SPACE BLACK or SILVER? M3 MacBook Pro Color Comparison

[@EMKWANREVIEWS]

Which colour do you think is better? SPACE BLACK or SILVER?

[@leo-us-i1r]

Silver

[@brandall101]

I prefer the look of silver, but functionally it loses because it reflects way too much light back. It's glare city with bright overhead lights.

[@booohooooo]

silver... i've always had black laptops/phones. i'm now bored of it. that's why im also probably getting the blue 15 plus. it's not the prettiest blue, but at least it's not black

[@TheRealAfroRick]

Going back to Silver and I hate them for forcing me to do that. Have been using the Gray and it is a much more "functional" color.

[@leo-us-i1r]

@@TheRealAfroRick I thought the same, but silver is too bright, it gives too much glare, my eyes getting tired very quickly. When I look at the screen of space black, muscles in my eyes relax instantly. But I agree that silver is the nicest color, macbook looks best when it is silver

[@joserosales3688]

Silver is a timeless classic

[@matt-eu-poland]

I agree. I picked up Silver this year for that reason. It's classic. Maybe will get another one next year but let's see. I've got that light-pink last year and it was okay but I want m3 now so I ordered silver today. I will start testing it tomorrow 😄

[@ThePanicEnd]

Silver is generic

[@HidrogenoyMau]

I was gonna get Space Black for my 14", but my girlfriend insisted that Silver was the way to go since it will always be the signature Macbook color and will never go out of fashion. She was 1000% right.

[@marrcins]

The silver color of the MacBook was great, but it was... Now, the black color looks much better, because who would want to keep buying MacBooks in the same color over the years?

The Silver is more glamorous looking....but I'm from Hollywood, CA and I tend to search for glamor in my tech products and everything else. The Space Black looks good at first glance but then starts to look too generic.

[@EMKWANREVIEWS]

Couldn’t agree more with that. 👏🏽

[@planeguy95]

I think the silver looks beautiful with this model tbh. Love the contrast of the black Apple logo and black keyboard. I’m kinda bored of the space grey look tbh, but if this was actually a black colour i would’ve been more interested. If MacBook Pros were released in iMac colours then that’d make things more interesting

[@BobMcBurger1]

Going to silver. It’s the OG and doesn’t fade after years of use. Including fingerprints aren’t the worst on it.

Apple should have kept space grey also for the M3 pro and Max. space black is a fiasco, not a selling point!

[@cityspell176]

Space black looks good and is a new look. The wear that shows on the space grey is making me hesitate to buy the space black. The silver is boring but ages better.

Just went to the apple store to check out the space black 16 inch MacBook M3 max and the silver was right next to it. I must say I'm liking the silver. The space black ain't black and kinda looks cheap.

[@lenajafaryassinosman2168]

Team silver all the way.

[@tofuhero90000]

I was set on the black one, but the apple employee got me to get the silver. Mixed feelings but I hope this paint job will last longer than the black.

[@mohamedayman9936]

Silver is better choice especially when it wears, the Space Black will show silver undertones when it scratches + the Silver looks classic and will age better with nice contrast with the black logo.

[@tofuhero90000]

yeah that's what I thought as well. dbrand skins are always a thing if I want to change the color@@mohamedayman9936

[@devilmaycry0917]

space grey was cool, but black and apple just don't fit aesthetically i will buy the silver one

[@tor2919]

Saw both in the flesh today in the Apple Store and actually thought the silver looked way cooler even though I was set on the black

[@EMKWANREVIEWS]

Absolutely 👍🏽 good choice to go with

[@Andrei-yv8fz]

This was my experience as well. The sharp appearance of the silver really surprised me.

[@abdulrahmanjekeni8506]

Silver : more classy, more classic and more visible plus contrast space black : more serious, more focused, and more pro

[@-tom-tronic-]

A MacBook has to be silver. At least for me. I dont care of any other Colors. My first Macbook was silver and my next Macbooks always gonna be SILVER 🤍

[@matt-eu-poland]

Thank you for the video about the silver macbook. You helped me to make the final decision. Much appreciated, thanks!

[@hayleyinpublic]

I bought the M3 Max in Space Black. Aesthetics weren't my main driver when choosing this but I am returning this MacBook for a silver version, and here is why - I had upgraded from a black Razer laptop and the colour felt familiar. My partners first comment was "I thought it was your Razer before I saw the Apple logo".... I then noticed a small scratch on the chassis, and I cannot UNSEE IT. Despite it being tiny, you can see the metal layer and I just know that I will pick up more of these as time goes by, which will age the MacBook even more. Having had the Razer laptop, I knew that dark models could show wear and tear a lot more than lighter laptops, but I had hoped that any marks/scratches would have the same colour base metal (making it less visible). Obviously this isn't the case. I will add that I care more about the internals, and realised I wanted a larger SSD (as MacBook SSD speeds are phenonomal compared to external SSDs) so I will be changing the spec and opting for Silver this time around.

[@EMKWANREVIEWS]

👏🏽 think the point about the darker models showing marks more is very valid.

[@mrdxfeliciano]

I was worried about this. Glad I saw your comment. I will picking silver again.

[@hayleyinpublic]

@@mrdxfeliciano yeah the marks are just not worth it. It’s absolutely fine if marks don’t bother you, I really didn’t think I’d be that bothered but when it started showing more marks I knew id be safer with silver. It is a beautiful colour tho, if I got it again I’d get a skin for the outer chassis.

