Workstation.jpgIf you just received your stimulus check (or if you’re just plain loaded) and looking for a way to blow some cash, check out the Workstation from Munk Bogballe. It’s a souped up 2.4GHz MacBook Core 2 Duo with 4GB of RAM. No, not souped up inside, but outside. The Workstation’s casing is made of anodized aluminum; the underside is lined with European aniline leather. It even comes with a special leather bag. And to top it off, the Workstation comes pre-installed with Windows XP. All this for the low price of £3,500, or $6,700.

And to make you not feel like a bougie jerk — for every Workstation you buy, Munk Bogballe will sponsor the production and delivery of one XO laptop computer for the One Laptop per Child organization. I’m sold; I’ll take 15. Let me just polish my diamond-studded shoes and clean my trusty monocle before I head to the bank. I’m changing the world — one $6,700 MacBook at a time.

You know what I’ve always wanted? An iPod classic protected with unicorn skin. Get on that, Munk Bogballe.
