    Tons of pics already, but not many of the Alpine white. Don't think I would order it in white, if I could have done it all again. Looks a little cheap.

    Someone asked for a size comparison, so I took one with a A4 size paper next to the laptop.

    First time posting pics here, so hopefully they show up.

    I think the problem with the white is that the inside of the inspiron is light silver... and there's not enough contrast.

    I kind of regret that I didn't order a white one.
    I'd probably have it by now, and I like the white with silver look.
