The coolest Mac user in Berlin

coolest-macuser-berlin-20081002.jpg

This guy was photographed by Flickr user Rodrigo Galindez in a Berlin coffee shop.

On close inspection, it looks like he’s glued some kind of laminate on to the lid of his MacBook Pro, and made a good job of neatening the edges and the corners. He gets extra points for marrying the wood effect with the sleek metal of the computer and the horizontal stripes of the classic Apple logo, and with a purple jacket. Fantastic.

Mysterious Berlin Mac user: who are you? Do you have any other decorated computers?

    Nice work!! I love it.

    Coolest? Inventive in terms of what he did with his Mac, but frankly I think he’s made his MBP distinctly cheesy looking. With clothing sense like that the bloke looks like a nutter, but each to their own, I suppose…

    If this is the coolest Mac user in Berlin, then I fear Apple’s stock is about to hit a new low.

    Dude, haven’t you seen Gelaskins? Decorated MBP’s are no rare beast in the wild…

    Coolest? Dude, he put paneling on his MacBook. Looks like something straight out of a 1980′s family room or den.

    And I’m not even going to get started about the jacket.

    It’s always great fun to hear Americans ridicule European fashion. We’re a few years ahead of you, but trust me: this guy has got it all figured out.

    Revisit to this post in a few years when you catch up! ;)

    Guess what kind of laminate he glued on.
    Take another look. It’s his hair.
