They should just include the Apple cloth with all of the Space Black MacBook Pros.

Apparently the finger print coating is only on the outside chassis so it’s likely around the keyboard will be a finger print magnet whereas the rest of the device will be fine
Where did you hear that? Sounds completely fake.
Someone mentioned it in a YouTube video but I can’t remember who said it now and can’t find anything online to verify the claim, however, looking at reports online though finger prints will still show on the device just not as prominent and Apple employees were reportedly continually wiping the devices down between people using it at the hands on, so I expect it will be better but finger prints will still be showing.
Tech Chap's hands on video mentioned it. He was among those who got invited to Apple event in New York. I don't think he would BS on this, probably heard it first hand from Apple rep.
For reference at 1 min 40 secs, the layer is apparently only on the lid and not the keyboard area
Just watching a few MacBook Pro unboxing videos and you can see how the apple logo gets kinda lost on the space black version.

I find it hilarious that everyone finds the black iPhone boring and gravitated towards the natural titanium color. Meanwhile in Macbook land, it's the complete opposite...
As for me, I personally don't like space black, theres no contrast. I'll take space grey or silver over black any day of the week. Give me all the shades of grey.

Its kinda funny but also kinda sad that in every unboxing video of the space black they have to do a finger print test first thing
I think silver is the most premium option of them all 
That won't bother me. I know I bought a Mac and I am not likely to forget it any time soon.
What is sad is that Apple catered to people obsessed over such meaningless minutia.
I was always disappointed with Space Gray which seemed too silver.
Now I see people disappointed that this Space Black seems too gray.
However, I choose to believe that this is the real Space Gray, and for that reason I think it’s great. I love everything charcoal gray.
I wish it was more like the Midnight color, maybe a touch darker with half the amount of blue. But I’ll take it over Space Gray any day!! And I did.

Picked up the M3 Pro today! As promised, here's the Speedometer 2.1 test!
That's crazy. I did see a video earlier with a score of 575. May get slight faster once they have time to settle in. Thank you any way
Black makes it look too much like a Dell or HP laptop
I surprisingly prefer Silver and Space Gray this year. The Apple logo doesn't pop off of the Space Black like I hoped.
