Nobody, but nobody, sits around obsessing over what Michael Dell may say next or announce at a trade show.

Michael Dell's machines don't run as well as Steve Jobs' machines. That's partially due to the OS each company uses, but more due to industrial design. Dell just doesn't really give a damn.

I feel sorry for your kids though. Once you buy it and try it out, they might never get another chance to use it.

LOL - that is exactly what I was thinking. I just got a new black MacBook, I LOVE it!

I still think it’s a little cheesy to charge more for black. Pretty lappies though. And the buyers keep buying them so what do I know?

I noticed that RAM prices at OWC for their better quality RAM for Mac Pro just fell. The 4GB kit (2x2GB FB-DIMMs) dropped from $470 to $450.

Wonder how low it'll go. Everyone who needs it should be shopping for memory.

Well, the only difference is that the HD on the black MacBook is larger.... So you are paying about $200 for 40 extra gigs and the "nifty" black color.

The OLEDs also have better battery life (by about 25%) and allegedly give more even illumination. (I haven’t seen one yet so I can’t comment directly on that one).

I think Steve would have added them whether Greenpeace wanted him to or not.

Yes, I agree — that was merely a prediction of the behavior of Greenpeace.
