Right, and then Apple gets hit with another BS class-action lawsuit over the scratches.

Well I tend to take extra care of my laptop, none of them ever had scratches or nicks, but yeah for some people I understand, should have made an option for gloss or matte Like t…

I really like the black one, but I need to see them both in person. I'm definitely not going to pay $150 more for a color. I'll probably wait for Rev 2 when black costs the same a…

to get those scratches out usually all it takes is some brasso and some elbow grease

I like the black because it reminds me of my first mac a 14.1" Powerbook G3 233.

I'll take black - but not until the initial hype dies down and Apple makes black a no-cost option. It'll happen - eventually. I hope. I love the white, but the matte black is ta…

I would like to see what the average battery life is before I make a decision to buy one. I have asked in a couple threads and got an answer of about 3 hours from one person. Plea…

Apple says 6 hours.

Wi-fi uses a lot more power than bluetooth, at least in my experience.

with airport on and bluetooth off on the lowest screen setting (useless in a bright room or outside, but most of the time i'm in dimly lit rooms) i get ~5:15 of battery life on my …

WiFi always drains battery power. Don't know why you'd leave blue tooth on all the time.
