See the MacBook Earth, Water and Fire
You've seen the MacBook Air — are you ready for the MacBook Earth, Water and Fire? We weren't either, but then we got our hands on these images of a new generation of notebooks. Ever wanted your computer to be recyclable, blazing fast (literally), or poured out of a bottle? If you answered "yes" to any of those, there's now a MacBook for you. No word on prices or release dates, but click Continue for pictures and descriptions of each.
MacBook Earth: Greenest laptop ever. The MacBook Earth has no electrical cord — save the planet with this wind- and solar-powered notebook. The phosphorescent screen consumes mere nanowatts, and the fireflies it attracts will impress your friends. Best of all, the chassis is a durable clay, making it 100% biodegradable. Bury the MacBook Earth when it’s time to upgrade. Your garden will thank you.
MacBook Water: You don't turn on the MacBook Water — you pour it on. Just unscrew the carrying case and splash the iFluid onto any handy flat surface… instant mobile computing. The iFluid immediately takes the shape of a keyboard and monitor, with less boot time than a cellphone. When it's time to pack up, simply wipe up your notebook with the included sponge and wring back into the case. Warning: Storing the MacBook Water at temperatures below 0°C will void the warranty.
MacBook Fire: The processing speed of the MacBook Fire is hellishly fast. The chips are so powerful, in fact, that the insides glow, eliminating the need for a keyboard backlight. But don't worry — the casing's heat-resistant material ensures you never have a meltdown, and the monitor is made of durable welding glass. When things get too hot to handle, just slip on the supplied asbestos gloves. Consider the tan you get a bonus.

By Dan at 6:05 AM ON 01/31/08
Shouldn't it be Earth, Wind & Fire?
Still Funny
Jimbob you fanboi :¬p
By Dan sucks at 6:15 AM ON 01/31/08

By FANG at 6:22 AM ON 01/31/08
I second JIMBOB's comment.

Hahahah, awesome.

Captain Planet anyone?

Where's heart? :-(

Faaaake!!! ;-)
(Trolling 2 next site...)

@DAN" Shouldn't it be Earth, Wind & Fire?"
So the elements are Earth, fire; _air_ and wind?

By Dale at 7:53 AM ON 01/31/08
MACs suck. Seriously they do. Wouldn't mind the Fire one so I can see it melt and burn infront of me so I can laugh. Muahahaaha!!
By BlueChvalry at 8:08 AM ON 01/31/08
Mac-cha-cha-cha-chia!
By IDIOTS at 8:22 AM ON 01/31/08
@JOHNNY, Earth, Wind & Fire is an old musical band. Dan wasn't actually suggesting all of those to be the true elements. And even with his comment, couldn't the elements still be Earth, fire;_water_ and wind?
@Patrick, Were you born stupid or did you have a traumatic experience in your early years causing you to lose brain functionality. Of course it's fake, it's Jooooke!!!
.... idiots
By God! - Jimbo slept with your mum at 8:23 AM ON 01/31/08
Great pics, i'd actually quite like the MacBook Earth :)
By Ember at 8:46 AM ON 01/31/08
Haha, this is great. Would be funny if we actually had these available. Nice photoshop work though,
By Captain Planet at 9:22 AM ON 01/31/08
No, no, no. It's Earth... Fire... Wind... Water... Heart. Go me!
By chiadi at 9:28 AM ON 01/31/08
Worst of all... simply not funny.
By iPeeFreely at 9:28 AM ON 01/31/08
Erm,
what was the point of this article?
Get a life and try and post something real as opposed to jumping on the Apple bandwagon to try and hype your lame pointless site
By Mike at 9:31 AM ON 01/31/08
I hate this.
By cgul at 9:48 AM ON 01/31/08
I think viewing this article made my safari feel snappier!
By daniel at 9:55 AM ON 01/31/08
just awful.
like it was written by a middle school student.
By Marky at 10:08 AM ON 01/31/08
This is yet another attempt of Apple to "look good" makes no difference to people who want performance.
By Jasper at 10:10 AM ON 01/31/08
I'd rather have the MacBook Earth than the MacBook Air, even if I had to water / fertilize it.
By abd at 10:21 AM ON 01/31/08
!
By pickupjojo at 12:04 PM ON 01/31/08
I want the MacBook Earth. :p
By Ogynche at 1:27 PM ON 01/31/08
Cool design, but .. stupid idea :)
By AGRIN at 2:47 PM ON 01/31/08
You know, it wouldn't be that hard to mod a Mac to look like the Earth one. Some fake grass, some brown paint.. voila. And unlike the people who comment on articles, anyone who actually saw it would probably think it's either cool or yet-another-crazy-thing-mac-people-do.
By A.TROLL at 2:52 PM ON 01/31/08
this really was a waste of time. I feel bad for the guy who spent 3 whole minutes on it.
By Nim Chimpsky at 4:30 PM ON 01/31/08
Wow. Thanks for some of the comments guys!
I guess it is true: Anonymity + Public forum = Jackass.
By Bella at 6:39 PM ON 01/31/08
I think it was pretty clever, and yeah the art work was great, and i would also like the earth one but then, the water one was kinda neat-o! lol whats with you people where is your sense of fun? and what would you think if they were to come out with all 3 in the next few years?..hmmm?
calm down, ease up, relax, and have a lil fun.
wp:)
By Roger at 7:44 PM ON 01/31/08
These look great ideas. Wow how did they get the water one to work. When are they launching?
By Deal at 12:18 AM ON 02/01/08
Wow, some people just can't take a joke. It seems that there are a whole lot of very pathetic people out there that spend all of their time just masturbating to internet porn and finding any forum they can to bash Apple. Sad, really. Those poor bastards probably haven't seen the sun, breathed fresh air, or eaten anything not microwaved for a very long time, let alone ever known the touch of a living breathing woman. Just a thought - if you're so anti-Apple, you may want to consider avoiding websites that are clearly about Apple products. It'll make all of us, Apple fans and those who just like a little creativity and fun in our otherwise dull day, much happier. Thank you!
By TC at 1:24 AM ON 02/01/08
I think this is really creative. The Earth, Water, and Fire theme's bring up a lot of ideas about the environment. I'm not a Mac person but I enjoy seeing the leap in technology for the new Air.
In response to "ipeefreely." Their idea's certainly got you here didn't it? Why do you people post negative unproductive comments? If it's such a waste to be on this page then don't waste any more of your precious time by posting a comment about it. Yes I know... free speech and blah blah blah. You're the one looking like a moron.
By Chaosprojects.com at 6:10 AM ON 02/01/08
Love it... Nicely done
By Sogman at 6:49 AM ON 02/01/08
So derivative, not at all clever. I'm actually quite angry after coming to this page.
By NetOutremer at 8:03 AM ON 02/01/08
LOL Excellent
By flicker at 1:14 AM ON 02/02/08
AHAHAHAHA. I want the water. It'd need a tray thing, but in all reality they could make it happen! kind of.
but really
that's be the coolest to me.
By Diseño web | ProfesionalNet at 5:09 PM ON 02/03/08
Muy bueno! muy original!! felicidades!

