I've done my research, I've narrowed it down to the laptop I'm going to buy.

Now, which color?

lawl, well, I'd pick white actually for not showing dust and crud on the actual laptop, but black is better

There isn't one, because that's a false statement.

Well, my friend has a white one, and he loves it (Rich son of a b!tch didn't even pay for it) and I think it looks pretty sleek. Get the white.

If you work around them then you probably already know but it has a larger harddrive and thats probably the main reason.

yeah, in my opinion, that's just how they *attempt* justify the price
they made the black one the only one with the upgraded HDD for a reason - $200 for 20 GB? come on

Go with the black one even though the white one is more attractive. It seems the white ones are having some early discoloration problems.

Maybe the plastic is naturally white and they have to add colorants to make it black

The black looks cooler I think.

White!

White hides scratches pretty well, and.. it's shiny!

Black is not glossy, but rather matte. It's just a thin layer of paint that people have reported chips off, and scratches easily. Not shiny = instant loss.

EDIT: Oh yeah, white is cheaper too.

http://www.tuaw.com/2006/06/13/white-macbooks-turning-yellow/2#comments

discussing the tendency for some of the plastics on the new white MacBooks to turn yellowish after just a few weeks, I initially dismissed it as one or two overly-sensitive Mac users complaining about the inevitable hand grease, dirt, and muck that all of our laptops experience during their average use. At least that's what I thought until I saw the pictures [2] [3] [4] [slideshow] and started reading the many posts from many users experiencing the same problem.

This discoloration is not dirt and cannot be cleaned by anything that people have tried, and the list is extensive: iKlear and similar cleaners, hot water, Windex, diluted bleach, a Magic Eraser...the list is long.

So far the Black's have had no discoloration problem

Because the people on this forum don't keep up to date news on apple products.

they'll get the discoloration thing figured out by the next generation
