The Steve Jobs 'Tribute [MacBook Pro](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-apple-macbook-pro)' celebrates the life and success of the deceased icon. Jobs' death has been met with untold sadness in the tech world, and this ode to his lifetime of accomplishments adds to his legacy.

The Tribute [MacBook Pros](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-belkin) are incredibly exclusive. Only three are being produced, adding a new sense to the term limited edition. Jobs' signature "You can change things" phrase is laser etched on the laptop, commemorating the moving words that are now repeated in pop cultural references to the Apple brand.

The Tribute proceeds will be divided in two with donations made to the Get It Done charity and to an educational [iPhone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pad-quill) application project, choices that Jobs would certainly have approved of.
