Hot pink for the Dell Mini

The recently released Dell Inspiron Mini 9 is getting a face lift. Depending on your taste, that is. What I'm trying to say is that if you like hot pink, you're in for a treat.

On Thursday, Dell launched new colors and graphics designs for the Mini 9. OK, not just hot pink, but you'll have your choice of cherry red as well. If, however, you'd actually like to leave the house with your computer, Dell is also offering Mini 9s with art by "designer toy" designer Tristan Eaton.

I must say, a couple of the Tristan-designed cases are cool-looking, but personally I'd probably stick with plain, boring colors to match my plain and boring life. Now, if I was Paris Hilton or Seen it's possible that I'd be more excited.

Eric Franklin refused to write a bio, saying, "Why are you bothering me about this bio business again? If I wanted people to know more about me, I'd send them to the Inside CNET Labs Podcast" (shameless plug). E-mail Eric.

Does anyone actually buy all the pink crap that Dell makes? The Dell Outlet is full of Flamingo Pink Studio and XPS M1530 models....so if you're looking for a deal on the Barbie Dream Laptop, that's where you can find it! Why anyone would want a laptop the color of Pepto-Bismol is beyond me...
