If you went for Silver, you made the right choice. I went with a SG 1.3 and it is really showing fingerprints. Gold, not happening for me in a computer or phone.
Got a tip for us?

Yup, silver 1.3/256. About 20-30 days to go until it arrives, but who's counting

Cool!! I hope it is all you're hoping for!
Space Gray, just to change it up. I know they can't offer a million colors, but I am surprised they didn't bring back a black option. It seems like that was what a lot of people were hoping for from reading the forums over the last couple of years.
Too retro maybe? If they had that and gold, I'd be really surprised if gold outsold black.

Went for Gold 1.3/512 but was late to the party and didn't order til last weekend so got 33-45 days to wait. Had been considering a watch but decided against that for now. rMB seems a much more sensible buy
Saw in local store this week and suddenly my 2009 unibody MacBook feels like a tonne weight!

Agreed. I do enjoy technology, but in this instance I would prefer to put that money towards a used Breitling. Though, this would arguably present a non "sensible" purchase to many I am sure.
Just bought one of the only space grey macbooks in the kc area. It's awesome! easily one of the best computers I've ever used... ppl's concerns about it being underpowered have no idea what they are talking about. Also, a 19 dollar usb adapter and I can plug in anything I needed. I love this thing!
Absolutely! I only really liked the gold edition watch and if I had the money for that I'd rather buy a Chanel diamond J12.......or a car! Thankfully my knock off Chanel watch from Thailand looks fab and I don't want to replace in my wrist with an
watch. The ceramic strap is kind a space grey colour too!!I can't see an
watch holding its value as well as a Chanel watch.I would have thought so, thats what i have just bought, so obviously my favourite colour.
Surprised how much higher gold is in the poll over silver, i would have thought silver would have been second with gold trailing by quite a bit, maybe there is a lot more females on here than i thought.
The male gender is allowed to purchase gold products. Your ignorance is showing in your statement.
Silver for Mac products is just so boring now that anything else will be more popular, unless you're a boring person.
Yeah... males who like their stuff to look tacky.
Isn't the internet neat how we can just put words into other people's mouths whenever we feel like it?
Color preference amongst genders/sexual orientation/race/economic and social classes, etc. is a well studied field of research, especially in marketing.
Can you explain how you think that attachment relates? I'm not trying to be daft, please spell it out for us?
I don't know if some of these comments are just part of the overall currently way-overboard "politically correct" trend of literally trying to be color blind, but I just roll my eyes (and this is coming from someone who was marching in gay and women's rights rallies before many of the posters here were born).
You're in Belgium. Color relationships might be different. I'm in the US.
I'm old enough to have lived through decades of fashion trends. I was wearing pink Izod shirts in the mid '80s when it was considered cool for straight men to where pink and purple as part of the "preppy" look. "Miami Vice" was in. That lasted a couple years and then faded. These days, the percentage of white men wearing pink shirts would lean disproportionately gay, but that could vary from region to region as well (US is a big place with a huge "melting pot" of ethnicities, races, cultures).
If you poll American men and women on what their favorite color is, women are far more likely to say purple or pink than men are.
Gold is more popular with certain ethnicities and races. Black rappers popularized gold chains and accessories as status symbols (it was often conveyed that it symbolized changing the iron chains of slavery to gold), and that spread as a fashion trend. Silver/stainless steel is by far more popular metal for jewelry for young white men.
That being said, people should buy whatever color they like and shouldn't care what anyone else thinks about that. While there may be trends or generalizations, that doesn't mean you have to follow them and it certainly doesn't signify anything other then you happened to like the look of something in that color. Anybody saying that someone is gay or is girly because they like a certain color is an idiot.
But the flaw of making any assumptions from the poll is that the poll itself is flawed. It's participation-biased, i.e. who is most likely to participate in the poll already knowing the question that is being asked? Take me for example. I've posted in this thread, I have a rMB, it's silver... but I hadn't even looked at the poll. Would it be surprising if people choosing one of the new alternative colors to the standard silver would be more likely to want to discuss it and even validate their choice via a poll?
