Dell and Microsoft get official with (PRODUCT) RED gear

We knew Dell and Microsoft would be giving some of their gear the Bono treatment this week, but the two companies and the AIDS-in-Africa relief project unveiled their partnership in style today at Davos. Just like we'd heard, the XPS m1530, m1330, and XPS One machines are all going crimson, as well as the 948 AIO printer. Microsoft's kicking in a special (PRODUCT) RED-themed edition of Vista Ultimate to keep things special on the OS tip, and obviously you'll feel better about things with donations of $50 - $80 of each machine's purchase price going to RED, and $5 on the printer (hey, those margins are low enough as it is). All the new stuff should be available by the end of the week in the States, and by January 31 in 30 additional countries -- or right now for your viewing pleasure in the gallery.

Zak, I was thinking the EXACT same thing... The guy who set those posters up was laughing himself sick during the thing.

Bono's going to be the new "Dude you're getting a Dell" guy. It sounds pretty funny if you say that while doing a Bono impression.

I challenge anyone to find a photo of Bono where he's not bent over, crouching or sitting when he's photographed with other people, especially men. Why does he always do it? He's four foot fuck all, that's why.

How about a (RED) edition Xbox 360??? RROD FTW

Just wondering, what does the size of the computers each hold correlate to?

Crap my new M1530 is arriving me tomorrow.
So Where can I find the Wallpapers and the Gadgets....

[Wwhat Posted Jan 25th 2008 1:34AM]

Can't wait to get a computer that's blood red and reminds me of death and misery and suffering, yay!

PEOPLE,, PEOPLE,

Bill!
Bono!
That other guy!

STOP SAVING THE AFRICANS!!
no, I'm not a racist, but it's CLEAR that if there is a god, he HATES black people! Only Africans are the ones dying at a rate of 4400 per day from AIDS, clearly someone didn't like black people..

I don't think it's coincidence.. It's a fact now.

[WebOn Posted Jan 25th 2008 10:03PM]

Are you SURE you're not a racist? seems like you are

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 26th 2008 9:37PM]

Yah, Dell still sucks...and Windows is not getting any better, so there you have it.

[Garst Posted Jan 26th 2008 4:14AM]

I HATE bono. And I especially hate that one song. IT'S ONE, TWO, THREE, "FOUR!" YOU'RE CONFUSING ALL THOSE THREE-YEAR-OLD TODDLERS! THEY'VE LEARNED TO COUNT, WHY CAN'T YOU?!

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 27th 2008 10:27AM]

bono sucks, boooo

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 28th 2008 4:05PM]

Bono does not suck. He's at least 5'7", taller than most of you "screw the Africans" complainers. Still, yeah, he's shorter than his persona (nobody is 10' tall).
If you're gonna say that Bono sucks, please tell us which celebrities, if any, that you admire. If you can name anybody cooler than Bono, I'd like to know who that is. And I'd like to make fun of your pick.

Not as revolutionary as the previous 13-inch version; fewer configuration options than Dell's Inspiron line. Dell's turn toward a "design-first" philosophy continues to pay off with the XPS M1530, easily the best-looking 15-inch laptop in recent memory.
