Consistency matters; the iPad has a black bezel. So do the newest iMacs and cinema displays. Silver bezel MBPs look like sloppy custom hack jobs.

I agree with you, the silver bazel does not match with the color of keyboard so it is not looking stylish. Also, I like glossy screen, the colors are more vibrant, more vivid in glossy screens. Matte ones are looking cheap and faded..

Personally, I like white macbooks, it is really unique.
 
Black bezel to make the keys match. If you're going to have a silver bezel make the keys match like the previous generation MacBook Pro's otherwise they will look out of place.

I prefer the black bezel with the black keys as well.

I think if it had silver keys then the silver would look much better.

But as of now. Black all the way.
 
It is amazing how many folks look at the black bezel instead of the screen when they are doing work on their computer. Me, I tend to concentrate on the screen itself. And I enjoy doing that without the God-awful incredibly annoying glare spilling all over the image or document I'm working on.

I think this forum has too many interior decorators and not enough carpenters and car mechanics! :D

Silver Bezel

I LOVE the anti-glare screen. While there isn't the black bezel this is a black "outline" around the screen which I like and matches the keyboard. It's a little gasket or something but I do like the looks of it.
 
Should have made this a poll.

I prefer the silver. It reminds me of the old PowerBooks which were, IMO, the best looking notebooks ever made.
 
What about a white bezel with white keyboard to match both the ipad 2 and current aluminum wireless keyboard, respectively? :D
 
I vastly prefer the black to the silver. Unfortunately, I also prefer matte over glossy. It's not really a big deal to me though.

Did anything ever come of that guy who was going to sell stickers to put over the silver bezel to make it black? I would definitely buy one of those.
 
I didn't like the silver at first, but after 2 models with Anti-glare its grown on me.

Though, I guess given a choice, I might go Anti-glare with a black bezel.
 
Silver any day. Carries that Titanium PowerBook (best laptop design from Apple) DNA.

The Black bezels reminds me too much of HP Pavilions. Only look good on the iPhone.
 
Don't mind it. Didn't notice it much in 13" and now with AG I like the silver bezel. I think overall I prefer teh silver bezel though like in the Airs and Mbp AG's.
