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.

Not true. All MacBooks have had glossy screens from the start (that is, both the white & black models come with glossy screens and glossy screens only). The only models that has the option of glossys/non glossy are the MacBook Pro 15" & 17".
