Is it just me or ... (Black Macbooks)

I'm guessing they will indeed do that whenever the next form factor update happens. Maybe we'd be able to choose between black and white, like how it is with the MacBooks.

Is it just me or do black Macbooks not stand out from the crowd? I wouldn't mind having a blackbook to match my setup but wouldn't pay extra for the paint job granted it is only $50 extra.

I was in the computer lab today and as I was leaving, I immediately noticed a MBP and white Macbook but only noticed that someone had a blackbook after taking the time to see what other notebook brands were being used. I seriously mistook that guy's blackbook for an HP. It just looks like another Thinkpad/HP notebook..

Also while in lecture hall/class, white Macs def. standout. Maybe its cause I have one and if I had a blackbook it'd be different .... nah :p

You seem really desperate to stand out from the crowd... if this is so important to you why not just paint the MacBook flourescent pink and get it over with. I buy nice looking gear because I enjoy looking at it and I don't give a rat's ass if anyone else is impressed or not. You should try it. I mean Apple hardware comes in white, black and sometimes metal. Whichever you pick, so will millions of others.

You buy it for me, I'll use it.

Here's something to consider: The Blackbook is instantly recognizable as
a current, expensive Mac laptop. A white Macbook is easily mistaken for
the ubiquitous iBook - there are still millions of 'em out there. Check this out:

The moral of the story? If you choose black, watch your back! :cool:

stabbing someone inside a cafe for a laptop is rare indeed, however unfortunate.

how do those leashes work? where would you tether the laptop, i dont see a place that's secure enough to prevent a yank.
