White MacBook "dingyness" vs. Black MacBook "shinyness" | Thread profile

Yeah. The inside of the macbook is a darker grey colour than the outside, though the Outside is true white. It sounds a lot worse in words than it looks, it's actually very beautiful and matches well with the rest of the laptop =]

I wore most of the keys and the trackpad down pretty good on my iBook, so I bought one of the aluminum keyboards for my MacBook and now the keys will last much longer.
