Perhaps hinting a black retina...

I can tell their anodising method is better now than when the 5 was first released. I got my iPhone 5 couple days after release, it wore away from being in my pocket with nothing else. It was replaced about a month ago and is still flawless.

did you get it replaced because of the wear? I wonder if I can get mine replaced

TBH, it might just be apple wanting to sell the new Mac Pro. But as the mac pro is the first all black mac in years, it seems apple might be wanting to change it up a bit. Especially with all the rumors about a cheap colored iPhone, somethings definitely happening internally with apple in terms of designs and color options.

And how the hell a cheap system can reproduce good sound?
It's not possible.
I wish it was.

Right. And you need two amps.

I don't think being an audiophile (or videophile) is defined by the amount of money you spend on equipment. Someone who makes $35,000 a year will never buy a $10,000 amp. If they appreciate accurate, high fidelity reproduction of sound and buy the best equipment to suit that purpose that is in their budget, does that not make them an audiophile? To me, an audiophile is someone who spends their $300 on the best stereo speaker set up they can afford and a quality used receiver instead of buying the sleek, sexy sound bar that the blue shirt at best buy recommended because they value sound above all else when purchasing sound equipment. Saying an audiophile is defined by you spending large sums of cash is like saying you aren't a car enthusiast if you don't own a $500,000 super car.

How about
An audiophile is a person obsessed/interested in reproducing high fidelity sound, and usually is willing to buy audio equipment with any of the spending money he/she has.

And generally you can be a car enthusiast with $100,000-200,000. But not if you like Koenigsegg!

What does any of that have to do with why Apple wouldn't put out a black MBP? The iPhone 5 comes in black aluminum. The iPad Mini comes in black aluminum. The new Mac Pro comes in black aluminum.

Also there has never been a black aluminum Macbook Pro. There was a black plastic Macbook.

Companies paint airplanes which takes roughly 300 pounds of paint. I think MBP users can take an extra 27 grams.

I totally agree. Apple has only used black plastic on their products. Not until last year there was an actual product with black aluminum.
I personally think apple's planing a turn around with the MBP colors. Apple computers are the only things they sell without color options, its about time to extend the color choices.

Unfortunately not, my sleep/wake button wasn't working properly. I'm sure if you go in and say that a £529+ device shouldn't wear this much they might replace it if the manager is nice.

Does it come with the Swagwell processor?

Is that a 6.9 Hexacore processor?

Black makes oil and dirt show a lot more than aluminum. The black MacBooks did look nice but I'm not sure how I'd feel about Apple bringing that color back.

Both black and white colors make oil and dirt show a lot more than aluminum. Black absorbs heat, while white reflects it. White is harder to keep clean than black.

Personally, I'm tired of black. The entire Western world wants black computer and phones. Give me colors, white, or leave the alu as it is now.
The eastern world prefers more white electronics and for me it's more 'fresh'.

Well, you can get your favorite color via ColorWare. Or you can DIY with automotive and industrial color and chemical treatments.
