If DELL keeps making computers that look like that, HP is going to remain #1 in computers.
I think Dell should take a lesson from Apple and offer more devices catering towards the ultrastylish crowd, but, not fall into the trap of overly compromising connections like the Macbook Air.
In a lot of ways, HP has already done that. Alot of the little fashion features on Apple's notebooks are on but the HP's manage to pack more features and look better - instead of simpler.

The precision and latitude laptops are supposed to be for business use, and are designed to look alright but still business oriented.
The Inspiron and XPS are the consumer laptops

Well I got a D830 and I didn't buy it for the looks.
I did buy it for the 1920x1200 15,4 inch screen and the 8 hour battery life it has with a D-bay battery fitted.
