Why is there a price difference between the black and white models?

White Macbook 2.2GHz, 1GB RAM, 160GB Drive: $1374
Black Macbook 2.2GHz, 1GB RAM, 160GB Drive: $1499

Are there some hidden specs making the black macbook superior to the white model, or what is causing the price difference?

Mac Mini 1.42GHz, Mac OS X (10.4.11), 1GB RAM

Not really price gouging....just supply/demand economics.

The matte black plastic does act a little different then the glossy white...it could be more than just color. But it has nothing to do with what's inside.
