What happened to Black colored MacBook?

[MacSo]

Just curious- does anyone know why they stop making the black colored MacBook that came out a few years ago?

They changed design, and put more focus on the aluminum 13" model. Can't tell you for sure why.

Nobody here would know. I personally liked the look more than the white

Sold it on eBay.

Apple first got rid of it by going to the Unibody design. Then they decided they wanted that design in the MacBook Pro and a 13" MBP was released. They wanted the MacBook to look like a cheaper, more economical computer, so they made the distinction mainly in casing. Now you have it as it is.

Before, Black Macbooks were traditionally priced a couple hundred above the white Macbooks. Now, a couple hundred above the white Macbooks is the MBP 13" so I don't see where they could fit a black Macbook in. Plus, white is Apple's flagship colors (not sure if it is anymore)

I heard that they were just Limited Edition Macbooks. I didn't like them anyway, black products get too greasy =/

Nothing "Limited Edition" about them. They were just more expensive for no other reason than being black. Seriously, they never had a faster CPU than the next model down, just a bigger HDD. If you used the BTO option to get the white MacBook to the exact same specs as the black one, the black on was about $200 more expensive.

It was too good looking, too popular, sold too many, so Apple killed it off... 😱

Glad I kept mine!

I use for work and have had it since it first came out. It's great and I dread the day I will have to part from it. I was just curious as to why it wasn't continued. The aluminum casing is so...industrial looking...not as sharp as the black case.

Thanks for the feedback folks. This forum is more useful than I expected
