Dell adds colour.... finally!

Well this is welcome news - but will it be too little, too late?

They've been known for making high performance machines at all price points, but ... where has the visual bang been ? Even the Inspiron line with the ever-conservative pearl-white trim is lagging behind in terms of visual appeal... nice to see that they've taken a cue from Acer, Apple and so many others - no doubt the Alienware acquisition helped add a bit of rejuvenation to the case design.

I want a handle

why cant they put a briefcase handle on the front? Much easier and safer to carry from meeting to meeting.

Fanboys relax. I know Apple already has/had one but who would want an Apple if you could have a Dell instead?

Copying Apple, a little too late

Apple offered colored laptops and desktops years ago. For Dell to do it now, is like dressing up a pig to look like a swan.

intel

lets see - dell has been selling Intel based laptops for how long now? Suddenly Apple sees the light and ditches that POS power PC chip. Who is copying who? Next thing you know they will be selling Vista as well.
