Chris Brown showed off his new solid 18k gold Macbook Air recently. When you’re young and dumb this is what you spend your money on. I guess he doesn’t have an accountant or financial adviser. He’ll be broke in 10 years.

well i like it , but he’s gonna be crying when it goes out. solid gold or not , it won’t last forever .
Nice…wonder how much that set him back? But, there are more important things than “an 18K gold” laptop.
@licia – he can always melt it down and make a chain! LOL!!
@ cupcakes- or some gold teeth………..
Does Rhianna know about this purchase? If not Chris may be in for a rude-azz whoopin’!
Did anybody see this mess: I guess he doesn’t have an accountant or financial adviser. He’ll be broke in 10 years

This is coming from someone who posts what Monica pays for bags, shoes & clothes!!! At least Chris’s career is moving at a steady pace (platinum albums & sold out concerts, real publicity & not being talked about only on his bff’s blog) & he’s not payin for his other half’s studio time
The 24-carat gold MacBook Pro, with diamond studded Apple logo only costs $1,500 over the price of the Macbook Pro (or $2,400 over the Pro if you’re going to have the diamond filled Apple logo on the back). That price is added to the original price of the computer.
sandra, let him spend his money on what he wants to spend it on. what about when j-lo spent 12,000.00 on a hermes bag. she may have more loot than him but to each his own. women buy clothes, shoes and purses and men buy electronics.
Chris is yummy
Why make the money if you can’t spend it…Seems like someone just popped open a can of HATERAID!
Smooches!

Mochamommy ..You too the words RIGHT off the tips of my fingers … 400.00 for a pair of flip flops can’t get u to the internet … unless you walking to the library … He can make Money with his computer … some of your other fav celeb’s can’t redeem their purchases … Hell Monica’s Purse the ugly white one .. cost as much as his Puter …
With the Mac being all 18k’d out and diamond studded, does it do anything differently than the original less studded, bling’d out one?
I mean I don’t really see anything wrong with it it’s his money leave the boy alone it’s better than buying purses or shoes that don’t look a dollar over $20 bucks at least this looks like it cost a pretty penty and shoot it’s a laptop he’ll get his moneys worth
Can it still be considered/called “Macbook AIR” if its weighted down with all that gold and diamonds?
Last I checked gold was a heavy metal.
That would defeat the whole purpose of it having the last name “air”.
“Heir”, maybe, but not “air”.
Ya’ feel me?
Gotd@man — can’t a man buy the PC he wants if he can AFFORD IT. It kills me how ppl criticize the things ppl buy with the money THEY have worked so hard for.
oops I meant penny
who cares..it looks ugly.
and my goodness can apple make products that dont leave fingerprint marks all over them…the back of my ipod looks like that and so does my friends iPhone (which im glad i didnt buy)
ok my rant is done…
Sandra do you just say things for reaction? You can’t seriously be that big of a sour puss.
Prynsexxx… Go get ur afternoon coffee!!! LOL

Exactly. Funny Monica story: I was telling some people about what Monica is up to, and they looked at me like, “WHO CARES????” — totally perplexed why I would even mention Monica in 2008. THEN IT HIT ME: Sandra has bamboozled us into believing that Monica is still somewhat relevant when in reality she’s just a percentage more relevant than Tevin Campbell!
AND ..AND … Since Gold is at an All time High on the stock exchange … I’d say he made a pretty sound investment … if he can get all them dang fanga-prints off … lol
Well I work for Apple… Keep on purchasing is all I have to say….
What does monica name have to do with this gold laptop, obviously you’re being entertained by her monica posts.. Ya’ll so funny!
@ #19 Mochamommy:
What I do?
Forget coffee (which I don’t drink btw – darkens your teeth and makes your breath stink – LOL) I need a nap. I’m daydreaming about this dinner I’m going to go home and cook up! Then go and run it off. LOL
Smokie, I am in tears… LMFAO!!!! U need a time out for that one!!! I can say I’m listening to Chris Brown & these white folks know exactly who i’m talkin about (without me havin to mention the big head girl). They’ll start singin “Kiss,Kiss” word for word… I say I’m listening to my girl, Monica & they’re like “Who? Is she your friend?”
I’m like the singer who’s engaged to Rocko.. Again, they look at me like “is she serious? who are these ppl?”
Ten mins later, they come back to my office & ask if she’s the one who had that old song with brandy… I reply with a proud smile, “Yeah, she’s in atlanta watching ‘Big Mama’s House’ on the grass.” I get that awkward, polite white ppl smile & they walk away, still confused
prynsexxx Says: I need a nap.
i’m sorry to jump in your convo but u need a nap….i need one. im staring at this computer screen with my eyes about to roll out of the sockets. i mean, if i blink they will fall out
He worked hard fo his money..he should spend it how ever he wants, I know I would.
@ Mochamommy …I reply with a proud smile, “Yeah, she’s in atlanta watching ‘Big Mama’s House’ on the grass.”

