long term aluminium looks better...white easy to get dirty ah butt, even if you have a bigger HDD and it fails fully laden with your data also no point, better to get an external that has the data copies  .

hey guys, I have ordered my Macbook Pro online yesterday evening and today the item has been shipped out by DHL Express. Kudos to Apple Online Store for the fast processing and friendly personnel. Hopefully can receive it by this week. Can't wait to get my hands on my very first Macbook.

I notice that too. The 7 hours battery life would mean reducing the brightness to less than 50%, turning off bluetooth and wifi. Then I the 7 hours battery life is possible. At 5 hours - the battery life has reduced to 24% normal usage.
