Which color keyboard on my SZ240?

I think I'm going to buy an SZ240. I have a choice of silver or black keyboard. I am totally up in the air on that...what color keyboard would YOU choose?

 

Silver paint will wear off with use.
Don't get a 240, and don't buy direct.

 

I like black because looking at a white/silver keyboard in a bright sun hurts the eyes.

 

I'm curious why buying direct is a bad idea, where would one normally want to buy an SZ?

 

The answer is that it ISNT necessarily a bad idea...for instance, I chose to purchase direct because Sony was offering 18 months of interest free financing whereas the most I could get anywhere else was 90 days...and I needed the financing option.

Nuntius just seems to believe that whatever was best for him/her is necessarily the best option for everyone, and that simply isnt true

 

dont know about the rest of you, but i do not regret choosing a silver keyboard.
i think it looks awesome

you should look into a SZ3XX series, if you havent bought it yet. might as well get the better processor.

being a computer science major at my university, i do A LOT of programming with my SZ. i see no fading or any abnormal wearing or tearing at all on any keys. plus i play WOW...... the W, A, S, and D keys look near perfect.

(if you dont know, those MMROPG's use those keys signifigantly more than any other keys)

**WOW is world of warcraft... i know im a total nerd. -_-

LOL^

 

I like how the Enter key is black. I vote for the silver keyboard.

 

My silver keyboard is all silver ... no black keys. Looks much nicer.

 

And you're just making impolite assumptions, aren't you?

Fry's Electronics has the SZ-260 Premium model for 1,999
Portable One has the SZ-250 Premium model, customizable, for 2,099

How about this, I like to help people save money and buy superior notebooks.

 

Mine too.

Did it come that way?


I can't figure out why the silver is a $30 option. I think the black looks better.

 

mines black.. and mind u, it looks gorgeous!!!

 

Different Strokes, "Key if you will", for different Folks.

 

Black keys FTW!!

However, it's very easy to see dust on a black keyboard

 

Black looks much better with the darker surround but the silver looks as good as black with the lighter.

Get the silver and buy a black 'spare' then replace every other key and have a chequered one - best of both worlds!

 

I prefer one "general" color throughout a notebook, so I'd prefer black. However, with the SZ series, you can only really achieve this with premium models' chassises as they come in the charcoal black tone,opposed to the non-premiums' silver.

 

I changed out my black keyboard for a silver and I think it looks pretty sharp. Color blends in very well with the palm rest. Wanted to give it a try because a friend had it and I noticed it was a little easier to see the keys in low light conditions. I'm happy with it.

 

Arg! The stickers! Peel them!!

 

Aww, I like the stickers.

Personally, I like the black one better but I would pick the white one because the black keyboards wear out in a short while and become very glossy looking, I think it would be less pronounced on a white/silver keyboard no?

 

The silver keyboard looks so much better then the black, I wish I had customized an SZ with it.. Next laptop, I'll be sure to go for the silver.