chile them finger prints dont never come off, you can wipe all day and guess what..they back on, lol. but then again u know some girl will buy it back from with the sweat finger prints and all.
How do you know he paid for it. Maybe it was a gift from his boo! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO TUPAC.RIP.
I agree, it’s Chris’ money to spend the way he chooses too. Whether or not he spends it on the 18k gold Macbook Air or something else; he can still end up broke! You have to treat yourself every now and then otherwise your hard work is in vain. It’s sort of like a diet – you have the days when you are strict and then you might have a day where you just eat whatever you want. As far as Monica goes, ya’ll better back up befor you have your comment accounts blocked. I enjoy reading your comments and sure would hate to see you go.

Uh Oh Sandra girl you betta go innnnn hate to say it but they got you! LOL what this man does with his money is not my business as long as my taxe dollars don’t have to cover any of this I don’t care.
Co-sign @ Smokie.
But did it ever occur to you Sandra that Apple may have given him the laptop as a freebie. If the internet circulates with Chris using his gold laptop, Apple just got some advertising out of it.

Yeah I thought about that. But why would Apple give him such an expensive machine? HIM of all people?
He’s no more stupid than all the people you post that spend thousands of dollars on bags, shoes, cars, and hair weave. I mean lets get real. Whatever he spent on that mac book will equate to whatever all those people you post spend on 2 bags or 2 shoes. He’s a boy, so since he doesn’t carry bags and wears normal sneakers, he can do that.
I wanted to say it was ‘wretched excess’, but the truth is -that sh*t is FLY! I’m a pc girl, not Mac – I wonder if I can get an 18k Solid Gold Thinkpad T60 Widescreen?
Shit I’ve wanted that MACbook for a long time. So, I dont see anything wrong with it. At least he isn’t spending his money on a drug habit. Leave the kid alone! Believe me, he isn’t broke.. lol
I want to comment so bad but, I just got my loggin and am not trying to get shut down so fast! LOLOLOLOL…..
*******
@Sandra Yeah I thought about that. But why would Apple give him such an expensive machine? HIM of all people?
*******
Wow, I will say that he has way more star power than some people that we talk about….often…..on this blog.
Smokie: enough said.
Sandra you know Ive already told you that this blog gets me through my work day. You really get the people talking.
LOL. Gtfoh.
I agree with Mochamommy. Chris is making money, like she said and doing concerts and people are seeing him perform-not just here in Atlanta. I like Monica, but if I see her long a** feet one more time, I am gonna scream! Besides, someone should have told Monica not to try and become a rap star, as she did on her last cd. I don’t see anything wrong with him purchasing a laptop with his money-emphasis on HIS! Nonetheless, I doubt if he’ll be broke from buying a computer; something that he can definitely use for business and leisure. What can Monica do with her collection of OVERPRICED shoes and handbags————NOTHING!
errr, is that Kanye Wests manager on the left?
to the girl who said she wanted a macbook for so long, youll get so accustomed to using your mac you wouldnt even want a pc anymore, bad thing is alot of programs outside of CS3 are not mac compatible so make sure when you buy programs for your mac and you’re not buying it out of the apple store to get it compatible with your mac…..
How do you know he purchased it Sandra?!!!
They could have given him the computer for free publicity.
How many little girls and boys see Chris with this 18k computer now want one?!!!
Of course they would give Chris Brown a freebie Sandra. He is young and he has hit songs out right now. Justin is taking a break, Usher is getting his grown man on, you know companies love promote products to young people
And how you gonna say him of all people, when he works hard for his and you constantly promote a rappers baby mama on your blog
