    dELL IS SO WEIRD IN their pricing.
    When I ordered my laptop, the colored screens were included.
    Then they went to $19, then $46, then, $50......???????

    Malaysia here is even weird, when I ordered it 2 months ago, no extra charges for lid color, now choosing color other than black and white will impose additional charges of $40 for the colour and webcam.

    Somemore you can't take away the webcam if you choose color other than black or alphine white. Must pay $40 for your color, together with the webcam :confused:

    jet black yeeeee
    i would've gotten white, blue or brown but i didn't wanna sit through the delay
    i think dell should at least have the body of the laptop made with all the paint and everything, then put the parts in but i dont know how laptop building works

    Look in my sig for my 1520.

    Faster? Not necessarily, because of most other components are running short. Like my Black just got pushed back a month today. Good looking as always come down to personal preferences, but yes, it does look good in black :)

    I ordered a black one but when it arrived it was green. The specs where all the same and the price never changed. I contacted dell and they gave me the option to send it back or keep it. I chose to keep it as i like the green. Glad i did now.

    I have white.

    I didn't choose the color. Dell did, because it was a replacement...

    At first I didn't like it because it was boring. Now, I think I kinda like it. It looks clean and fresh.

    I was hoping for blue though...

    Just some wild thought, hoping Dell can include more colors, or even let consumer specify the RGB values of the colors. But that would probably delay the shipments by 1 year, haha :D

    I guess Black colour is known for easily picking up fingerprints especially with a matte finish and there is nothing much you can do about it.... May be try wiping the outside of the laptop using some soft cloth....

    Considering black isn't really a color, but a sad attempt to save a little money and get your laptop to ship faster, midnight blue is the obvious winner.

    Really though, how many people voted black just because of the cost/shipping? You should vote based on your actual preference on appearances!
