Uhh, it saved you $200. A brick of aluminum compared to a brick of plastic is a bit more expensive.

Not good!=((
I bought the white Macbook unibody at macsaigon.com on 08_12_2009 (one-year warranty.) I use it with care, as you can see there’re no scratches on the lappy’s cover, but while still be in the warranty period the rubber cover behind the machine was completely peeled!
This error is not by users but by the producers
I brought it to macsaigon for warranty. There they took it and said they would report to Apple for solution. And I do not get feedback about the warranty so far.
Also no one phones me to inform about how the situation would be answered from the Apple
I decide to post this clip on youtube, for the technician staff from Apple can check out and try to fix this bug, and for anyone who intend to buy this series can consider carefully!!!

I have the new White Unibody MacBook and I also have the new Unibody 13″ MacBook Pro. I find that the display on the MacBook is better than the display on the MacBook Pro. As for the scratching, I have noticed some scratching but it’s livable. There are finally plastic covers for the new MacBooks that look pretty cool and there is also Decal Girl for a decal to cover the top. The thing that I don’t like is the sharp front edge. It begins to hurt after using the trackpad for awhile. You also have to be careful of how you clean the display. There isn’t the glass cover that the MacBook Pro has.

The funny thing is Engadget’s review of the white unibody brought out the same flaws as slashgear, but took it more to task for the shortcomings. Their advice was to stay at home on Friday nights and save up the money for a 13″ macbook pro instead of skimping on the macbook.

Nice comparison. It’s a shame the gloss and scratch resistance on the body hasn’t been improved upon.

The outside looks cheap.
