Are you guys sad to see Apple is moving MacBooks and everything else away from white? You can instantly tell a laptop is an Mac when you see it in white, in most cases.
Got a tip for us?

Death of the white Macbook :-(

First off, we no nothing about the new ones other than rumors so we can't guarantee that yet.
And I love the curvy design of the iMacs and MacBooks.

yah but everyone is making white computers now to try and imitate the macbook. You still have the white iphone!
I love my white macbook, although it may soon become antique.
I am proud to be the owner of one of the first MacBooks, May 18, 2006.

Ahaha, really? The black ones make me retch.
I wonder why we have such strong feelings over something that trivial. I can't stand any of Apple's products being anything other than white.
Maybe I need a shrink or something.
Yes!
If the rumors are true, I'm going to have a hard time deciding between buying one of this models and going with the update.
The update is going to really have to be worth it for me to choose aluminum. I love white Apple products. All of my 
stuff and accessories are white.
That's one of the reasons I haven't gotten an iPod Classic yet. I'm wrestling my constant urge to upgrade against my love for the classic white.

Whatever they bring out, the system will be the best, i just hope that they dont have a sharp edge
Durable? The MacBook is the most durable Apple laptop available.
Moving to aluminium would make it less durable.
I love the white as also love the imac G4, I bought now in case they change the keyboard to Black, which in my eyes looks bad.
Time will tell how bad or good the next macbook will be.

It will be sad to see them go (if that is the case) but just as exciting to see some new designs in my opinion.
Um...you ask anyone if plastic or metal is more durable...guess what they are gonna say...
Aluminum is very strong. Anyone who thinks an alum laptop dents easy doesnt own one or is insanely careless. I posted this in another thread but I am roughly 225 pounds and I hopped out of bed one morning and my heel landed square on the lid of my macbook pro which was laying on my hardwood bedroom floor. Not one dent, bend, or scratch. I opened it expecting to see the screen broken from the pressure. Nothing. It looks just like it did when I took it out of the box.
I won't be happy, but I won't be disappointed either. In the past, Apple's "trademark" with most of their products was the plastic casing in white. This was throughout their product lines: many different iPods, iMacs, iBooks, MacBooks, and I am sure that there are many more (keyboards, mice, ect.). It now seems like they are slowly starting to change their standard to the grey aluminum, just remember the speech that Jobs gave when he announced the Aluminum iMacs last summer. Some of the big things that are still white that need to be changed for this to be product-wide are the MacBooks, their mice, and the white iPhone 3G (it surprised me when they made that an option). Now so many of their products are aluminum: iPods, MBA, MBP, Mac Pro, iMac, iPhone (1st gen.), Mac Mini, keyboards, along with a few other small things. It is clear that this is the direction that Apple is going design wise.
But we don't know exactly when this update will happen, I don't see it happening until MWSF '09.

The white iPhone was a surprise to me. I think the reason behind it was that people don't think cell phones when they hear the Apple name. Making the iPhone in white may have people take a second look on the streets and ask themselves "is that an Apple cell phone"?
It would be so cool if they make the next aluminum MacBook painted in high gloss white. I know I am dreaming.

i LOVE the black look too!!! maybe Apple will go with a Black Aluminum (like have the internal casing as aluminum (like in the MBP) but when they laminate it (theres a clear laminate on the MBP) they could laminate it in Matte black
It would look awesome and really SHINY!
hopefully that's what tehy do cuz if they dont... i'll be really sad.
and hopefully we see the intel GMA X4500 or a better graphics card and a Centrino 2 chipset.
yes kind of. But apple goes through fazes. First colors. Then white. Now Metal.
My dad really likes the traditional apple white. Thats why he bought the white iPhone (though in this case I much prefer the black)
I am also sad about the iPod designs. They are not bad, but the design of the 1G nano was soooo amazing.
