It's an ad for one of those firms that makes you sign up for fifteen different special offers (credit reports, magazine subscriptions, home security systems, etc.) and supposedly gives you a big prize after completing them. They're all over Facebook. The offer is a scam, and the prize is bogus. Don't give it any attention more than you already have.

You wouldn't even guess how many people come up to me when I am on my mac and ask me about the "NEW COLORS" for the macbooks...

As posted, ads like this can be found on facebook and give people he idea you can get a pink macbook!

Even my sister said she wanted a PURPLE macbook...!!!!

anyone here actually own a colorware? is it a quality job? looks great?

I have seen a number of their phones in person and seen pics and forum posts of many more. I have never seen such unanimous praise for a company before. They do tremendous work.

For the persona saying it is just a paint job, well so it the paint on your car. Colorware is at the same level.

The thing with colorware is that cool as they appear(I've not seen an actual colorware'd unit(are there any in the U.K.?))they are basically a paint job are they not?

You could describe the roof of the sistine chapel as "just a paint job". What's your actual point?

Yea, well I didn't have to pay extra for the paint. It's included in the purchase of a car. Colorware adds ontop of the original purchase.

Its a colorware ive considered getting the cherry red just dont want to lose the warrenty!

So it voids the warranty to have your MBA colored? Man, I'm gonna have to save up some coin over the next 11 months to get this done when my warrenty runs out. Hmmm...maybe ill take some of the money I was gonna use towards getting the protection plan to extend my warranty. Screw the warranty....that black MBA is bada**.
