WTF is wrong with Dell?

[ChaoZ]

So Dell sucks now for giving choices?

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?

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

Apparently I missed the joke.

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.

It says pretty plainly what colour its is... I think it's the second or third column.

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.

Blackinches does not approve.

Fixed.

Looks hot to me, why not have it?

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.

that makes it infinitely better.

seriously, that makes it manlier than black.

My aunt will buy everything and anything that comes in pink. She'd buy this laptop in a heart beat, that's who buys pink laptops.

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".

 

[Parasitic]

They make vinyl decals that cover the top of the XPS right?

Probably women? Wow you're dense.
