The glossy screen thing: Get over it. With an LED-screen it *really* doesn't matter that much. Compared to your old, washed-out matte screen, the new displays simply look gorgeous - under 99 to 100 percent of all lighting conditions. I'm working in retail, and if you put a 17" MBP (without LED screen) next to the MacBook Air or the 15" MBP with LED-screen, it's just no match. Matte or glossy.

That reminded me of something, I wish they kept the Black MacBooks, they were pretty sweet and I think they look a lot better than the white MacBook. I used to have a PowerBook G3 Wallstreet and I loved having the only black mac around (except that it had an upside down apple). So why can't the old MacBook option that they have be black?

Is that an earnest question? The answer is: Because they want to sell you the better model instead.

That and I was told Steve Jobs does not like the color black.

How that explains his NExT computer and previous Macbooks/Powerbooks . . . is anyone's guess. That being written, the black MacBooks just look cool!

I for one very much welcome the aluminium MacBooks. They certainly look cooler than the black MacBooks, and the highend model finally has backlit keys, which I enjoy very much on my MacBook Air.

No! Nothing is COOLER than the black MacBook!!!

All of the Cool People [Tm.--Ed.] know that. . . .

P.S. Though lit keyboard reads kind of cool . . . but it will be more cool on a black laptop.

Is that a dare??

The black MacBook, I'm sorry, is a bit like a bad car with new rims. It's still the MacBook with the dim screen and the GMA X3100. True: The black material is _much_ cooler than the white. (Not 200$ cooler, though.) But my MacBook Air kicks any black MacBook's a$$ anytime, anywhere. (In regards of style, not processing power.)

But it IS processing power!

And storage!

Face it, the Chicks think the Black MacBook is "t3h sex."

P.S. And I have FireWire!11!
