I Think It's ok. What do you guys think?

Also i have a mint condition E1405 being sold b/c for some reason the touchpad/media buttons/mouse buttons no longer work. check it out i can ship it out if you pay via paypal. It's $500, which is a really good deal.

Looks nice!

 

yea i wanted midnight blue but can't wait 15 days as i go back to school at the end of august. any comments on jet black?

 

I have the exact same order, but with Midnight Blue. I don't have it yet, but I am thinking it will work rather well.

 

Black will pickup more fingerprints because it's not that microsatin whatever, other than that no difference.

 

yea. i'm dreading transfering my music and pictures over and getting iTunes going b/c i'm probably gonna have to make all my playlists over again

 

You can export playlists in iTunes, can you not? I'm almost positive you can.

 

idk everytime i try to do that i never works correctly and i find myself just re-makin the playlists..if anyone has instructions on how to do this that would be great.

 

It probably is because your music is in a new location on the new computer, so the "link" to each song is broken. If you use smart playlists this wouldn't be a problem.

 

yea. i have a few...il try to transfer to my new dell but who knows if it will work...

so now i'm second guessing my order...i want midnight blue b/c i just learned it was the micro-satin or w/e and it doesnt show fingerprints and i might as well wait a few extra days to get what i want. guess ill call dell monday and change it. hopefully i can get it by august 30th

 

I am not sure about the micro-satin and stuff, but the midnight blue (1420) that I had, would get finger prints taken easily. The midnight blue is pretty dark under normal light, so the finger smudges show.

 

i wanna know what you guys thinkk? Keep jet black or go to midnight blue? I have a feeling either way i will get it by the 30th but is it worth calling on monday/changing order/paying $20 more for blue? I like black and blue but i thought the blue was a different material that doesnt collect finger prints and is better but i dont really know.

any input...vote!
