Actually, you can get a new pink Macbook. Or a green one. Or a purple one. It is not through Apple - a company purchases new Macbooks, professionally repaints them, and warranties them themselves. The paint they use is similar to car paint, and the process is intense - they paint it, cure it with UV light, protect it with a topcoat twice so it doesn't scratch... it's pretty hardcore.
All this hardcore painting adds $650 to the price of the computer. However, if you wanted, you could buy a Macbook yourself (maybe with a student discount?) and then send it to them. They will paint it for $450 instead. This will, however, make your warranty situation more complicated - read their support page for more information.
They have more than one pink color, as well - personally, I like "Blush" - a metallic pink, better than "Cotton Candy," a true baby pink. Plus, there's always "Fusion" if you prefer a more fuscia color. That's the tough part , picking the color.
Other options to make your Macbook pink are skins - sticker based decals that apply to your computer and can be removed (but not reused) at any time. They only cover the top of the computer, but still, they're quite pretty. About $20 for a standard skin or $25 for a custom skin also make them MUCH more affordable, and they won't void your warranty. They also come in designs, not just solid colors. In the link section, decalgirl is the most well-known, but skynmobile makes some blinged-out skins and upscale ones, and schtickers lets you make your own with your own pictures and stuff.
Last, but not least, and a better option I feel than sticker skins, is a new product by Speck called "SeeThru" - it does come in pink. It is a hard, clear, colored plastic case that has a top and a bottom. It protects your laptop a bit and makes it pink. It does not cover the keyboard side of the computer, only the outside.
The Mac laptops are all wireless in 3 ways - Bluetooth (to work with your cellphone), Airport (to work with wireless internet), and IrDa (Infrared - to work with a remote control). This applies whether it's white or pink.
The best price on a white, new Apple laptop would be if you were a student or teacher - you can get a discount from Apple's online store (apple.com/education) or their retail locations if you have a student ID. It's not a big discount, but it is a discount. Otherwise, all of Apple's products are the same price regardless of where you buy them. They have "fixed" pricing.
Send us pictures of your pink Macbook when you get it!

Hi I feel the same I love writing music, I'd love a Mac but don't have the money. Plus my laptop broke, but I got a friend to fix it for free and the PC alternative to Garage Band and iMovie: -Audacity (Free Download) -Windows Movie Maker (Pre-Installed on XP and Vista Basic, Home Premium and Ultimate) Or you could buy some other software. Hope this helped.

Well Just To Let You Know All Laptops Are Have Wireless Cards (Theres Are Actully Better Then The Ones In Microsoft PC's) They Have For 5 Years. And You Can't Buy A Pink Apple Laptop Direct From Apple, You Would Have To Get One From A Designer And It's Gonna Cost 3,000$ For The Lower End MacBook. Yes You Can Get A White MacBook Direct From Apple For 1099$ But If You Want To Be Stupid You Can Buy It From eBay For Like 800$ (YOU ARE A RETARD IF YOU BUY A COMPUTER FROM EBAY!!!) The Website Is Posted Below. Good Luck, GO APPLE!

Who said there is not a Pink Apple laptop? Yet they claimed to be top contributors. Of course there is a pink apple laptop. All you need to do is purchase any of apple laptops then go to Ebay.com and purchase skims for it, whether pink or white, black, blue, etc.
