    The Inquirer had pics on the final product a while ago... (from CeBit)
    [xspblog.com]

    The stuff you guys posted back then was probably a 3D render... not Photoshop.

    I don't think it's too bad though.
    But, truth is, I don't like glossy surfaces too much... they get dirty and greasy too easily, and I'd hate having to clean my desktop everyday.

    I gotta join the chorus--the matte black is way classier than the original prototype. The shiny one looked like something from an '80s Battlestar Gallactica episode.

    The glossy finish on the first look made it look cheaper and even more gimicky imo.

    I think this give it a more refined look which balances the sorta outlandish design.

    @omgwtflolbbqbye: no you're wrong there. In this case the gloss completed the look. However, without the gloss it doesn't look even half as good.

    Also, they appear to have removed the optical drive bay cover, above the HDD area, compare to the previous image.

    I like this a lot more than if it was gloss. I recently bought a HP DV3 and returned it because I hated the gloss finish so much. And then I bought a Lenovo X200. And... shock; it's matte and it doesn't look like a toy!

    Just because all I use it for is checking Jalopnik and Gizmodo doesn't mean I can't look like I'm takin' care of business.

    How is it cooled? I don't know about you, but I know body suits can be darn stifling. This looks like a pretty tight form fitting hot box to me.

    @ripfire: To save desk space? If your motherboard and case support 6+ 3.5" drives why not put them in there. I've got 4 HDDs in mine right now and I'd gladly chuck 2 or 3 more in there if I had the cash.

    1.) I would much rather have a matte finish on my computer than a glossy one.

    2.) I'd pick this up in a heartbeat if it were under $500 and not the $690 it's supposed to be priced at

    Glossy black finishes have nearly reached the same level of bleh as the faux silver plastic look. Manufacturers and industrial designers have taken note and the trend is now turning to matte, sweet-fingerprint-unfriendly matte.

    I really prefer the matte finish. Sure the glossy is all nice and shiny, but not after a week of fingerprints and pet hair.

    Gotta disagree with you Chen. I think the matte has a much much better look to it. All that shiny nonsense everywhere made it a mess.

    @lostarchitect: The highly reflective surfaces made it hard to really appreciate the details of the case. It was so shiny that all you got was a giant lumpy flared monolith.
