MacBook Air mod

[iDX]

I replaced the aluminium MacBook Air bezel with a MacBook unibody glass lens cover.

See pictures!

Having had one of each as well as a uni-body MBP, I can only ask WHY?!?!?!?

Heavier?

Does it Make it any more heavier with the glass ?

I guess its a matter of taste. At least the nice mba screen remains. It looks pretty cool.

I want the black keyed Wireless Keyboard!!!

one of the main reasons i bought a MBA rev B was because of the screen not being glossy / glass

 

[anim8or]

Where did you find the keys for the wireless keyboard?? Did you fit them yourself??

I can completely see the Air looking like that in the future. Uniformity across the line. That's a mighty impressive mod.

Personally, I think it would be more impressive putting the Air bezel on a MB.

I'm also curious as to the weight. The Air's hinge is reported to have issues on some units and adding the extra display weight I'm sure won't help.

that looks awesome.. bravo!

 

[tsubikiddo]

Bravo *applause*
Good work, I too can totally see this happening further down the line from AAPL

 

[jnc]

you destroyed your MacBook Air... er, w00t?

 

[joelypolly]

very nice

That looks great. Like everyone else is asking how does it affect the weight of the air?

definitely a third party, not modded. look at the return key.
and somehow it lights up?

That looks great!

I didn't even notice the MBA had a different bezel..

 

[MattZani]

I Like it, and im loving that keyboard!

Also, whats wrong with the Enter Key? its a fullsize european version, the best kind.

 

[AreYouAMac]

I like it. Looks better than OEM

What now with your MBA bezel?

You should consider to sell it to a UMB owner as they might like that look.

 

[mhnajjar]

There is no way that Apple would do this since it is so UGLY!


Did I say UGLY? However, Nice work that you did if you like it!

 

[GeekGirl*]

yuck, sold my uni because of it

 

[xparaparafreakx]

And now the rumor mills will use this picture as proof of the Air with black.

I think it's much better than with the grey bezel. I was actually a bit disappointed seeing MBA and MB face to face, because the black bezel looks much better to me.

When it comes to modding I don't think "why" really matters. Awesome job. I'd kind of like to see a black pinstripe around the top of the palmrest...perhaps a TRON logo somewhere?

Nice mod!

 

[efegue]

I want a illuminated wireless keyboard too
Great mod, good job!!

 

[maflynn]

Nice mod, I can't say its not my taste because I have a unibody MBP and love the bezel look
