Not that company, but same concept. Aluminum scratches to easy to leave it bare.

Cool. I've got the same design, but without the logo cutout.

I left my last macbook pro bare, and scuffed it all up. Not really a big deal to me, but carbon fiber looked cool, and it has the added benefit. Plus, it is on the inside as well, so it protects against scuffs from my watch.

I absolutely love mine

It's just an Air but next time I'll get a Pro.

It does everything I need to and it never fails me like my PC laptops did

$3100?! That's a lotta mods...

I like building my own, which means PC. The problem is I can't build a laptop (yet), so I have to depend on prebuilt stuff if I want one. Right now I don't, and I don't need it since all my designs are done on my home PC and carried with me either via USB or on my phone--though USB is a lot easier to deal with, since I have an iphone. It's getting to the point though that I'm going to need my design suite with me since some of the clients for whom I work are idiots and can't decide what the hell they want done and are spending gov't money, which means the person in charge of spending said money changes every **** month, and naturally their disposition toward why they're spending it does as well. God help me if the project lead is another woman at the wrong time of the month--again.

If and when I have to go with a PC, I also like building. Our CAD computers at work were built by yours truly, but, for the needs I need my laptop for, OS X just works extremely well.

What kind of design software do you use?
