    Question dose it leave finger prints like the glossy laptops or when they get dusty do they look out of place.

    Finger prints? Better than many. Worse than some (Macbook indeed). But it doesn't look bad at all.
    The dust is damned easy to clean on metallic :D

    The red looks pretty hot. I went with black personally just to have a little more conservative look when I have the lights off.

    The red would definatly draw a little more attention.

    no waaaayyy о_О i wanted space black color for my m17x before i saw silver! all lappies which i had were black - this is my fav color. but - the one thing what i can tell ya - the pics with silver color don't represent full impression)) the space black not so deep, not so dimensional as silver, but silver really looks for me like alien technology. i can't find right words now - but i changed my mind about buying black m17x - and now i'm happy with mine ))

    I used a lot of black laptops, and I am now fed up with black. Now I really want to change colors. I need something fresh, something shine, something which will attract everyone's attention. The nebula red fits better for a gaming laptop, just as the Toshiba Qosmio fire color. For me, gaming laptop should be different from black business laptop color.

    Nebula red is my perfect choice. :)

    Why don't you take the black for your new system.
    I am bored of black laptops. That's why I want to change colors.

    You can find pics of my black system when I put it for sale in the NBR Marketplace. ;)

    I chose red for 2 reason this time around. First it was cheaper and second I know I can buy the black casing separately unlike the red if I thought the color was hideous. I DO like the red, just prefer the black.

    Red looks good but long term I might have ended up hating it, which is why I went black :)

    But, I want to keep mine looking professional if I can and it does look good with the lights off. Goign to school in a month and plan to use this thing big time for presentation and group work, want it to look professional.

    But Red is fun, and those pics look good. The M17x is a nice lookin' device :)

    For me the choice was between silver and black and I ended up choosing black. Same reasons as nickbarbs. I'm a fan of simple things. And I think the silver and black both look simple. I just think I'd have gotten tired of the silver too. Maybe I'll get some black pics up when it gets here...in Jan...

    Well, each of us may have different taste about color here but I do believe we all wont argue that if M17x doesnt look best in Red, at least Red look best when its on M17x. I have never thought I would buy an electronic stuff that is red before I saw M17x :D

    Nice Pics SillyHoney! The way the red color looks on the AW website doesnt do it justice. These "real life' pics make the color look much better.
