Though I normally ask for the best model available when requesting test units, I'm not crazy about the MacBook Black, which is the most expensive system in the MacBook line.

The glossy finish is sleek and doesn't attract as many fingerprints or smudges as would something in black; the system is easily one of the best-looking laptops in the industry. The MacBook 13-inch's 5-pound frame and 1-inch thickness means it's also one of the most easily luggable. Whether you're trekking across campus or fighting your way through rush hour, it's a huge advantage to have a MacBook in your briefcase or backpack.
