Mac madhouse ColorWare recently revealed a new version of the MacBook Pro that takes a more cloak-and-dagger approach to Apple’s bright and cheery 2009 MacBook Pros. The Custom Stealth uses the company’s own Sof*Touch coating to black out the aluminum in favor of a soft “zero gloss” finish from heel to toe. Even the screen has been modded for covert computing with a matte screen to produce less glare.

Short of the exterior specs, it’s still the MacBook Pro you know and love, with 15-inch widescreen display, 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 8GB of DDR3 RAM, a 256GB solid-state drive, and of course, a backlit keyboard.

But don’t invest in that matching black messenger bag just yet. ColorWare will produce only 10 of these lovely black beauties, and each one’s going for a cool $6,000. More information and ordering information for those who would care to roll the dice on one can be found at Colorware.

The new MacBook Air has got a small, but significant keyboard update

M4 MacBook Air

This week, Apple introduced three new products: a fresh MacBook Air, iPad Air, and iPad. One thing each of these devices has in common is that they basically look the same as the models they are replacing—except for one tiny detail on the new MacBook.

As iCulture’s noted first, the new laptop addresses a design flaw that Apple has had for the past 26 years. Since the launch of the PowerBook G3 ‘Lombard’ in 1999, the mute key on every Apple laptop has featured a speaker icon. However, this design does not clearly indicate that the button can both mute and unmute the computer’s audio. With the introduction of the new MacBook Air, the keyboard now displays a speaker icon with a strike-through, clearly signaling its full function. For those keeping score at home, the button in question is the F10 key.

Honor MagicBook Pro 14 beats the new MacBook Air in one striking way

The lid of the Honor MagicBook Pro 14 in green

Although its name may suggest otherwise, Mobile World Congress (MWC) is not just a show for mobile devices. The business side touches every facet of the consumer technology industry, and many of the biggest companies unveil new products for the European and wider global markets.

The latest edition — MWC Barcelona 2025 — did oversee a return to form, with more mobile devices launched than in recent years, but one of the non-mobile devices that stood out for me was the Honor MagicBook Pro 14.
