Old question: Macbook: black or white?

powersrus · 03-02-2008, 08:47 PM

Hey I was just wondering which macbook you guys thought looked better the black or the white one? This will also help me out because I am still stuck in-between both of them. I went to the apple store hoping the be convinced in to which one to buy in person but that only made it harder. So just let me know what you guys think.

oohhh. Good question. I am also trying to decide. I am going to the Apple store next weekend. I am between the white macbook at $1299 or the black macbook at $1499. I was thinking of getting the black one because it has a larger HD, but I am sure that you can get white with larger HD. I also have a white ibook and I am getting kind of sick of the old white one and the black one would be way different.

But of course, like you, I may get more confused with the decisions when I get to the Apple store!

i just purchased a macbook, and for me it wasnt even a question i knew black.
the black is awesome, although it shows fingerprints easily.
you just whip them with a wet rag, or disinfecting wipes.
it looks so much nicer than the white, although the white is very nice looking.
just my personal opinion

I like the black, but seems most like white because of the fingerprint problem.

I would say Black, hands down.Nearly everyone I know that has a white MB or MBP has nasty stains where their wrists sit next to the keyboard. They're clean people too so I know that it's not because they just get on the computer after rolling around in dirt. Black doesn't show it's age nearly as much either.

I bought the white. It seems that the black shows fingerprints and such. The Macbook is a good choice for a laptop. I believe you will enjoy.

I have the Pro - but if I had the MacBook it would definitely be black. I think the white makes it a bit too white and black is a bit more Apple-ish.

BlackBook ftw

The glowing Apple icon on the back makes it just as good as sechs.
