    Looking at a M1330 (Product) Red, but is the Vista Ultimate in ANY way different?
    I'd be looking at it because:
    • Colour (only way to get red 1330 in Ireland)
    • Hey a €50 donation to any charity is fine by me

    Ok, rather than starting a new thread I'm bumping:

    If I want to clean install/upgrade to 64bit, do I still get a (RED) version???

    Yes, you would. The red thing is entirely cosmetic and if you are worried about the wallpaper, you can always transfer it to an USB or download it.

    Oh, fair enough. So I can just d/l a (RED) pack from Dell?
    Y'see, I'm really thinking of going with it, and I've been doing a lot of research into what's the best value for me, and this is coming near the top of the list, if not THE top.

    But I'd deff. go with the (RED) because I much prefer the colour, and Dell.ie is so badly designed, I reckon not a lot of people will get it.
    Only thing is, if I go with the (RED), I'm the sort of person that would insist on keeping it (RED) themed.

    Thanks
