I can just see it now. "My Black Glassbook has a scratch. Should I take it back?"
Silver aluminum will hold up against scratches far better than anodized.

I thought old MBPs were anodized, and I don't recall anyone complaining about easier scratchable black iPods and such, and you drop those things like they're hot, and still, not that many scratches..
An iPod doesn't dent either, but laptops do. They have 4lbs of weight behind them.

I'm a terrible photoshop user, but anyway, here's my take on it:
He means that more pressure = greater chance to scratch.
And yes, anodized black aluminum may not scratch more easily, but it does SHOW a great deal more. I speak from experience(black Silverstone TJ09 case, black aluminum on the outside, reg inside, and it shows minor scratches like a bitch).
However, for anyone who really really wants a black macbook, you could probably dissasemble the laptop and have the aluminum parts anodized. Would require a good working knowledge of how to put it back together of course.
doesn't anodizing involve some chemical knowledge, costs and risks? looks a little more dangerous than painting the old plastic ones, simply boiling the parts in paint, check out the tangerine thread in this forum for info and pics..
someone was suggesting using quite resisting spray paint meant for engines and such..
would it be possible to spray paint an invisible shield of some sort for the trackpad?in order to make the whole macbook BLACK?
Er, I had assumed he meant you could disassemble the Macbook, send the aluminum parts to an anodizing shop, and then put it back together yourself, which is very possible. Honestly, I'm surprised someone hasn't done it yet.
Black aluminum would be gorgeous! I wish they would have just kept the black plastic though. They should have also made the mbp's out of black plastic. Honestly, the plastic seems like it's more durable than the aluminum.
That original "brick" of aluminum would have to be black, and not just painted that way. I don't think that it is even possible (iPod classics and nanos are painted, correct?)

How about an orange one? lol
I honestly thought Apple would offer the MacBook in various colors if they went aluminum. But I was wrong.![]()
