[QUOTE="nikoslav, post: 990112, member: 141836"] Because the combination of black and silver is the exact nondescript color combination that 99% of the cheap non-apple products have. The way apple is slowly letting go of the white that was timeless and distinguished is scary. Design-wise, they are moving in the wrong direction. In a way it seems they are confused - the iMac's keyboard - featuring single block of aluminium with the white keys is the exact sweet spot of apple's design, but they pair it with the combination of aluminium and black ? They are doing this because silver and black sells more than white, but that doesn't mean it's better. Companies like Sony, Toshiba or Samsung, whose designs are driven by customer demand and quantity production don't care about distinguishable design and timelessness, But apple always did. I just makes me sad. If the keys are interchangeable though, I'm gonna get the anti-glare macbook pro, swap the keys and thus get rid of the black. Come on, nobody has their macbook pro paired with the wireless keyboard ? Just plop out the keys of each one and see if they fit ! How hard is that ? [/QUOTE]
