Midnight Blue XPS M1330 and (hopefully) redesigned XPS m1730

490 points posted to XPS products by tknisley 08/06/07

It is understood that the painting process is painstakingly difficult for the XPS m1330 and that the Pearl White paint scheme was recently discontinued. There are several posts out there that call for a blue m1330. Why not continue with using the Midnight Blue paint scheme currently used on the Inspirion laptop line upon the XPS m1330. I could only imagine what the delay for such a product would be.

As far as the rumored design for the XPS m1730, it is disgustingly ugly. Perhaps the carbon fiber could be replaced by tuxedo black and could be outlined in chrome with Midnight Blue or Red on the sides with the XPS logo retaining its position.

Dell, you NEED to be original. I fondly remember seeing carbon fiber on other laptops from other suppliers-they are simply non attractive. You want your products to attract attention in a positive way, and using carbon fiber is hideous and will attract that unwanted attention resulting in a further loss of customers!

08/08/07		 The XPS 1730 as is, is horribly UGLY. Would you dress with these colors on you? Make it look like a Mac, or the M1330 XPS. Or better. Or at least something I can show in a business meeting. (and no, I'm not impressed by the Inspiron/Latitude/Precision/Vostro models -- read my other posts). The XPS line from Dell is the only hope I have left for my next notebook, before I get a Mac. Good luck Dell and good move to listen to customers with ideastorm!
