I'm glad everybody is liking their Macbooks. They look like such sweet machines! I didn't think that I would like the black finish at all based on the photos I have seen, but in person it was a different story. It looks so much nice than I had expected, and nothing at all like a black PC. I still haven't seen the white one though. I'm toying with the idea of selling my 15" PB for one, even though I really don't need it in the least; the PB does everything I need and more, plus I have my iMac. Guess I'll just have to stay away from this forum and stores for a while until my desire dies down. Yeah, right.
Black laptops?
i thought most pc laptops were silver now. Am I wrong. I checked out Dell, hp, sony, and gateway and most of them are silver or black and silver. It looks like HP has switched to the black look but they have been a silver or dark grey look in the past year. Check it out. I don't know why everyone is saying that pc laptops are black because I'm pretty sure most laptops aren't black anymore.

exactly.
while all the pcs are trying to emulate apple by going silver and white etc, most of them have left black alone...one line of hp and the ibm thinkpads are about the only black ones i know of...and even then, you'd have to be stupid to confuse them for one of these
I guess the days of choosing a color just because you like it better and not because it might have the same color as the competition are gone

i chose black because of personal preference.
i dont care if people mistake it for something it isnt.
im sure many other people did the same
mainframe said:no.. they arent white all over, actually. the interior plastic is still a grey colour with the keyboard white
and yes, i do have a colourscheme
Here are my thoughts. I like the black, but only closed, i don't like the interior. when i first saw the pics on the net, the white looked all white, which i liked, but in person its just like the ibook materials, which i hated. If it had been all white it would have been much cooler, even matte white finish on the outside would have been nice. But the black i think its grown on me a bit. But i think i really think it only looks good closed and i mostly look at it open. Wish they had mad and aluminum version though. Love the keys on them. But i will get one, probably white cos of the price. I have to see the black in person still. I wish the bezel around the screen wasn't so thin either. I really like the user replacable Hd, great feature.
