Which MacBook color are you choosing?

[Queen6]

Gold, everyone else is going to get the grey one. I like the contrast of the keyboard to the case. Really need to see them in the flesh, but the grey strikes as being a little dull, and the silver as more of the same, so gold it is...

If I end up getting the new MacBook, I will probably opt for silver. It's just classic Apple. I prefer white/white-ish electronics to black/black-ish, and the gold is just tacky. (I have a gold iPhone 5S, but that's different.)

Why is that different?

Looks like we'll need to be in quickly to get one of the early grey ones...

Some of us are going to have to wait for the second batch, no doubt.

Space grey for me but not until it hits the 13 inch Macbook Air's possibly next year.

I wouldn't count on that happening.

I'm far from convinced that I'll be buying one of these, but if I do, I guarantee it'll be standard silver aluminum. I don't need to be rubbing the fact that I just bought one of these things in everyone's faces.

Having said that, I bet the gold is a stunner.

That's my issue with the gold, it's not so much about what folks think of me, i just feel that the gold is more a magnet for attention (not in a good way), I don't want to be worried to use the thing. Whereas I don't think the silver and grey will be so much of an issue.

Talk about first world problems lol

If you like the gold, then go for it. There's nothing wrong with the color. I like how it looks with the black keyboard. Plus, it's a very subtle/pale gold, not yellow gold

Yeah I know the feeling.

If it was a yellow gold I wouldn't even be considering it. I like that it is very understated, but still very appealing and striking.

The next quandary is what sleeve to buy - whatever colour I get I will definitely have to get a case for when I'm out and about!!

I'm talking like I'm going to definitely buy it - I'm still thinking about it damn it!!

space gray, and it's not even a question. That's what i get on ios devices. For people who always wanted another black macbook, this is pretty close.

I actually really like the traditional, boring aluminum. Looks like I'm in a very, very small minority, though!

Likewise. The space gray does look nice so I would consider that. But then I feel like I would have to get a space gray iPhone and I'm all about the silver/white iPhone. I'd be in a similar situation if I got the gold Macbook.

 

[MH01]

Space grey.

 

[nouveau-apple]

What a relief cause I'm certainly going for the gold this time.

 

[Freyqq]

I'd be afraid that the black or gold anodized color would wear off from palm sweat and abrasion over the course of its lifetime.

 

[iRun26.2]

I've changed my mind. I'm not doing space grey. I am going with the gold.

 

[totten76]

Space grey for sure.....just concerned over its longevity, especially in areas where my wrists would rest. :/

No more or less than the current silver, there have been numerous threads over the years. Safe to say if your current Mac has no issue then the new ones likely wont.

Seriously? Why matchy-matchy?

 

[6r4ff3r]

I like gold, fits well with the black of keyboard and screen off.

 

[zOne31]

Seriously? Why matchy-matchy?

I like to match the colors of my devices. Or maybe I'm just over thinking it and should just get different colors? For the iPhone, I basically only see myself getting the silver/white. I'm still heavily towards silver for the Macbook but I could see myself getting the other two colors too.

 

[jjfcpa]

Is it telling that Apple decided to showcase the gold one on their website?

Do they know something we don't? Maybe gold will provide the distinctiveness that the lighted Apple logo did?

It'll go great with my shirt!

 

[MacCheeseLai]

Gold, if I can get it. If not, silver like my MBP.
