All Black looks amazing!

I secretly longed for multi-colored MBs. I actually figured I'd get an orange the day they were released. Though they did not, I bought one anyway, I think Colorware voids the warranty though and this being a rev a product ... well yanno.
Black looks great but I wish it came directly from Apple.
 
I don't like the black actually...The trackpad looks yuk, its glossy (defeats the purpose of Aluminium) and figerprint-y and its too much of the same.

Thats just my opinion though...

Would be cool if they could anodize them another colour. That I would buy.
 
I like the metallic 'dragon' green the best but am very happy with the way it is.

I concur, if black was available from Apple in anodized I would jump on it. Partly due to the appearance of the anodized black but also due to the fact that I would hope the trackpad would be altered to black so it wouldn't stand out as much.
 
Trackpad not matching = no thanks.

Apple should have just made them in black too, but they shouldn't now, because I already bought mine ;)
 
I agree with the previous posters, I love the way this looks (I would opt for the prowler shade) but could never justify paying so much especially voiding the warranty at the same time. I also don't like the way the trackpad looks.

COlorware replace the warranty with their own so it's not voided.
 
Sure it looks very cool. I like it actually (trackpad not matching aside). However, $500 for it? Naaaahhhh. Also, Rev A's Aluminum MacBooks will need that warranty and voiding it is a sign you have the $$ to repair it.
 
Are they going to replace your macbook if something goes wrong?

That's what a warranty is...

If my product stops working, what do I do with it? Do I contact ColorWare or the original manufacturer?
Any product customized by ColorWare is covered under a ColorWare warranty, and should be sent to ColorWare for service, repair, or replacement as needed. For more information on the warranty and warranty services, please see the Service & Support Section.

This company's idea has always seemed ridiculously cool to me and I love playing around on the website, but frankly the prices are just way too expensive. Not saying the application of paint and such on the laptop doesn't cost a lot, its just its not worth my money to paint my laptop.
