Apple wants its 3G MacBook prototype back
Bidding on Ebay reached $70,000 before being pulled down for a unique prototype Apple Mac laptop computer with built-in 3G technology complete with a SIM card and antenna. A North Carolina man claims he purchased it off of Craigslist with the intent of getting the machine working again but soon found out he got more than he was expecting. Apple got wind of the device after the man brought the computer to an Apple Genius Bar to get technical support who subsequently denied service since it didn’t appear to be an authentic apple product.
Three weeks ago, photos of the device emerged in an eBay listing by Carl Frega, a North Carolina resident who had purchased the machine from someone on Craigslist for parts to fuel his repair business. Upon opening it up, he discovered that the machine was unlike any Apple had ever released to the public.
