    Is the white color really white on the touchpad and in the touch control area above keyboard ?

    Mine looks redish and uneven especially on T-Pad . . all other colors look fine

    Thanks

    This has been asked many times over... ;)

    Yes, the white is not a true white as the LEDs mix RGB. Nothing can be done about it.

    Ooos, apologies :)

    Thanks for your quick answer, I just saw some video's on Ytube and noticed white was much brighter eg, my control bar above kboard is a mix of light red/brownish . . but I can live with it :) :)

    Yeah, not much to do with this one. You can edit the theme file manually and play with different color variations of white but its going to be about the same. Wont ever come close to the white keyboard on the XPS M1730 or the studio XPS models. Then again, those dont change colors :)
