I bought one this summer and it's awesome.
I was going to go for the black one but couldn't justify the price of the black one over the white one (since I am a student and Apple is essentially charging extra just for colour). So I have the white one, which I received at the discount student price.
I am a neat freak (for the most part), I bought keyboard covers, wrist pads, and a hard, clear shell case. However, you could really survive without these and just Mr. Clean's Magic Eraser instead. I have all these extras on mine because I eat around my Macbook Also, it's white so dirt is more obvious. But fingerprints are more obvious on the black one, so it depends on which one you like less.
All in all, either colour is fine as long as you take care of it.
Yes, the screen is small, but I find that it's perfectly fine. I love the smaller look of fonts and stuff. It's perfect for moving around to school and when traveling.
I didn't get the Macbook for the look, I got it for the operating system and portability. But it's nice that people notice my laptop and comment on it.

Story of my purchase:I went for a HD with 160GB and bought some RAM elsewhere. Once I received my machine, I discovered there was only 120GB on it (so they shipped me the non-upgraded version), and I had the extra RAM instead. I was pissed, since it still came from China and I waited a longer time for the "modified" one (if I had the standard version it would be coming from the U.S. sometimes, or it would take a shorter time). The main reason it bothered me was because there are no Apple stores in the area anyway, and talking to someone about my problem over the phone was kind of annoying and a long process.
So now I am stuck with extra RAM, but I called Apple right away that day I received my machine and they said they would refund the money that I spent on that extra HD space I added at the Apple.ca online store. I would've sent it back but I was going away on a trip and needed my laptop. But at least they immediately refunded me.
The end :)
