Nice review of the MacBook series at Ars (this is my next machine, period).

Checked it out today,...looks pretty nice. If you try to build any of the smaller laptops on Dell or through Toshiba you will end up spending about $200+ more and get much less.

You have to pay a $200 premium to get the black mat version, though after seeing it, I would have to fork it over.

Yeah I like the black too. Good point about the other machines, once you get them comparable the Mac price "difference" does vanish (or as you note become better for the Mac).

I think the exact difference of an upgraded white one versus a black one with the exact same components is $150. So yeah its 150 bucks JUST FOR THE COLOR, but I agree, might be worth it.

I saw on at the apple store today. They are quite nice. They have a throw back to the "Wallstreen" model feel about them.

I didn't even realize they came in black until I saw one sitting there.
