    I am thinking about getting the FE series laptop. I will customize it of course but i see that for the customize version it is white/gray and i was wondering if that gets dirty easy or what?

    I was considering considering the Sony VAiO VGN FE 890 CTO, but ultimately decided on the HP dv9000t.

    Anyways, if you decide to buy the FE890, be sure to order via telephone as you'll get an additional discount. Although you have to expressly ask the Sony salesperson.

    Also, I think Sony only offers free shipping Tuesdays through Thursdays.

    I guess I should answer your question. I think every laptop will get dirty. You have to take good care of it, clean it every now and then. Personally, I wouldn't consider that as an important buying criteria. One of the most common complaints about the dv9000t is that it attracts fingerprints, oh well.

    I would suggest a keyboard protector if the keys are white.
