Cosmetic upgrade to Macbook?

Hi all,

Still chewing over the potential addition of a Mac to the PC family, but is it just me or does the macbook stick out like a sore thumb in a range of aesthitically beutifull products...the macbook (well at least the white one) just looks fugly to me.

What are your thoughts on this and whether it will get a facelift soon?

The rest of the macbooks look the muts nuts (I was even tempted to buy an Air when I saw one in the flesh despite inadequate specs for what I would need)...but the white macbook just looks cheap to me (and it seems the stepchild of the mac lineup which is otherwise visually stunning compared with PC equivalent).

I agree EVH...the MBP looks amazing...I REALLY want one (trying very hard to resist due to the price...hence looking at the macbook range).

...I think the black and white macbooks should be available in all the specs, not white for 'low' and black for 'high'.

Yeah I would be happy with that (and do agree the white still looks better than a lot -but not all- of PC laptops)

...Although they may put it in a titanium case like the air and mbp...

I'd be even happier with that!!!

Those repainted ones do look cool I have to say! Had quite a bit of fun changing the colours on the website to see what it would look like.
