I presumably still have mine, though it's probably hidden away in storage somewhere. Why I as a poor grad student in 2007 thought it was worth it to pay extra just for the black finish, I'm not sure. I was new to the Mac back then ... funny to think that I went from anti-Apple as a college student to a dedicated Mac user for fifteen years.
The new midnight color is a dark blue rather than black. It's still cool, though.
Close enough. I love sleek, dark, brushed-metal computers. Looks very cool.
I called it "NeXTBook".
I'm a little sad they didn't have an actual dark color available for the M1 MBP (just light silver and medium silver), I assume it'll be offered on the next MBP.
