So, pretty straightforward, here. I'm buying myself a Macbook in the next week or so and I can't decide which colour to get. Price isn't a deciding factor. I've just been having a hard time choosing and thought I'd ask what everyone else thinks. :)

Macs and Apple in general suck ass, but if I were to succumb to the House That Job(s) Built I'd have to get an ebony Mac
-
The black ones look slicker, but you're paying like an extra 200 beans for a color. Just go with white.
Also, Phoenix Dark sucks.

In the beginning Gates said "let there be billions."

I voted for the white one, just because that's what I would do because of funds. But if it really doesn't matter to you, then go with the black one- it's swank.
-
The white one has SERIOUSLY performed better in tests than the black one.

Another young white girl with trendy glasses is buying a Macbook. I applaud your efforts to distance yourself from the norm.

the black one runs faster

Willco+Drinky's posts= :lol :lol :lol
-
The black one is hot, runs faster, and can hide in darkness well

Well, ZomBz ruined that joke.
But I was actually being serious, the white one performed better in tests. (http://www.macworld.com/weblogs/editors/2006/06/macbooktests/index.php?lsrc=mwrss)
After testing the white 2GHz MacBook and comparing the results to the published scores of the black model, we saw small performance differences in many of the tests, with the edge going to the white model in most cases. Retesting leveled out a few tests (though I can’t explain why), but still shows the white 2GHz model performing better than the black model, most notably in our Compressor MPEG-2 Encoding test and our iMovie test applying the Aged video effect to a clip.

They aren't using those processors anymore, Willco.

I thought it was only the MacBook Pro's that got upgraded.
-
MacBooks got updated like last week.
I kinda want to get a MBP and a MB cause the MB seems like it would be better to actually sit on my lap.
-
Yeah, the Macbooks got upgraded to Core 2 Duos. Also, now the price difference between the black one and a white one with the same specs is only $50 more for the black.

Really? Ok, if that's the case then go for the black. It used to be like a $200 difference or something absurd like that.

Put velcro on the ceiling.

BE DIFFERENT, BE BLACK.
-
Oh I was unaware that it was only 50 bucks more now. That's not that bad.
Also, Bacon, now that that app is out that controls fan speed, the MBPs aren't as hot as grills anymore.

black.

Yeah, I heard about that. It looks like the vents are bigger now too. I'll probably place an order in December.
-
Unless you want to spend an extra $200, go with the white.
-
What's your major concern with the color? Smudging or dirt/dust collection? I got a white MB, the only problem I have is I have to work to keep it lint-free and pretty.
