    I'm planing on buying a Sony Vaio SR and they give you a list of colors you want your vaio to be (from sonystyle.ca). I narrowed down to 3 choices and was planning to go for the glossy silver but I don't know if it will feel good being glossy...

    What color would you recommend?

    1) Night Black
    2) Titanium Gray
    3) Glossy Silver

    "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder". I would suggest going to your local retailer and checking out the colors in person. Personally I've always favored black.

    it sucks because I was only able to see the grey, it's hard to find the SR in retail stores. I was disappointed in the grey, perhaps black looks better.

    Black for sure. Silver seems like the typical generic color I see most in computer stores. I would've considered white too, might be harder to see keyboard matte dulling with white colour.
