    i took the lunar shadow because i feel like it looks more "professional" if these laptops can look professional lol

    what are the other specifications for your new notebook?

    I bought Soft Touch Stealth Black, and I'm wishing i had bought Lunar Shadow instead. Lunar Shadow has seemed to grow on me. At first I didn't like it that much, but now I'm regretting not buying Lunar Shadow.

    I got lunar shadow over cosmic black for the R1 due to the glossy fingerprint magnet on the black. Plus I love the gunmetal look. Now, I would love to have the stealth black look since I like that stealthy matte black.

    Went for the soft stealth black because i heard the finish seemed a little more scratch resistant.

    But if they offered Nebula Red for the M11x, I'd totally be on that!

    soft black and love it no finger prints...looks stealth....and the soft rubber is quiet thick in comparison to my thinkpad so it will last a long time. Also the all black looks very nice in comparison to two tone and i am usually a fan of two tone but want a nice flow and blend.

    lunar silver. i reallly like the contrast between the silver and black. everyone ordering the R2 seems to be getting the soft touch black...so it seems the silver will be less common **thumbs up**.

    I got the soft touch because I think hard plastics look cheap in silver or black.
