Even encased in gold, random shutdowns are annoying. Perhaps more so.

Well gold-plate your MacBook Pro, of course! <A href="http://www.computer-choppers.com/">Computer Choppers</A> has worked up a one-off example MacBook Pro, and will be offering the service commercially in the near future. In addition to gold-plating the aluminum casing they also paint match the keyboard and trackpad as well as re-engrave the keyboard letters. And if that's not special enough you can even replace the Apple with "<FONT face="Arial"><DIV>your logo in           diamonds."</DIV></FONT></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.tuaw.com/2007/10/01/golden-macbook-pro/"><FONT face="Arial">Of course all of this will cost a pretty penny: $1200-$1500, "</FONT><FONT face="Arial"><DIV>depending on current gold price" for the gold-plating alone. But with everybody and his brother getting a Mac portable these days, I figure that's a small price to pay for having the most blinged out Mac money can buy.
