My dad is allowing me to get a new macbook ..

i wanna ask u guys which shud i choose not in terms of colours all those..

the white or black??

Black is the high end one in MB range. Get the best if your budgets allow.

i'd say get the white macbook, i mean the middle range one, if you are not too particular about the colour of your macbook. The only difference between a black book and a white macbook is the HDD. One is 160GB whereas the latter 120GB, the price is a 700 bucks difference though. Have a thought about that

u tink many ppl will buy wat if u , u'll get wat?/

@lilredridinghood,
It's more worth getting the Whilte MB, unless u really like the Black one. Speaking of which, i wonder if it's possible to change the casing of the White MB into a black one ? *grins*

TS, it is best to tell us what are you going to do with the MacBook. Gaming?

surfing and stuff nt gaming,,

And what kinda 'stuff'?

Would love to own a black book, unique really...one of the reasons, but after looking at complains like smudges on the surface of the lappie. Then white for me.

Stuff that is not gaming like watching DVD?

Better get the cheapest MacBook.

Dont get the cheapest. Got budget to spend , do stretch the budget and get a better one. Get a faster one with more HDD capacity. Then you are set !

yea. listen to prasys.

Btw, one big big downside if you get the cheapest 1. It is the drive. It is a stupid combo drive. I dono what with apple. And seriously, any brand of newly laptop or even those low-budget laptops do equip with dvd writer. Combo drive ONLY allow you to burn CD, but not dvd. Dvd only for reading.

Sure thing. If budget allows.

Noted. The combo drive is a joke (Apple is seriously joking. Even a 2.5k laptop has at least a Single Layer DVD Burner). Its not worth it. Bear in mind , although its possible to replace the Combo drive to say a DVD Burner , but its not worth it.

I went and look at the two MBs today. The black one has got a really really nice feel to it. But yeah, it smudges real easily. So try and not eat KFC while using it.

The white one looks awesome as well, but it's glossy on the outside = easily scratched and the scratch will be prominent if the cover is shined against the light.

I'm still in a limbo on whether to get the black or white. Gonna get it maybe next week before the new year.

Come now, you get a computer to use it right? Not to show off how shiny and unused it is.

To be honest, one can be too critical over the cheapest MB, 3999 may not give you a super drive, 2.2GHz, or a bigger HDD space....*Okay like tinkerbel, starting to sound defensive, but how much do you need to get an external DVD dual layer burner? Not the Apple one mind you, topping up extra $$$ to replace your 80GB to a 120GB with an extra by your side.

To the TS, frankly speaking, I bought this MB for the sake of owning one and to get to learn something new before proceeding to my dream MBP. Don't listen to me, I'm just being defensive.

If budget permits, get the one with the super drive

It really depends on your personal usage. I barely burn any DVDs. If I need to, I'll get an external drive in an exclosure. Though it would be a nice and convenient to have it built in.

IMHO, the price difference would be justified with a max-ed out RAM and probably a nice 22" display to view your "stuff"

my blardy sony notebook 6999 doesnt come with dvd burner

for me, i will get the black one or a mbp if possible once the sony kaput

i'll vote for the mid range macbook as well. the idea of having a combo drive to my current macbook is really depressing. haha~
