Same here. Saw pics on the forum and didn’t like them. Went to my local store to confirm and glad I did. Not a fan (not even thinking about fingerprints), but looks like a typical Windows laptop.
Got to Agree with that, it does look like some Razer Laptop from Outside in that flat edged brick shape, except the Razer Logo, in a Dark Blue Colour, hate the new design choices of Apple to be frank
Also I really miss Rose Gold Finishes in all Apple Lineups, iPhones, Macs, iPads etc.
 
I think it looks best in space gray. Timeless… classy I think it’s the nicest looking mac air / or max! ever made.

After just about every early review cited fingerprint issues, I ordered a Starlight model in case I ended up wanting an alternative to the Midnight I ordered when preorders went live.

I visited the Apple store yesterday and noticed two things. First, the fingerprints don’t come off easily, at least not with the microfiber I brought along to test. Second, the Midnight looks much more grey than I expected. I had handled a Midnight iPhone last month and thought it looked nice, almost black, but maybe at the larger scale the blue and grey come out more. It couldn’t have been lighting since both were in Apple stores with the same kind of overhead lights.

In the end I canceled the Midnight preorder and will wait for the Starlight, then hopefully pick up a matching Starlight Apple Watch Series 8 in September.