[@duongtranthai6362]

silver for macbook, black for window, forever silver@@hayleyinpublic

[@shitvideoquality4856]

Thank you for the comment! Especially when you're spending that much on a laptop, the long term durability aesthetically is really important, so the space black sounds a bit too easily to be noticed if scratched

[@janw7157]

The Macbook I'm replacing is 9 years old. I think the black coating may not go that distance and could look horrible after a few years. Thanks for helping me decide on the silver.

[@albertoh.b5171]

Silver is the natural color of the aluminium and i think it is the safest option, scratches will be less of a paint in a future and the contrast with the black keyboard is great, i picked the M3 pro Silver for myself after thinking a lot about it,,, And black looks new now but Silver will never get old

[@homidjohn]

I am OCD. I like the uniformity of Black with its keyboard and display frame but I think Silver is a trusted old classic.

[@EMKWANREVIEWS]

Black is new so it’s getting a lot of love but silver will remain a classic imo

[@josephregallis3394]

I would probably go with silver. I hate cleaning my laptop. I've seen many videos of the Space Black color and it looks like it does need cleaning often!

[@nnnneeeeuuuu]

I went with the space black. I have a white magic keyboard for the ipad and had a silver macbook a loooong time ago. I like how premium space black looks compared to both the old macbook and the white magic keyboard. I don't see myself regretting it for the next 5 years hahah

[@JustinRios]

I bought the space black, but luckily i get an extended period to return it. Im returning mine for the silver. Space black is sleek! But i hate seeing little lint, dust or even little prints on it.

[@EMKWANREVIEWS]

Best choice 👏🏽 congrats on the new MacBook Pro

@@dooovde you can stick to your crusty laptop. Most of us likes our shit clean. And no one cares about what you hate bro. If a laptop looks like some bum used it for years its time to buy a new one. Also don't know anything about purses, but do tell lol

I was also set on space black but after watching many reviews got the silver and I LOVE it ❤

[@relax-vf4zg]

why no option for space grey? its also apple sig color ryt

[@sprinkle9362]

I'm so conflicted with myself. I always get silver and wanted to get black because it reminds me of those classic MacBooks + the silver is super bright when you're trying to use it outside... But as I'm typing this on my space black MacBook, I feel like it just looks too dark and not as classy? I literally don't know what to do now lol.

[@SG-lo2tu]

same thoughts here.. I'd like space black for a change since I've been using silver macbooks for 20 years.. then I think what if I get bored of the black, I'd be stuck with it for many coming years.. haha! silver still seems to be the more ever-lasting color

[@nschle85]

I ordered my M1 Macbook in silver but it came in space gray, which I also love and I think now was the better color. Now I cannot order the M4 in space grey, so I'll take the silver. Does anybody know about scratches in the black color ? how deep is the color in the metal included ?

[@AllenIve3]

Silver because of OCD 😅

[@audreyhuggins8822]

The Space Black looks even more beautiful once you get it home. It's kind of hard in the stores to decide because we are use to "silver." I was set on silver but now it looks dated and reminds me of being in an office.

[@bmwmrt]

I think Apple has just nailed it with the space black color this time. It looks very premium and like a professional’s machine. It’s just the perfect tone of gray. It is like a very dark gray/gunmetal. Not too dark to be a cheap windows pc (still looks like a macbook pro), but at the same time not a too light shade of gray (like space gray) that it won’t look much different than a silver. I can’t imagine how good that space black looks when you use it in dark theme mode, with a dark wallpaper. Long story short, if you are just a huge fan of black, you will love the space black color.

[@arlencarlson]

I would go with Space Black if I was buying. Sticking with my Space Gray M1Pro for the next year or two at the very least.

[@EMKWANREVIEWS]

Nice choice M1 Pro is a solid device. 👏🏽

The 14 inch Space Black. The manager at Best Buy last weekend gave me my 14 inch “M3 Pro 18GB of Ram/1TB in Space Black to me $2,167.19 out the door for my upcoming 30th Birthday. Coming from a 15 inch 4GB of Ram/512 Storage 2013 (Non Retina) MacBook Pro form when I was in college back in 2013. A bit to get use to with the eyes from 15 to 14, but that deal is amazing.

The silver has my ideal spec refurbished. 12/18 36gb and 1tb 14inch pro. But I want space black. Should I go space black and save $400 and get the 18gb ram?

Does the silver color also have the new anti fingerprint coating?

[@Themanthatisi]

Scratches alone would keep me away from dark colors and stay with silver as long as they keep making silver. The metal under the coating, when scratched, is silver.

Silver is awesome and would be my first choice after having macbook pro 2015, but I don't appreciate at all how they made keyboard and especially in-between all in black. yes it's contrast, but I don't think it blends nice and is not as great as on the old silver macbooks (which btw I still love)

[@EMKWANREVIEWS]

I agree 😔

[@MadelnMachines]

I just can't decide. I really wanted space grey. I felt bored of silver and wasn't too into the black keyboard contrast but I do really like the silver lid with the black apple logo. I swear it's a different silver to my late 2008 macbook pro. However, I don't like the space black iphone. I don't really like matte black. Is this the same? I really like it when the light shines on it and it looks sort of metallic on the edges. Does silver look old fashioned? Does black look kind of cheap and flat? I dunno.
