I just recently got the top case of my blackbook engraved and nobody pays attention to the grease marks anymore. ;) (Arguably the engraving may or may not detract from the overall beauty of the laptop, but that's a personal preference to me)
In fact, the only time anyone does pay attention to them are in my flickr photos of the engraving, because I didn't bother wiping off the laptop before taking pics. Oh well.
- rms 18y agoI give Apple a lot of credit for making a product where it is really worth paying extra money for a different color. Has anyone else ever done that? I would get a Black Macbook if I was getting a Macbook.
- silencio 18y agoI was so sick and tired of being able to choose between only silver (the pro laptops) and white (the iBooks) that I vowed my next Apple laptop would be a color I want (black) no matter what. Apple thankfully came out with a black MacBook when I was finally getting sick of my iBook after having sold my PowerBook G4 (it was 17" and too big). I hounded the salespeople at the local Apple store until they had one in stock. It ended up being cheaper than a "professional" paint job (which usually doesn't include the keys) and cleaner than a paint job done by yours truly. The whole laptop is black, including the colored parts of the ports that you can see and the keyboard. I know it doesn't cost them that much to manufacture a black version, but I thought it was well worth it. I don't think many others have been able to pull off charging for a color option, but it's not exactly unheard of (think cars and metallic paint).
