One issue, however, is that one of the iPhone 5 reviewers said that the black is already starting to show wear on two test units. Meaning that it was not a fluke...
Maybe this is why there has not been a black MacBook Pro.
It honestly would look more complete, with the black front and all. I would buy it, next time I'd feel the need to upgrade. Meanwhile if it does release next year, I will end up admiring it when I see people with it.
