(Ignore all the extra benefts with the white X1, just based on the console. Also with the white console the kinect stays black, idk why they didn't change that.)
Personally I prefer white consoles because they attract less dust and they just look cleaner. If you get finger prints or dust on a white console it doesn't matter because most of the time you can't see it, but on a black console it sticks out. I hope later on the white X1 becomes available to everyone.
Edit: Thanks to JayWood2010: "Good news is that MSFT said that sometime in the near future they may make a white model for the public as well."
