black. I have a white one and I’m happy with the way it runs, but not really with the color I got. The white one is made of a completely different material and the white’s scratch much easier than the black’s (on the outside, not the screen) Also, the white’s stain easily. I literally wash my hands almost every time before I get on mine and it still stains. A mr. Clean magic eraser would probably clean it right up, but I hadn’t gotten around to it. But re material on the black is much better. I never touched a black one until after I already had my white one, and regretted getting white since. Also, the blacks come with better specs. If you put those same specs on a white one, they’re exactly the same laptop in different colors, and black is $50 more. But well worth it.