By Fanboys are so funny! at 7:25 PM ON 02/03/08
What would happen if you spilled the Macbook Water on the Macbook Earth? Would you have a dual processor Macbook? Or maybe a Macbook Mud?
By Ursapater at 2:42 AM ON 02/04/08
Jeez, I was amazed that so many posters were so negative. Chill out people, it's a joke. Though I think the concept behind the 'Water' would be too cool. I liked the article.
By xtirpata at 4:59 PM ON 02/04/08
Does the grass on the MacBook Earth need watering? Do you need to buy clippers or does it come with an iMower?
By MM1E at 7:33 PM ON 02/04/08
I already have a MacBook Fire....
By BOK at 8:55 PM ON 02/04/08
to the people who find this worthless, IF you dont appreciate Apple or CREATIVITY, THEN F. OFF! THE WORLD IS FULL OF PEOPLE LIKE YOU WHO SHOOT DOWN IDEAS! GO BACK TO YOUR OFFICE CUBICLES AND TO YOUR MUNDANE JOBS AND LIFE!
By Stupid Macs at 10:02 PM ON 02/04/08
Makes are such a waste of money.. Just for people who like to act flashy and trendy..Stupid non logical functioning machines.. waste of space!
By mac at 7:24 AM ON 02/09/08
^ur stupid. not the macs. hahaha! and the people who are negative, get a life! do something else.
btw, cool post.
By FNugget at 10:50 AM ON 02/09/08

Then you can combine them all.
Earth, Wind, Water, Fire, Heart. By your powers combined....

The MacBook Earth cracked me up!
By David Gonzales at 11:15 AM ON 07/20/08
Darn, I knew I should've patented this idea.
By job hobber at 11:27 PM ON 09/26/08
wow.......... the fire would melt it, the water would electricute you to death and well, who needs a dirty comeputer...... no one is ever gonna pay any attention to you
By Vetmarine at 9:18 PM ON 10/11/08
If any problems come email to let me know what is. Ok
By dfgbnnnm at 5:26 PM ON 04/28/09

By DONTDISS THEARTICLE at 8:12 PM ON 06/09/09
if you people think this idea is so bad why did you even bother reading it and then commenting on it?!?!?! I think that this would be an amazing idea i would buy the macbook earth
By RM at 8:08 PM ON 06/17/09
Why are the stupidest concept electronics always based on fake Macs?
By ov3rcl0ck at 1:52 AM ON 06/21/09
Is there a Crack Pipe macbook, because it sounds like you own it.
By Merple at 2:37 AM ON 07/05/09
Meh.. interesting pics, but mac's are awful in any form.
By TC;-) at 5:40 PM ON 09/07/09
This is really funny.
Some might think it's crap, but I think it's an ironic sign of the times.
I almost believed it. That's how crazy it's got.
Then again, I reckon a new form of energy to run laptops would be good. Less electricity, less batteries and Nuking!
Ha! how about water powered!.....
just put the plug in to a bucket of water and voila!
You have the MacBook Electro.... an electrifying experience!.....
By dan at 12:38 AM ON 10/13/09
This isn't nearly as funny as the all new FLEETWOOD MACBOOK at Pophangover:
