Red MacBook looks good to be more easily spotted by thieves.

A red macbook would be very cool; I dont know if the iMac would do quite as well (its much larger for such an intense color, its in your home)

If a thief is looking to steal your laptop, I dont think it matters what color it is.

Red would take away from the sleek exclusuve image and look tacky. I think it is a bad idea

Yeah, I think this is a terrible idea (color).

I think the red would look a little goofy... kind of like those Ferrari edition laptops someone was making a few years back. Bad idea.

I remember seeing a fake Red MacBook picture before the launch of MB. It certainly looked pretty good to me. I`d really want Apple to bring back some color in their computers. The translucent eMacs and iBooks looked really amazing. This BLACK n WHITE world is just not what I used to associate with Apple. It`ll be really great if they offer us some more color options. (and for a reasonable price too)

When the rumor of the red nano popped up a few over in the new MB/MBP update thread got a chuckle out of this possibility. I'm sure others thought of it too and I don't know how much credit this rumor carries.

I can see it happening though. And while red for an iPod nano works, I don't think an MB or iMac would be all red. But rather have red features or accents. Perhaps on the Macbook it would just be red on the inside when you flip the screen up or something. I can't imagine too many people would want to buy shockingly red computers... Apple would sell a lot more if they were lime green, or blue or purple. :D

Oh, and I agree with spicyapple... The red would make it more noticeable to opportunistic thieves.

Some Red products have red accents. For instance, red racing stripes on the edges, red apple logo, or red letters on the keyboard. (edit) as I was beaten to the punch in saying :)
