How much does it cost to get a MacBook that looks like a ThinkPad?

Colorware Stealth MacBook Pro

The answer is $5,999. Electronics painting & modification crew Colorware has just announced their limited edition, “Stealth black” Apple MacBook Pro, which is strangely reminiscent of a ThinkPad.

Matte black paint. Soft-touch finish. Matte display. You can have a Apple ThinkPad MacBook Pro with all of these glorious features, as well as top of the line specs, for only $5,999. But you better hurry, as Colorware is only producing 10 of these machines.

In other news, Lenovo will sell you a PC with matte black paint, a soft-touch finish, and a matte display starting at $1,648 after coupon. If you can deal with a slightly less soft-touch finish, you can have one for much cheaper. Oh, and you can put OS X on it if you really want.

It is also worth noting that this company used to offer ThinkPads in various colors, but seems to only be catering to the Apple crowd now. Uh-huh.

  1. lets see..
    $6000 for a black macbook with OS/X or $1500 for a real thinkpad that is not a, well, “black box” but is easily configuerable and a hacked version of OS/X or even linux..

    the answer seems clear to me..
