It doesn't matter if you're black or white.

Actually I have to ask myself that question soon. I'll need a MacNook for college, but I want a white one. But I still need fair performance, which comes only in black. So I guess I'll trade off some processor speed for the sake of a MacBook that matches my iPod and iMac.

I agree. A couple hundred extra to have black is ridiculous. I'm just bummed that when i bought my white in july 06' I forgot to tell them that I wanted the 80gig HD. But it didn't matter when I got home and opened the box.

I got the 2ghz white but would have gone for the black if it was glossy.

If you get the latest models, they are identical in performance, processor speed and RAM The black comes with a larger hard disk.

I have both. They're the same speed, just one is more difficult to find in the dark.

I have that preference to. It's just unfortunate that the extra $1000 preferred to spend it self on rent and utilities. Stupid money!:radioacti

Gotta be the Apple Iconic White. Black looks greasy. White is Apple's signature color. My wife has a black hp laptop and a black dell desktop at work, and a black blackberry, and my black cellphone, wow now that I look around, my TV is black too, so is my house phone. What's white though? Only my beautiful Macbook!!!!!

I spent ages admiring the black one (odd as it was the white ibooks that first attracted me to Apples portable computers) - when it came down to buying one (after a lot of thinking, um'ing and ah'ing) I went for the white one and I love it.

I'll be honest and admit that should the black ones have come with black power brick, cables, remote etc - then I may have gone that route.

I love my white macbook - white is really nice and is unusual (compared to the massive numbers of silver/grey or black laptops out there) and so far (touch wood) it doesn't attract as much dirt as I feared it might.

Personal preference at the end of the day.

Get the white one

I didnt have to think twice when i purchased my white macbook(didnt like the flat/mat look if the black)
But if the black macbook was shiny like the video or the first generation ipod nanos then the decision would have been tough............hmmmmmmmmmmm shiny black mac book

We can't all be gorgeous KoDorSean!

Does anyone else think the Black MB's look a little smaller? I know they're not but a couple times in the store when they've been lined up next to each other I've had to have a second look, just to make sure.
