Add some colors!

1060 points posted to Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Desktops and Laptops by bajtalan.hunor 02/24/07 **PARTIALLY IMPLEMENTED**

In my opinion nowadays colors like gray or black are getting too old. Why Dell does not follow other companies like Sony or Apple or the tiny Flybook. People like colors because it expresses their personality, not everybody is a businessman or businesswoman, we like colors. For example white is getting more and more popular but there are other trendy colors out there.

So PLEASE ADD SOME COLOR TO YOUR NOTEBOOK AND DESKTOP LINES and make them look like jewelry and not like a piece of plastic, do some cool design.

We like to show a laptop to which people say WOW. So the "WOW STARTS NOW"!

The new Inspiron and XPS notebooks do come in colors now, but stay tuned for more ways to customize the look of your PC.

arclight 02/26/07	The basic color is the same, but the top cover can be re-skinned with skinit http://dell.skinit.com/
bajtalan.hunor 02/26/07	I know it, but it is not the same when you get just a skin, a piece of rubber, plastic or whatever or you have basically
mmeier 06/26/07	Merged Idea originally posted 05/14/07 Different Colors for Notebooks and PCs offer the inspiron and XPS in different colors. e.g. with a cool lamination like HP: http://www.gsm4u.cz/picture/HP_dv6100-front_close.jpg or the sony vaio C different color options: http://neuerdings.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/09/vaio_cseries.jpg< would make the systems more attractive!
kenjennings 06/26/07	Merged Comment originally posted 05/15/07 How about http://dell.skinit.com
mmeier 06/26/07	Merged Comment originally posted 05/15/07 you cant compare the skinit-sticker with e.g. this: http://hpmobility.com/hpDesign.php it has to be designed from the beginning !!!!!
kenjennings 06/26/07	Merged Comment originally posted 05/15/07 Oh wow. That's pretty. It's like etching?
bennish 06/26/07	Merged Comment originally posted 05/15/07 they should expand the skinit thing. have it customizable, but not just a sticker, make it like the hps. but a selectable pattern
expatinasia 06/26/07	Merged Comment originally posted 05/15/07 How about developing a product design which is so attractive, users don't want to cover it up or disguise it? Many posters have pointed to the elegant Apple PowerBook and iBook designs - why can't Dell do it?
bennish 06/26/07	Merged Comment originally posted 05/15/07 we're not talking about covering something up. besides, not EVERYONE likes the mac designs. dell is about INDIVIDUALITY, not doing what His Holiness Jobs the First tells you to like. If I want a wavy pattern, or a zigzag pattern, i should damn well get it. Not some Stormtrooper laptop. ick. Read the post. It's talking about things like hp and vaio, rather different from the apple stuff
kermo 06/26/07	Merged Idea originally posted 05/11/07 More Wow to Inspiron Looks The Inspiron notebook line looks cold and outdated. There needs to be less of the metallic color and at least another color choice. People want to pick a computer that fits their style and makes them want to try it out because it has that Wow factor.
bigb 07/02/07	I definitely agree,, although i like what dell has done lately with the color additions, but i must say i wanted to get a dell this last month but i haven't yet simply because i only want a black laptop . Now, you have added a black top and bottom to them recently but geesh, when i want a black laptop , i want a black laptop , if i want a red laptop , i want it red. Not just the top and bottom , the inside too,, get rid of that god awful silver inside , make the inside match outside , or give the option to at least make it match the outside color. Another feature that i think should be standard for the mid range and up laptop lines is to have a backlit keyboard , do you know how much typing i do in dark areas or low lit offices. but i guess thats another thread. for these reasons only have i been looking at a macbook ,, lol but even apple's macbooks don't have it completely right.

jervis961 07/30/07	OK, I'll wait right here. :)
petzymathuram 07/31/07	;)
petzymathuram 07/31/07	Hi Jervis, I have a doubt...;) Can the Dell logo be advertised in a different color other than blue color?
petzymathuram 07/31/07	As per the rules is it right or wrong? ;)
premcv 07/31/07	Petzy it is as per the Dell trademark, I think! If they have to rework it, they would have to re-apply for the trademark.
kenjennings 07/31/07	I'd really like that metallic, olive-drab/green available on the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. That green on the Inspiron is too much http://www.jeep.com/en/2007/wrangler_unlimited/index.html
petzymathuram 08/01/07	I found the advertisement on the MSN homepage with violet background and "Dell" in white and yesterday yellow background with "Dell" in black. I have the screen shot with me...That is y asked.....sorry... I just troubled with a silly doubt I believe...;)
