Cool! Thank you for the info and the link. I'll give it a try.

iKlear is the bomb...i prefer the handy little individual wipes so i can keep them in my thin case. I also use marware because i too must have some acid sweat...the paint on the bottom of my mbp (my original one, not my new one) where my wrists sat started to come off. Definitely protecting this one.

As for the topic question:

Neither! Although this is semi-biased because i do a lot of graphics/video/web work on my laptop so i need to have a god (well, decent) graphics card. The fact that teh macbook has integrated graphics kinda makes me want to vomit. I thought integrated graphics had died in the days of windows 98. MacBook Pro FTW!

I'd go with the black one for sure, looks a lot cleaner.

Unfortunately they dont stay that way...eventually the spots start to hang on to the surface

Black go Black, it's thinning and goes with everything. It works at the office or if you have an engagement after work, dress it up with some pearls!

Really all I want to do is remove this reminder...

I think black is the way to go. It matches more with the iPhone, the finger prints can be cleaned easily. I have a friend that has the white macbook and the scratches really show on it and it can easily get stained.

Just a quick FYI for those looking to protect your MB, particularly the white ones. I have a white MB and put the Marware vinyl sheet on the wrist rest after reading about the staining it would get from just general use. I then discovered Applepeelz (www.applepeelz.com) and think that is the best way to go for protecting your laptop. I put the Applepeelz over the rest of the MB, except the wrist rest and it does a fantastic job of keeping the original case clean. Through normal use, you'll probably notice staining on the track pad, button, and other parts of the computer but the stain is only on the mylar protector, not on the main case plastic.

One thing about the Marware protector...it sticks to the wrist rest very well and will easily leave some residue behind if you remove it and that stuff is almost impossible to get up, even with Goo Gone! The Applepeelz stick securely but don't leave any residue when you remove them.

White if you're an apple fanboy

I'd go with black.

I bought a BlackBook almost two years ago, the first model. Love it. The black was perfect and a throwback to my favorite PowerBook of all time: the Pismo from 2000. Now the BlackBook is the best laptop ever. So I just bought another one. Black definitely!
