The only words that could leave my mouth when I saw this bad boy was wow followed by yet another wow! Apple never one to be stylistically challenged have launched what we here at Splash would call the P Diddy of laptops - stylish, sleek and oh so over the top that makes it so fabulous.

Unlike other techie gadgets this is completely customised to your taste - you bring your lap top in and they bling it out by adding gold plating and a diamond-studded logo. Oregon-based Computer Choppers says the full makeover will cost up to $1,500 USD for the gold casing, plus an additional $2,400 USD for the diamond Apple symbol.

A spokesman said: “Our goal is to offer a wide range of customizing for these laptops so each and every one that leaves our shop is unique. We’re not into mass production.” The machine is cased in gold, while each key is re-engraved. The process takes up to six weeks to complete.”

At the moment this service is only available in the US.
