After I saw a demo last Xmas of both a white GN 10.1 and black GN 10.1 side by side the Samsung demo guy pointed out two things. Side by side the white screen looked brighter (it's an optical illusion) simply because of the white surround, also pointed out that the white one showed up finger prints less than on a black one. So although I considered getting the black version his demonstration convinced me to buy the white version, I don't have any regrets.
