I wish Apple would make them in bright colors (purple, yellow, green, red......). Not very proffessional looking but for ~3500 dollar I would have hoped for some exciting colors beyond silver, gray and black. But I guess they want them to NOT look like the iMacs.
 
ugh - fingerprints - dont like fingerprints on my gear
my space grey mac mini doesnt attract fingerprint
thats close enough to black for me
i have other laptops that are even darker grey - close to black - that dont attract fingerprints

Any chance for them to implement the light up logo again in future iterations?
That is the only thing holding me back from upgrading. :p

I miss this feature but I don't think it will ever come back.

This is such an unfortunate first frame on the verge’s video to wait for the video to load on :p
 
Amazing how everyone’s hands are so greasy and disgusting right when Apple needs them to be. Did they feed everyone fried chicken right before the reveal?

It’s not even black just a very dark grey.

The keyboard well is the shade it should be.
 
Absolutely brilliant color. I have fond memories of the last black MacBooks from the mid-late 2000s. I may spring for one of these even though it's hard to justify. Will likely wait to see what the next iPad Pros look like. I hope Apple does a larger 14" iPad Pro.
Powerbooks, not Macbooks.

Been waiting for a black Apple laptop since the Powerbook G3 was replaced with the Titanium Powerbook G4... ;) It is very nostalgic. Now, light up that Apple logo again and flip it back upside down and we'll really be happy.

The polycarbonate MacBook came in a black high end model between 2006 and 2008 too.

They seem really committed to the design idea of having a black Apple logo on the darker Macs and iPhones. I wonder if that's part of what's driving the color choices.

I miss the old iPhones with an actual black back and a silver Apple logo, those looked great.
I think the iPhone 7 was the last iPhone with black Apple Logo?

FYI Jason Snell forgot to mention that the M3 base 14 MBP is MISSING a TB4 port (down to 2), as the M3 Pro/Max models have 3 ports. No explanation from Apple why that is.

Also has anyone found IF the storage drives are faster than last years Mac Studio M2 Max/Ultra imbedded SSD drives Read/Write speeds?!

Didn't both the PB G3 Lombard and Pismo come with semi transparent Apple logo's, not Black logo's?
