...the white look has been done to death.
I agree. My white iMac doesn't look as sharp as the new alu iMac. I think the alu look gives the products a very new-age industrial look which all look amazing.
I'm sold on the Alu look for the iMac, but the iPods definitely look better in white. I may be biased on the iPod because the white is what I have but I've only had the Alu iMac for a couple days and I've never liked the white look. Maybe it's TOO much white...
this is a joke, right? Apple's trying to become a greener, more sustainable company. White plastic requires the use of petroleum fuels (oil... the stuff gas is made from) to make and has little recycling value. Aluminum is stronger, sexier and its value is constantly increasing. Maybe you'll eventually get some aluminum painted white.
Check out what this guy said below:
Jobs' plan was to slowly get away from using plastic in Apple products. Plastic is much harder to recycle than Aluminum. This is the biggest reason behind the plethora of Alu products out nowadays. I don't think we will be seeing a surge of white Apple-esque products coming back anytime soon...
Personally, I think the white iMac is the worst iMac design. The current design is delicious.
Nah, I can see the white macbook as delicious, Al iMacs are delicious unless they are in natural sunlight, otherwise, they're SEXY!!!
I'm glad Apple is moving away from white plastic products, at least with their computers anyway. I never liked the look of the white iMac. I think Aluminum products look sharper. Heck, look at new Kitchens these days. Stainless steel appliances are very popular and that probably influenced Apple's decision to go aluminum, along with the whole environment and plastic thing. Silver is a popular color right now.
I kinda wish they made the keys on the Al keyboard black, like the blackbook. The white keys get dirty so fast. As far as the Apple mouse being white, well I ditched that thing after about 5 minutes of use anyway and went with a Logitech mouse (which happens to be silver and black and IMO matches the Al. iMac better).

I thought about doing this because I have a silver/black Logitech wireless USB mouse but the USB ports are so scarce on the iMac. I really don't like the Mighty Mouse (looks, feel, AND name are all kinda..... ghey?) and I figure this would look better.
Silver is boring You never see white anymore it's different and Black is a much dirtier colour than white.
Silver is not boring
Every thing is silver cars are silver mp3 players are silver. Any one who has silver always looks cheap because the colors always cost more.
Silver was popular in the 80's, then everything became black.
I used to love that white ibook on buffy, and i'd almost buy a white macbook for that reason, but I can understanding there stance on plastic, I think this is the last incarnation of the white apple notebook.
