I wish they would have made the black MacBook polycarbonate unibody. It would have looked so nice high-polished with LED backlit screen and glass track pad...

Who in here still rocking the Black MacBook

Still have the 2008 blackbook although my partner uses it now (switched him over from Windows) since I got an 11" MBA. I would never sell it, unless I had to. Someone mentioned the Pismo, that was also a beautiful laptop, couldn't sell mine for years until I had the black Macbook.
I'm using one now; I got this black beauty in late Winter of 2007; I haven't had any worries really. It's a 13" 2 Ghz Core Duo 160 gb running OS X 10.7.2 LION
I wish would come out with an anodized black aluminum unibody MBP
Meanwhile, I'm hoping for a 13" quad core soon; 13" is the PERFECT size for a notebook!

I am still using my May 2007 black MacBook - runs Lion reasonably happily but really shows it's age when running anything that needs graphics input!
My daughter still uses hers!! I actually just upgraded it to Snow Leopard from Tiger. And I have increased the memory to 2GB...using crucial.
MacBook 2.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (13-inch Black) MB063LL/A
This is her system. Is there anything else I should do to this laptop to ensure it continues to run smooth. Had it many years and the only two issues we have:
1. The case has cracked on the sides
2. The right arrow key no longer works
But that is minor.

Apple will still replace the plamrest part of the case if it has cracks on it for free, even if the machine is out of warranty. When doing this, the keyboard will also get replaced.
Hi I noticed you have 4GB but I thought the highest was 3GB. Can you tell me what you did to achieve this cause I would like 4GB too.
TIA!

OMG!! thank you so much
I never knew this... should I call 1-800 apple or just take it to the store?This is great news.
The Macbook 2,1 models can see 4Gb, but only use 3.3Gb of it. Using two 2Gb sticks is the fastest, while one 1Gb and one 2Gb stick can be slightly slower.
OMG!! thank you so much
This is great news.
Take it to the Apple Store.
gotcha...this is awesome info. This is what I purchased for her system. I think this should be okay.
2GB kit (1GBx2)
DDR2 PC2-5300 CL=5 Unbuffered NON-ECC DDR2-667 1.8V 128Meg x 64 Part #: CT685393

currently it still has the 512mb 512mb to equal 1GB. I just upgraded to snow leopard and want it to run smooth.
I purchased the 2GB as an upgrade but I would prefer 4GB. I did the crucial scanner and that is how i ended up with the 2GB. I don't know how to choose the 4GB... not sure what I should be looking for.
ahhhhh I see exactly what you are saying... one is longer vs shorter. ok. I will purchase the shorter. you have really helped me today. much appreciated!!
Newegg has a nice deal on some great RAM

Mushkin brand, excellent quality.
Thats what I would suggest if you're looking for a 4GB kit.
Crucial is excellent too, but its slightly more expensive right now.
Either way you cannot go wrong.

I bought one of these sexy BlackBooks for $450 a couple months ago. I found myself using it more than my brand new 15" MBP lol....only thing I did not like was the guy installed lion on it and after using lion for a while, I ended up hating it...i ended up giving it the BlackBook to my dad since his up laptop died...needless to say, he LOVeS it! Awesome laptop
I dont understand...the tech never mentioned anything will be different. Are you saying new keyboards dont have number keys? Now im worried.
