    Nice! Now only if they could do something about that awful keyboard it would be perfect.

    *$8000 if you get the 2 GB RAM upgrade from Apple.

    I've had my fill of the matte black Macbook, and am now enjoying the nice brushed aluminium, whatwhat.

    @Kaiser-Machead: I would like to see black aluminum. Though I am pretty content with the current aluminum ones (well mine is a MBP from last summer).

    @snoop_dizzle: They look great coming out of the box, but over time, dirt and fingerprints gravitate towards it. Every spec and smudge stands out, and unless you just don't care at all, it can turn you into an OCD clean freak. On top of that, the wear this thing will eventually get will start exposing the bright aluminum underneath, namely around the USB and Firewire ports, and possibly the access panel on the bottom (I assume this is most recent, so may not have one).

    Bah, both the matte black and the aluminum looks are old hat. I want something new! Step up, Apple!

    @Kaiser-Machead: I'm over the brushed aluminum. I'd like to see some anodized colors.

    @Steve_W: Well I'm sort of a newbie on the aluminum ownership, so you ol' metal vets can make room for us plebes who haven't had it for very long :P


    @weatherman: I as well, but I don't think that'll ever come to the MBP.


    If Apple ever makes an actual netbook, no doubt THAT would come in an array of colors.

    I like it, but for that price I will just buy a normal MB Pro, disassemble/remove everything, and have it painted by a pro.


    Only problem is that touchpad.

    @Dr.Danger is on the motherf**king internet: Funny, that's exactly what colorware is/does. They buy MacBooks, take them apart, and apply professional automotive and other finishes to the casings. Or, you send them your product and they do the same. So, do you mean you'd get a colorware or not?

    @ludwigk:


    Maybe what he's trying to say is that the markup on these things is atrocious. A high-end MacBook Pro is around $2,700, meaning the paint job is over 3 grand.

    @superberg: Exactly. There are professional sign/graphic painters who know about painting metals and things like this for cheaper then that. I am also a certified Mac tech, so it is no problem to take it apart properly.
