The argument for black is that the cost of a good paint job is going to be more than the luxury tax apple has for the black macbook, plus it won't look as good.

I had a Blackbook but when I got a new one I decided on white because the black one just showed smudges to easy.

Amazing job!
Thanks, but the art isn't mine (I just bought it off a stock graphics/photography site).
I've actually had a couple people tell me I ruined my macbook, but I disagree. Plus it makes finding and keeping track of my laptop much easier e.g. at the airport, at conferences, blah blah.
We have owned three macbooks in our household, two black and one white. The black finish after a quick clean with a wet cloth looked new. However, the same clean on the white macbook did not do much. The swirls on the polycarbonate showed up too well. I just like the finish and look of the black macbook more than the white.
When I do get a Macbook for general use on of these days it WILL be a black one.
The smudge thing is overrated, and far too little people know about www.applepeelz.com, so it's a moot point.
The black one is ver exlcusive, very professional looking, and melds well with the iPhone which after long debate and educated discussion (yes, that means with no iPhone fanboys/girls) I plan on getting.
It's the one Apple laptop that truly stands out without having to be the 17" MBP.
The white one is just as good of course, but you have to pay extra for your Apple to look even better...
We all know about that just by looking at the iMac.
