet, the price for NAND Flash memories is getting lower and the 1.6GHz model with SSD drive is available now at $2,398, which is a significant difference compared to the initial cost. This happened after Apple reduced the price for the 1.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor to $200, and the drop off the 64GB SSD drive price to $599 from $999.



At this moment, the other version of the MacBook Air with Intel Core 2 Duo processor clocked at 1.6GHz, 2GB memory, 80GB PATA hard drive at4 4200 rpm, Bluetooth 2.1+EDR, and Wi-Fi module, costs $1,799. The PATA hard drive, also known as Advanced Technology Attachment with Packet Interface, is the original ATA interface that connects hard disks, solid state disks and CD-ROM drives inside computers. PATA allows for parallel connectivity with cable lengths of up to 18 inches, but after SATA standard came out it conquered the market even if PATA was the most popular interface. Serial Advanced Technology Attachment allows for faster data transfers, supporting hot-swapping (replacing devices during operation), thinner cables for more efficient cooling, and improved data integrity checks.

It is not a disadvantage for the MacBook Air users, but the $2,598-model adds faster processing speeds, while both configurations sport a 13.3-inch glossy widescreen LED display with a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels, optimized for best viewing in low light conditions, 2GB memory, and the Intel GMA X3100 graphics processor with 144MB of DDR2 SDRAM shared memory.

The world’s thinnest laptop measures 0.16 to 0.76 x 12.8 x 8.94 inches at a weight of 1.36 Kg.

If we got used to decorate all our electronic devices with Swarovski crystals why not to try it with MacBook Air too?
Don’t worry, it will still remain the world’s thinnest notebook; guys from
Crystal Icing did it and you can see the result in the picture, while the second image is of a standard laptop available at $2,000, but I liked its look and wanted to show it to you.

For the MacBook Air here were used 1/2 pound of colored crystals and the difference between its original thickness and the actual one is of just 1/9 part of an inch so it’s not a big deal.

On this cool website you can arrange the tiny precious stones and you like and form some impressive image. Of course, you will only have to choose what the final result would look like and the Crystal Icing team will send it to you wherever you live.
Since 2005 they are decorating a diversity of electronics using only 100% Genuine Swarovski Crystals.
You may check the models for yourselves.

Maybe there is no relationship between the air and the black color.
The clean air has to be associated with white or no color but the black MacBook Air looks too cool to not be mentioned on LaptopsArena doesn’t it?

But ColorWare has other colors for it too, like green, blue, pink and red and you can customize it as you like.

You can choose which parts to get colored, from screen back, monitor frame, keypad panel, bottom, logo or trackpad button, and it is not only about the aspect but also about the protective colored layer which adds a glossy, scratch resistant finish that won’t fade or decolorize during normal use.

To make your MacBook Air metallic black you have to pay a price of $500, which means cheap if compared with the system’s cost.
