relook your portable PCs

Laptops submitted by tm 02/23/07

Dell range of portable PC haven't changed look for a very long time.
The last changes are not happy ones.
One can sense the attempt to do something but it is a failed attempt would it be just to have sedate looking PCs.

I'm not looking for a good looking PC but at least if it could avoid being ugly : too thick, plastic apparence that dull and awfull brown. Even the new silver seems a cheap relooking.

In France (well I live) Dell is the choice of "poor" or greedy companies, very little chances that someone starts a Dell PC at home, generally it is a professionnal PC from a greedy company.

Their apparence make them look like devices designed under soviet era, when look was considered under the utility aspect.

PS I second the idea of having linux PC available, because with vista we will have less and les the opportuniy to keep XP, and if we have several computers we don't want to be pushed into taking vista, with its probable consequence of having to double the memory for hardly the same performance. 1 Comment »
