The Apple Macbook gets fat and charitable, all courtesy Munk Bogballe

Posted By: Jayprashanth Mohanram | May 17 2008

The oh-so-sleek and sexy Apple MacBook has got some fattening treatment to end up looking a fat yet chic looking brick. If you are wondering how a MacBook can get fatter and still look chic and sexy, it can if it gets a whole load of leather covering up it's surfaces. Munk Bogballe, a European electronic customization firm has given the MacBook's bottom the finest available European aniline leather. So you get a Macbook that has a aluminium top with a nice leather bottom. Hardware inside this MacBook consists of a 2.4Ghz processor, a four gig RAM and storage is handled by a one sixty GB hard drive. This Macbook runs a Windows XP operating system and comes loaded with an Microsoft Office suite. Though all this customizing makes the MacBook heavier by a considerable two and a quarter pounds, the MacBook now manages to look like a notebook fit for the super rich. Talking about super rich, if you want one of these, you need to spend a whopping $6800. That makes this MacBook terribly overpriced but then, a heartening fact is that a part of the proceeds will be used for funding the OLPC project.
