Hi Martin
Black, but why? From my early reckonings, I could buy a white
upgraded to 100gb drive / 512mB Ram for $2104 Edu Au, but a black
80gb / 512mB RAM costs $2159.30 Edu Au. Que, Manuel? Or is it too
late in the night for me to comprehend? What's missing?

The same reason why people used to spend the extra $2000 for a 500
Pismo over a 400 - coolness :-) The 500 wasn't that much
quicker.........
But at least it *was* quicker. Now the choice is a black Macbook at
$2160 edu ($2399 retail) or an otherwise identical white model for
$1970 ($2189 retail).
$200 for black plastic. That's a shame - at least the iPod is the
same price for black or white.
There is now a single page comparing all the notebook models:
