I think there is a need for clarification on what exactly is meant by 'off-white' (i.e. how much darker or different from a pure white will this be).
Might be along the lines of 2006 MacBooks, light greyish? ??♂️

Tell em to create a hairy notch to connect eyebrows, too. ?My company is making notch stickers of all sizes so those who love them can put them on their TVs, Windows, Car Windows, Microwave and Over Windows, any existing Macs without a notch now, etc.
We're also workin on "duo" (top & bottom notch stickers for all of that) and "quad" (notches on all 4 sides). Those spinning love for the notch will hopefully make us rich. Notches for all windows! Notches for all rectangles!![]()
Somehow people were happy buying laptops from Apple with non-black bezels for... a decade before they switched? I think people will get over it.Off-white bezels?? That’s even worse than white. People are going to get crazy over this ?
They won't do this for the same reason they didn't make the bezels on the iMacs an intense color.If Apple doesn’t want to make the bezels black, then it would better to make it the color of the MBA. So a blue MBA would have blue bezels.
I've been hoping for something like an update of that old 12" Retina MacBook, but with Apple Silicon and a good keyboard this time.Time to drop the "air" name also. Makes no sense with the current lineup.
Exactly...this will be the consumer laptop. Just like the iMac is the consumer desktop.To everyone complaining, saying Apple would never do the off-white bezels... allow me to direct you here https://www.apple.com/imac/
It actually makes a lot of sense. They are both in the same class of fun, casual user.
These are going to sell like hot cakes.
After working 7 years behind the Genius Bar, I can assure you regular consumers (who are your typical MacBook Air customers) don't care one iota about white bezels/keys... they care about having a pink/orange/blue/green computer.
Expect a notch too. Yet another thing regular consumers don't give a sh*t about.

Another +1 vote for this comment! This is exactly it....as reported (remember these are just rumors people) this machine will be the consumer laptop. Colors of the machine are more important than the color of the bezel to most people.These are going to sell like hot cakes.

All of a sudden the ability to hide the notch is an appealing "feature" for the MBP's. O.M.G....Imagine this white-ish bezel with a notch! So, would the components be this white-ish color? (they wont) I have a feeling all the defenders of the notch will have a change of heart when it can't be hidden, and its hideousness is actually amplified by this white border, all for the sake of menu pixels YOU CANT USE! ... (they wont, actually, they will double down)
Maybe it won’t have a notch (the leaker isn’t sure). Or maybe it will also be white, and Apple will use a white background in full-screen mode.All of a sudden the ability to hide the notch is an appealing "feature" for the MBP's.

That would be fantastic. Selling what we now call in the Air in two sizes, like a 12 and 14/15, would be perfect. I have a feeling we’ll get a machine about the same size as the current one, though. And that’s a good size, but a tad bigger and heavier than I prefer. The 12” MB had great dimensions.I've been hoping for something like an update of that old 12" Retina MacBook, but with Apple Silicon and a good keyboard this time.
Photoshop the keyboard of the 14" onto it and make it white.These are going to sell like hot cakes.

And ports, and, andApple needs something to distinguish the Pros other than the faster GPUs and more CPU cores.
I was thinking the same thing, I liked the one I had, and then in a year, all the other manufacturers will copy and do white.It's only been 11 years ago since we had a white MacBook...and many loved the look of it.
