Indeed.  My white macbook was the same specs exactly as the black (larger HD
then a standard white macbook along with a bit more ram I think) and it was
less expensive then the "base" black macbook.  I also wasn't too jazzed
about the black macbook when is saw it.  It looked too "flat".

But if my white book is going to discolor I'd prefer a black macbook that
stayed black.
