Has anyone ever really determined why the black model is $200 more? Does it just cost more because they feel like charging more? Is there any performance/feature difference?
Ignacio @ May 15th 2007 9:18AM
It has a larger hard drive. If you upgrade the white model to match the black model specs, the black model is "only" 50 dollars more (notice the quotes). Personally I like the white model better.
Also, the article is wrong:
"run up to 2.16GHz if configured"
No, there is no need to configure it to get a 2.16GHz model, these are three pre-configured models:
- 2.0GHz Core 2 Duo, 1GB RAM, 80GB HD, Combo Drive, white - $1099
- 2.16GHz Core 2 Duo, 1GB RAM, 120GB HD, SuperDrive (8x dual-layer burner), white - $1299 (not sure about this price, store is still down)
- 2.16GHz Core 2 Duo, 1GB RAM, 160GB HD, Superdrive (8x dual-layer burner), black- $1499 (not sure about this price, store is still down)

When it was released the black MacBook was the only mac model with a glossy screen (though that isn't the case anymore). And it looks pretty slick in black...Oh and the finish is different too. I can't describe it. You'll have to take a look at one. Anyway the extra cost is basically a premium for owning a cooler looking mac. To help justify the cost, Apple also sticks in a slightly larger hard drive.

Remember market clearing price? Apparently, black has a higher one. They wont lower their price unless people dont buy the overpriced one. I own a mac, and will deffinately not get the black one when I upgrade before boot camp!
