behind you!
i know there has been millions of these threads, and i also know it comes down to a personal preference.
BUT aside from which you think looks better what are the design pros and cons of a white Macbook and the black Macbook?
scratching, dirty, discloration, warping, cracking?
which one is better overall and easier to maintain?
 
White one= scratches and potential discoloration.
Black one= oily (dirty) surface and potential peeling (although the peeling is very rare I've seen some cases, not as much as discoloration)

I went black because of store availability (betters specs without BTO) and because it looks better to me, I hate scratches and I clean my computers on a weekly basis so filthiness isn't an issue.

white
cons= dirty, gets scratches
pros= cheaper doesnt collect fingerprints, looks better when using the screen

black
cons= collects finger prints, more money, plastic comes off
pros=looks so much kooler

If you dont really care get the white, but if you have the money and you are willing to spend the extra 200$ or w/e it is, than go ahead
