Dell is not nearly as bad as some others. And all of them used
to be much nicer. My Latitude from 6 years ago was an austere
dark gray warrior. The good news: I'm not going on any catwalks
with my laptop. Or even without it, come to think of it. But with
the $1000 I saved, I could afford a supermodel, for like 5 minutes.
it's a brilliant pc laptop. with the Area-51 the only problem with it is the fan that is a bit loud. The OS is better than that toy they call OS-X and the Life rubbish. Play with toys buy a Mac, (and an I-Life) you want a tool get a Alien.
Well, the 19" is nice, but there's such a thing as too
much of a good thing, like when you're on a plane,
or when you spend 3 days walking in Leipzig.
Plus, at that size (and that price) you really should
be getting WUXGA. And really, the screen can't fully
justify the weight; my new 17" Dell is under 8 pounds.
15 lbs, but that's probably with the optional sub-woofer, right?
Today I heard a old rock tune being blasted to distorion on their one inch laptop speakers as a supposedly "pump it up" prelude to a business presentation in my office. I made them turn it down. When I said it offended my sensibilities, they cluelessly asked me why.

It's time to pimp the laptop.

Amazing! How much effort goes into making major UGLY.

This reminds of those guys who buy Ford F-150's and install 10ft shocks then decal the sides with 'tribal' flames.
Major UGLY indeed.

Mike, I had the EXACT same thought. Some pimping is nice, too much pimping is compensation.

sissys who can't lift 15 pounds, need not apply.

If someone has to point out that it is not for sissies or for girls I wouldn't want it anyway. :^P

This comes under the same bizarre logic as:

Which part is bizarre again?

The part where it says "sissys who can’t lift 15 pounds, need not apply"

If I was an early 80's rocker, and drove a van with planets, laser beams and unicorns airbrushed on the side, I might see the appeal of this design.
