The black bezel around the screen is still to fat for my liking, if there were a black macbook pro the bezel will have to be much thinner for it to be truly gorgeous.
 
A Blackbook Pro, if you will.

Haha, I thought of this name before. :D

The best Black MBP concept that I have seen, though, is the one below. I remember seeing it a few years back when there were all these rumors about using Liquidmetal in Apple's products.

Black anodized aluminium? No thanks. Did not enough to use case in iPhone 5 to don't get scratch, and now to use them in MBP?

Yeah, but other companies have made good quality black anodized products, why couldn't apple?

Yeah. They could have done better with the iPhone, they really must have made a budget cut consensus on that one. You knew already just by seeing how many had scratches while not even out of the box yet that there was some lack of quality to the finish. I wish they'd considered paying a premium and doing a better job. Hoping for better for the 5S. Not expecting it though

For people with dark karma... :D. Are you a gothic man?
 
people keep getting better and better at photoshop. Im sure if those came out, they would make a pretty chunk of revenue due to its aesthetics.

I would love to get my hands on one. And everybody knows that the black ones run faster ;)
 
Lol I kind of hope it would be called that. Show that the people at apple have some sense of humor...

Haha I guess so, then they could call battery life, "apple juice" and the new gold iphone, "The golden apple".
 
Blackbook Pro?

We know that Apple like to unify the designs of their com puters, and i'm thinking, perhaps hoping that the new MBPs will look more like the Mac Pro than the Air or the iMac.

And let's face it, Aluminimum has lost a lot of it's premium lustre, i've seen it being used to make £500 laptops. It's fine for Apple's mainstream computers such as the Air.. But to differenciate themselves, espessily with their premium/pro machines i think it's time to take a leap to carbon fiber.
 
a wine cooler as inspiration for a macbook pro? sounds like a challenge :)


I pay a premium price for outstanding and excellent materials. I do not pay a premium price because my laptop needs to look fancier than a cheaper laptop lol
 
That's not a black MacBook, you just took a picture of the Razer Blade! :)

I actually have a 13in retina and the Razer Blade 14in. If it wasn't for the fact that Razer used a midrange LCD, not an IPS display I would say the Razer is hands down a better laptop.

It's pricy, 2k pricy, but its a quadcore i7, 8gb RAM, 256GB SSD, and 765M GPU. and I regularly get 5.5-6hrs out of it, that's just 30min less than my Retina. The touchpad is even really good. If it had an IPS I'd say it's the first laptop I'd consider "perfect."

I was talking aesthetics.
 
Think more out side the pan people common!

You're all thinking too small innovation in terms of design / aesthetics, of a revolutionary new design. I would go as far as to diamond cut the edges just like on their fone. All the edges can have a nice shiny diamond cut edge, make the macbook more like a gem than just a hunk of aluminum or a pan - please! I don't care if it is a darker grey or what it is now, just give me those beautiful edges and a much thinner screen bezel and I'll pay 5000 for it right now.
