[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 947579, member: 56379"] I think that a black aluminum MacBook/MBP might be a tough one to make that is durable in terms of the finish. Depending on the process to coat the aluminum black...you could at some point have a flaking, chipping, or peeling issue with the black coating. Or after lots of handling (especially the palm areas below the keyboard or where finger tips do a lot of touching or rubbing)...the black coating could get worn thru...then you would have shiny-silvery aluminum areas being exposed thru the black finish. This is where plastic has the advantage when it comes to colors...since the plastic can be the same color throughout it's thickness. - Nick [/QUOTE]
