    I have Jet Black and I think its completely fine. Yes, it does pick up fingerprints, but I think it looks the coolest. Also, it's a matte black, not glossy.

    yup pretty much. Only picks up finger prints if you have really greasy hands.

    The thing I dont like about the jet black 1520 is that it is black on the outside and silver on the inside - not all-black like the vostro.

    The Black is Matte, similiar to the m1210's

    The White is Glossy, similar to the bumpers on the E1505

    All other colors have the Micro Satin Finish ;)
