Make Your Own Transparent iBook

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the working-with-what-you-got dept.

Blackstealth sent in linkage to an attractive and clever mod for the Apple iBook. The TronBook takes the idea of a transparent iBook and takes it a few steps further. I wish we'd see more laptop mods of this quality.

    Please bring back Quickies and please put all case mod stories under them.

    Anybody else miss Quickies? What happened to them?

    In the end, it comes down to economics. Every time Apple comes up with something interesting, there's a whole group of people who jump all over them for their prices being too high. If they had more choices, they'd be ordering parts in even smaller numbers and the prices would be even higher. They need to walk a fine line between having too many choices and being boring. I think Steve would rather die than be boring.

    Yep, Apple should at least ship iBooks with different colours-choices if not transparent, sort of like the "old" iMac line.. mmm, Pink iBook..
