A girl that likes pink laptops perhaps? Just get a laptop decal

So I just looked. the XPS has 4 color choices: black, white, blue and pink.

The first three I understand, but pink I don't. It's just not a typical color to be found on computers.

Oh wells, I just hope it's not like pastel pink when I get it. It just sucks because it's a refurb and blemishes may show up very clearly on lighter tones.

return it?

Isn't that just a plastic cover piece? IIRC, you could swap those out for a black one or something.

Aren't the black ones a little bigger than the other ones?

Black vs. Pink

looks the same to me

looks more red than pink. if that's the true color, i wouldn't worry too much

Lola has a pink Inspiron. For whatever reason, in pics it comes out much more red. It is VERY pink.

You secretly love it. You're going to put "my little pony" stickers on it. You're just posting this in case anyone ever gives you crap for it.

Dell refurbs that bad? I bought Apple refurbs before and they were basically brand new.

IIRC, most Dell refurbs are returns - most unopened and turned on once or not at all. The ones returned for parts failure just have the parts swapped out that were bad and they get stuck on the outlet. No real reason to worry about their quality. Additionally, the last time I was looking at their refurbs, the list said if the laptop was scratched/dented or if it was just a return.

Both of ours are refurbs and mine was perfect, hers had bad ram that was fixed quickly by Dell. Hard to complain about 2 1720s for under $1,000.
 
LOL! You're getting a FLAMINGO PINK laptop and you're worried about scratches showing up on it... It's going to look ugly and make people think you're gay, regardless. Paint it or get one of those decals.

I think after some wear and tear the pink one stretches out a bit, FYI.

somebody is on fire today

Thats awesome. When I came into this thread the first thing on my mind was: "I bet Lola has a pink laptop".
