Why not make it of "basalt" like those gitzo tripods?
It's dark grey, but actually it's fiberglass, so it can be made as smooth as the current iBook, or less so. Strong enough to make yachts out of. And it's cool grey that looks much like carbon fiber (but is as cheap as fiberglass)
"Basalt" is just fiberglass contaminated with iron compounds. Other contaminants will yield different colors.
Who knows, maybe Apple will have black and white as standard MacBook color choices... then offer a color option for an extra $100-150 for red, blue, silver, etc. as a direct from the Apple Store exclusive??

What's your fascination with eating shit?
Lie down on the couch and let it all out

Apple patented that a year ago. I've been waiting for them to use it.
