I don;t have the black one but I have the white. I did see and handle the black. It is a flat black finish. It is not at all glossy

I'll have to say that I really prefer the look of the white model, which I didn't really expect.

Yeah the black looks kinda dull, and white just seems more Apple Damn I'd love one, becasue I really don't need the GPU in my MBP, don't game on it, but hate to sell and lose money on it. Bah!

The black color almost appears to have been added as an afterthought.

Yes, its a flat black. Its very subjective as to someone's liking it or not. I didn't like it at all

Is the finish akin to the skin of the G3 Pismo??? That is what it looks like.

LookInsideIt.com has a ton of photos of the new Apple MacBook taken apart. The pictures speak for themselves on how well designed the new MacBooks are.

Looks like the thermal paste is much better then the Macbook pro's. I'm so glad they made the HD so easy to access, now I can get the 1299 model and slap a 7200 in there and use the 60 for an external, sweet!
