I was thinking just this same thing today.
The reason, I figured, that Apple has been a bit slow to update the laptops to Merom is that a rework of the pro unit is coming. Aside from rev.a fixes, we'll see removable hard drives, new case design and screen options, and definitely a black metal case, high-end only (the new Apple way to upsell).
 
maybe it will take a while to fade in my memory but to me black is dell/ibm.
i like my macs white.
note: i switched after the colors craze so they dont excite me either.

But the black color of dells and other windows laptops havent :) I still prefer the aluminum on the macpros and white for macbooks. I can see the uproar if they changed the MBP's to say plastic...

They charge ridiculous prices but hey. They have like 200 colors.

If the finish is as tough as they claim and as the two reviews I found online say - it's worth every penny. Sounds like this might be the answer to my pitting problems. We'll see. ;)

You could try clear nail polish.

I am willing to pay a good premium to have something like colorware done, but those prices are just insane. :( I hope that Colorware can get some competition, so that prices will come down.
 
discussion on this topic has been pretty dead for a while...

looks like this won't be happening :(

i'm sitting here typing on my powerbook just thinking about how sick it would look in black......
 
It would be a tough decission for me. I love the way my MacBook Pro has this look to it and i've heard that you can see every finger print on Black MacBook's, since I'm always moving. Overall I think I would rather stay with my aluminum casing.

Why ? your machine will be great still, they would just be coming with new versions, its a look that can get refined, and even made more sturdy and reliable.
