damn you Engadget!]]>Apr 22nd 2008 1:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/dells-xps-m1530-might-be-pretty-in-pink/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/dells-xps-m1530-might-be-pretty-in-pink/
colors on laptops/electronics?! amazing.

Dell, you're about 3 years too late on the color bandwagon.

I love how these idiots at Dell are making COLORS the highlight of their laptop advertising campaign.

They're making you PAY for it too. Does a cheap plastic bezel really cost $25 Dell?]]>Apr 22nd 2008 11:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/dells-xps-m1530-might-be-pretty-in-pink/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/dells-xps-m1530-might-be-pretty-in-pink/
Although I suppose this isn't really a benefit considering we are charged quite a bit more for a similarly spec'ed laptop than in the States, despite our dollar being pretty much exactly on par, or slightly above the USD.]]>Apr 22nd 2008 12:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/dells-xps-m1530-might-be-pretty-in-pink/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/dells-xps-m1530-might-be-pretty-in-pink/
The reason laptops get cheaper over time isn't only because of hardware components. Demand for laptops(and other devices) drive the cost down since they don't have to stop the production chain.

There is obviously a change of process in painting/making these laptops a different color, every choice of color costs the company some extra money to start a line up and running.

That said, it doesn't mean i'd enjoy paying extra for a Midnight Blue Dell. Besides, not all companies charge extra for different colors. Nintendo, for instance, simply releases new colors every now and then, to spruce up the demand. ]]>Apr 22nd 2008 12:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/dells-xps-m1530-might-be-pretty-in-pink/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/dells-xps-m1530-might-be-pretty-in-pink/Apr 22nd 2008 12:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/dells-xps-m1530-might-be-pretty-in-pink/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/dells-xps-m1530-might-be-pretty-in-pink/Apr 22nd 2008 12:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/dells-xps-m1530-might-be-pretty-in-pink/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/dells-xps-m1530-might-be-pretty-in-pink/

I'm so glad you brought that up. Yes, I saw the Penny's pink laptop in the episode (quite hard not to miss it...but I guess that's the point). It could have been an M1330.
