Hi,

I decided to buy the new MacBook just for the sheer portability. However, I just can't decide which color to choose! They all look awesome. Which is your favorite?

I always opt for Silver/White Apple products. But this time, I'll go for the Space Gray MacBook.

Edit: It'd be better if you add a poll :)

Space Gray, and it's not even a question. That's what I get on iOS devices. For people who always wanted another black MacBook, this is pretty close.

If I end up getting the new MacBook, I will probably opt for silver. It's just classic Apple. I prefer white/white-ish electronics to black/black-ish, and the gold is just tacky. (I have a gold iPhone 5S, but that's different.)

The gold is dreadful. I'd feel embarassed to be seen using that!

I'll be getting the Space Grey - so gorgeous!

I've never actually owned a Mac (I know, shame shame) and I'm deciding between the Silver and Space Grey MacBook (the gold looks too flashy).

I am literally scratching my eyes out trying to decide. The silver would match my iPhone and iPad but the space grey just looks wonderful. Is the silver more susceptible to visible scratches? Which simply looks better, in your opinion?

I love the gold and the space gray. I had the gold 5s and quickly decided that I thought it was ugly. I just didn't like the contrast between the shade of gold and the white. When the 6 launched, I was impressed with how much more attractive the gold color was. However, I opted for the white/silver because the antenna colors introduced a third color that messed with the look. I also don't like the black/space gray contrast.

However, the all gray MacBook is so sleek and the gold is simply stunning! I don't know if I would own the gold, but I can't stop looking at pictures of it because it glows!

I tried to add a poll for preferred color "Gold, Silver, Space Grey", but there is literally no add poll option anywhere when I edit my original post! Could a moderator add one, please? It would help me tons.

In the top right corner of the first post of the thread, click "Thread Tools" and add a poll.

Space grey. Does anyone know if it will be available at best buy on April 10? I want to use a giftcard I have.

The gold looks nice. But I feel like its meant for people who either have a gold $ around their neck or "JUICY" written on their ass.

Nothing against those people but as a white male I feel like I would seem like I'm reaching for something I'm not.

So space grey it is!

You can't add a poll after the thread has been created. If you want to add a poll to your thread, only a mod can do so.

Much appreciated. Do you think the space gray MacBook will scratch and chip easily, just like many have been experiencing with their space gray Apple products?

That said, I bet the space gray will sell out fast :)
