Led_Zeppelin 06-12-2006, 09:11 PM I've done my research, I've narrowed it down to the laptop I'm going to buy.
Now, which color?

Drunken_Shinobi 06-12-2006, 09:51 PM Get the black one, it seems to look better than the white one.
diet poop 06-12-2006, 10:26 PM black
Heyyou27 06-12-2006, 10:44 PM Where's the option "I don't care, Apple's products suck."
Frookie 06-12-2006, 11:24 PM lawl, well, I'd pick white actually for not showing dust and crud on the actual laptop, but black is better
Led_Zeppelin 06-13-2006, 04:00 PM Where's the option "I don't care, Apple's products suck."
There isn't one, because that's a false statement.
Heyyou27 06-13-2006, 04:22 PM There isn't one, because that's a false statement.I won't lie, it has a sharp look, but looks are all it has.

isharted 06-13-2006, 04:23 PM man, i want a macbook so bad
i work on/with them every day in my job
personally, i like the white better - and the black is rediculously more expensive :\
rehabisforquitters 06-13-2006, 04:28 PM 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.
Jellyman 06-13-2006, 04:38 PM Go for the white.
NOWAK 06-13-2006, 05:38 PM man, i want a macbook so bad

If you work around them then you probably already know but it has a larger harddrive and thats probably the main reason.
Heyyou27 06-13-2006, 05:59 PM personally, i like the white better - and the black is rediculously more expensive :\
They charge more for the color of plastic?
Jellyman 06-13-2006, 06:26 PM They charge more for the color of plastic?
Now thats screwed up!
Drunken_Shinobi 06-13-2006, 06:52 PM They charge more for the color of plastic?
Yes I don't get that either.
NOWAK 06-13-2006, 07:01 PM White=60GB 5400-rpm Serial ATA hard drive
Black=80GB 5400-rpm Serial ATA hard drive
Drunken_Shinobi 06-13-2006, 07:15 PM There's one explaination.
Heyyou27 06-13-2006, 08:24 PM White=60GB 5400-rpm Serial ATA hard drive
Black=80GB 5400-rpm Serial ATA hard drive
5400RPM Hard drive = Garbage
Why on EARTH would you waste money on a MAC!
Jellyman 06-13-2006, 09:08 PM Tell me about it.
isharted 06-14-2006, 01:55 PM 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
if you voted white, check this out:

Bosman310 06-15-2006, 12:06 AM **pick The Black One**
paranoia 06-17-2006, 11:16 PM Go black,and do not forget to get a heatsink.
Drunken_Shinobi 06-18-2006, 12:43 AM I don't know if they go in the Mac laptops, but oh well.
Get teh black one it's different.
MrNaPaLm32 06-18-2006, 04:06 AM 5400RPM Hard drive = Garbage5400RPM drive = only thing you'll find in a laptop.
minus maybe the uber high end ones.
terrelbot 06-18-2006, 09:34 AM Go with the black one even though the white one is more attractive. It seems the white ones are having some early discoloration problems.
Willy_Wonka 06-18-2006, 09:56 AM 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.
Jellyman 06-18-2006, 12:15 PM Go john.
MeTal CaNdYcaNe 06-18-2006, 03:22 PM White.
Don't forget to get some of those fottie things that stick on the back of the bottom so it's off the table...less heating.
paranoia 06-18-2006, 09:12 PM Yeah.The Macbook Pros are very,very hot.
EDIT:Changed my mind.Go white.
Jellyman 06-18-2006, 09:39 PM Go Paranoia.
Drunken_Shinobi 06-19-2006, 12:57 AM We all know black looks better...
isharted 06-19-2006, 10:45 AM Yeah.The Macbook Pros are very,very hot.
EDIT:Changed my mind.Go white.
macbook pros are only in silver :P
terrelbot 06-19-2006, 11:11 AM 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
Jellyman 06-19-2006, 12:41 PM Then why is everyone choosing white?
terrelbot 06-19-2006, 02:08 PM Then why is everyone choosing white?
Because the people on this forum don't keep up to date news on apple products.
Jellyman 06-19-2006, 04:32 PM Even with the links? weird.
Drunken_Shinobi 06-19-2006, 05:00 PM Because the people on this forum don't keep up to date news on apple products.
Hey, I'm the one supporting black here, but still I'm not up to date with this stuff.
isharted 06-20-2006, 12:20 PM Then why is everyone choosing white?
because it is the one that looks better, in my opinion
they'll get the discoloration thing figured out by the next generation
Led_Zeppelin 06-25-2006, 11:49 PM I think I'm gonna go with white.
Atomic1fire 06-26-2006, 03:08 PM macbook also has quite a few defects people experience and btw it runs realy hot when you put it on your lap so it isnt a laptop http://www.appledefects.com/wiki/index.php?title=MacBook
I think I'm gonna go with white.
That's not the first time you've said that, is it?
Led_Zeppelin 06-28-2006, 09:49 AM I said that when I went after your mother.
Jellyman 06-29-2006, 10:44 PM hilarious.
