Laser etched MacBook Pro

Amazing! Talk about taking laser etching and logos to the extreme. This MacBook Pro is fully loaded thanks to the laser etched sponsors on the cover. Check out the rest of the details on the story here [via]. The original post which prompted the laser etching deal can be read in full glory here.

Sponsorship for automobiles is nothing new. I’m glad to see someone managed to attain their machine using sponsors laser engraved on the cover of a laptop.

    Paid sponsorship for autos has been around for consumers for awhile too.

    basically you get a free car, if you can stand daily-driving a toyota echo that’s enshrouded in a red bull advertisement, or somesuch.

    if that option were available for a laptop…if it were wrapped in a sponsors badging. I’d take a free macbook, thinkpad, pavilion, whatever. hey, free laptop!

    s0crates82, would you drive a Bugatti Veyron wrapped in bright pink with obnoxious Tampon adverts slapped from bumper to bumper?

    if i could afford the gas, insurance, and upkeep?

    …yes I would. In a heartbeat.

    My masculinity is not defined by my car.

    Derek: would you pass up the pure driving pleasure of the fastest consumer-available vehicle on the planet because of it’s feminine exterior?

    Hmm, I’d rather have the Koenigsegg CCX. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koenigsegg_CCX

    I suppose no one would sponsor a new desktop machine for ME…

    I don’t think there would be much incentive for sponsors to chip in on a desktop machine supported in the same manner as the MBP above. At least in the case of the MBP, advertiser exposure is successful each time this machine is opened at a coffee shop, hotspot, library, school, etc.

    Derek is right, the whole idea behind the sponsorship is being SEEN.

    I’m sure if there were a way to get one of these, via advertisers, there’d be a clause in the acquisition that required you to visit a public place with your computer for at least four hours a week.
