Swarovski Crystal Macbook Air

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.

MacBook Air in Black

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.

Apple unveils its latest innovation

Apple has already made waves with its iPod, iPhone and trendy desktop computers, but last night the company threw out a new challenge to its competitors, the world's thinnest laptop.

The secretive Silicon Valley company confirmed the launch of the £1,199 Macbook Air, which measures just three-quarters of an inch (2cm) deep - thin enough to fit inside an envelope.

In his Macworld Expo keynote speech, speculation over which has been rife for weeks, chief executive Steve Jobs said Apple would try to take control of the video industry with movie rentals and a revamped Apple TV to stream films direct to television screens.

Until now iTunes customers have been able to buy movies outright, a business which has not been as successful as Apple's entry into music. Apple TV, which allows video to be streamed from a computer to a television screen, has struggled to make an impact. But Jobs predicted that a relaunch of the device would mark a significant shift in the film industry.

"On iTunes we've sold 125m TV shows, and we've sold 7m movies - it's more than everyone else put together, but it didn't meet our expectations," Jobs said. "I think we've got it right this time.

"We've all tried to figure out how to get movies over the internet and on to the TV - but we've all missed, no one has succeeded yet.

"We tried with Apple TV, but it's not what people wanted. So we're back with Apple TV take two - no computer is required. You can rent movies directly on your widescreen TV and you can rent them at DVD quality or you can rent then at high definition quality."

Costing $229 (£116), the system hooks into the company's plans to offer films to rent over the internet through its iTunes store, also confirmed yesterday. The company said it would join film studios including 20th Century Fox and Sony to allow iTunes users to stream movies direct to their computer or TV for a one-off payment of between $3 and $5.

The system will have 1,000 new titles and back catalogue films available by the end of February. It will start immediately in the US and in other territories later this year. "We're dying to get this international as well," Jobs said.

Similar in concept to the the BBC's iPlayer and Channel 4's on-demand service, Apple's systems will make downloads usable on iPods and iPhones as well as television sets.
