The good news is that the MacBook shipped today. The bad news is that it shipped from China. I’m SUPPOSED to get the laptop on Thursday, but I’m not all that confident that will happen. I’ve heard horror stories of people buying the MacBook Pros and they just sit in customs (in China) until the Chinese officials feel like clearing it. Anyway, we’ll see. Keep your fingeres crossed for me!
I’m going to order a couple of these for Chez Brown. We went to the Apple Store today – MISTAKE! As soon as I saw the white MacBook and played around with it both Kelly and I were smitten. The black MacBook ended up looking a bit dull somehow; not shiney and glossy like a black iPod rather flat black like a black primered Chevy Nova. I don’t know, it just didn’t look right.
And with your discovery that you can order a white one with the same hardware for less $$, well, I can’t see a compelling reason to order a black one (other then to tell them apart).
Good luck with the new laptop!
