Will Apple ever make a "black" and "white" MBP?

If Apple move to a composite material for the case i could see it happening, although the aluminium is very much an Apple signature for it`s Mac line, so i doubt any time soon.

 

No, because a black chassis with white or black keys would look hideous. The design of the rMBP is perfection, and the only thing I would change is getting rid of the glowing Apple logo.

 

They seem to be quite happy with Aluminum now. At one point, Al was reserved for the pro-lines while the regular products were plastic (iBook, MacBook, iMac, etc).

Personally I would just want something that "felt" solid. The resin that Lenovo uses feels pretty strong, while some Dells I've handled felt like Fischer Price toys.

So if they went back to resin / plastic for one of their lines, I'd be OK so long as it was strong.

 

I'm not sure how it "makes sense" any more than it "makes sense" for their entire product line to be uni-body brushed aluminum.

 

My only problem with plastic laptops would be: if they're white.

A couple of white iBooks/MacBooks I recall using or seeing... they would get scratched. No big deal, except for the scratches would get dirty and practically stain. So you'd have a white laptop with gray and beige streaks across it.

On an iMac, it didn't matter much because how often does THAT get scratched. But a white plastic laptop is a scratch magnet.
