Where is the outcry?
Hello,
Newby here, so sorry if this has been covered already...
Where is the outcry from the Mac community, and even the impartial computer review media on the $150 Macbook price hit for simply the color black. ( As I'm sure it's known here, the 20 gig upgrade is only worth $50)
I can't believe Apple hasn't gotten some bad press on this. I talked with an Apple sales phone rep about it, and he says it bugs all of them too. They get asked all the time on what the extra $200 gets them and they can't really justify the cost to customers. He seemed downright embarrassed.
I want that Blacky, but I feel downright reamed by it.
Thanks

i don't know if you'd think the $150 difference (besides the $50 20gig upgrade) is worth it.
Ok that argument is a bit far fetched but I wonder if it would make them change their mind.
My guess as to what happened is that they discovered via the ipod that black sells better than white and obviously they couldn't adjust the ipod prices. But they probably didn't want the same thing to happen with the laptops.
I personally prefer the white model.
It's racist is what it is. In America where there horrifically is still abhorrent racial prejudice in the 21st century, it is obscene that color difference alone should warrant such a high difference in price.

Bigot.
Where is the outcry from the Mac community
Actually, there was plenty of discussion about it, but the general conclusion is:
If you want black, you have to pay for it, so there.
And really, I don't see what's wrong with that. If you don't think that black is worth the extra $150, don't buy it. Simple as that.
If you want that "blacky" trust me you'll pay for it and Apple knows it. Many people have/will!
and even if you dont wanna pay for the paint, you will still buy a Macbook, so Apple still wins...and btw: the outcry was LOUD at first, but like most things related to corprate pricing (like gas), once the (object) is in the (oraphase). the fact that you are being fucked becomes second nature as the numbing sets in.

touché. Wait am I using that right? That Mac ad got me all confused .

But wait, the BLACK laptop is VALUED HIGHER THAN that "Devil WHITE" model! So all is good isn't it?
Oh and hey, we aren't ***REALLY*** trying to rid America of prejudice just change things up a little (oops I wasn't suppose to say that out in public was I) But no, really, I'm truly happy with the new and improved America v2.0 - it's just too bad more of the Hollywood elite wasn't involved in it's formation they truly do know EXACTLY was best for us simple folk.

Hello,

Have you called Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson?
