    I was just wondering what do you guys think is the best looking XPS color? I myself like white.

    I think the red looks kind of aggressive, but has no class to it. The white, at least, looks nice from the pictures, but I still prefer the black-colored cover as it is more business-like IMHO, and also gives the notebook a uniform appearance, which is more my thing.

    I like the white colour. Red and black aren't bad, but I prefer the white version.

    white is girly and glossy which means it scratches
    red is nice
    black is perfect

    Silver or Blue (when they are available). The white isn't like Apple Macbook white and looks bad. Red looks too aggressive. Among the current offerings, only Black looks decent.

    White is girly?? I like the white machine, and don't think it looks "girly" or feminine at all. The white, glossy MacBook also happens to have the look I like best in the Apple line (my own machine is a MBP), too.

    Your machismo is running at too high a level, XPSdaBest. :D

    FWIW: I like the 1330 line. That's a great looking machine no matter the color, IMO.


    Edit: It's only available with Vista? I'm really not up to date on Dell options and didn't do a lot of reading. Is there a way to order with XP that with my cursory check, just missed?

    I love red. Perfect for me.

    Black is nice, though. But too common, a bit ordinary-looking.

    White on XPS just doesn't look too great. I mean, white and silver/grey?

    Just my opinion :D
