    I really like the red. The white just looks kind of plain.

    Either red or black I've seen both up close and I have to say I'm partial to the red.

    You have seen them up close? wonderful, haven't seen the white?
    Probably no way it would be close to the macbook's white.

    I have a red and have also had a black.

    The red gets ALOT of attention and stands out as a very smart looking laptop. I believe the newer white is an arctic white where as the original had several coats of paint and was quoted as being pearlescent. They had to stop that due to quality control and there were only 294 original M1330s with that colour.

    The white looks a little plain to me, so id say its between the black and red. I ordered a black xps 1530 after a vote between 2 friends and my girlfriend :p, but i doubt you will be disappointed with either color

    I do love how red looks on the XPS. Very sleek and will definitely turn heads but it doesn't scream too much attention. Black looks nice, too, but I think it's far too common of a notebook color, so for "uniqueness" my pick would be red.

    Thank you to everybody!!! I decided to go with RED!! I had/have
    a black xps 1210 and it's cool but a change is nice.

    Also was real pleased as I got a discount on top of the Dell one
    from my place work.

    Thanks for everybody suggestions. Will keep you posted how red looks.
    Jane
