Hello to all great people here,

I am planning to get a Black Macbook very soon. Why Macbook Black you ask? It's simply because I think the Macbook Black will less prone to get dirty compared to the Macbook White (and also of the cool looking factor). This is purely what I think and it might not right.


Allvin pointed me in the Macworld Expo 2008 topic this morning that Black Macbook can get 'even dirtier & smudges everywhere'. I just want to get your opinion regarding an option between the MB062ZP/B (white, 120GB - RM4,759) vs MB063ZP/B (black, 160GB - RM5,459).

I'm not sure regarding this issue. Is it true that the Black Macbook can get dirty as the White Macbook.

Which is a better option in term of value for $$ and which one is a better option I should go for (IF money is not an issue), Pro and Con.

I hope you can share your experience so I can make a better choice.

Thanks in advance rclxms.gif

I'm not scared at all but get a little heart attack see that kind of Macbook condition. I just want to gather some knowledge regarding the pro and cons for both two now.

I do read from the Macbook thread, there is a solution to remove the white color from the Macbook white using a liquid or something.

Thanks for all the reply, appreciate that. I want to hear more smile.gif

tinkerbel, you didn't get my point. I'm creating this topic to find out which is the best between the white & black. I didn't ask which is the best between Mac, HP, Dell, Lenovo, Thinkpad etc.

Thanks for your concern.

I actually preferred the Black one but since I get to know the Black Macbook cab easily get dirty with smudges, now I am confused.

Seeing in the gallery at macblackbook.com (link provided by shenz817), I see a lot of smudges on the Macbook. They advice to clean the greasy hand 1st before touching the Macbook. Really need to take extra precaution like that.

Yes it's a color preferences and also because it look more 'cool'.

Look like the Black & White both sharing pro & cons regarding smudges, get dirty. So the main thing is just be careful when using it regardless it's a White or Black right? Always wipe it after use, wash hand before use it etc.


But White because it have a smoother surface, it more prone to get scratches even though you're already be extra careful with it.
