Black and white are neutral shades, not colors. Only the reds, purples, and blues on thinkpads qualify as colors.

A thinkpad running AMD, and particularly a thinkpad with that nasty excuse for a keyboard leave me less than enthused. Couldn't they have kept the awesome keyboard?
Of all the things they could've screwed up, why'd they fuck with the KEYBOARD?

X200 Thinkpad: 12" frame, trackpoint, no trackpad.

X100E leak: 11" frame, trackpoint, trackpad.... + colors + chiclet keyboard.

fake... though I will admit it looks like a nice mid-level netbook competitor if it comes in at under $500 compared to the rest of the crap out there.

I do believe I see my top choice over all netbooks in existence. A lot of people don't like the nub, but I think it's perfect for something like a netbook, where the trackpads are usually small and sucky as hell compared to regular full-size laptops.

I've mentioned my affinity for the Thinkpad aesthetic before but I think it bears repeating that I find them to be industrially lovely.

@Kaiser-Machead: They are industrially lovely. You look at them and they say to you ''I'm here to get shit done''.

@Kaiser-Machead: I agree with the industrially lovely part but I've never been a fan of the nub.

I only read 320GB HDD max, not 500GB. But who's nitpicking, I'm just glad to see it comes with the Trackpoint StylePointer mouse.

I really like the Studio designs. Dell's really got the best looking PCs out there, and is challenging Apple for both design and performance, at a much lower price. I've been considering getting one of those Studio XPS machines, but this might be just as good for my needs. 4.2 lbs isn't bad for a 14" machine, and I don't really need an optical drive with me most of the time anyway.

The one thing that's stopping me from getting a Dell Studio (either the XPS or this one) is the lack of a 512mb video card option. HP's got a seemingly decent machine that has a 512mb vid card, though it's not the Nvidia GeForce 9600M that I would prefer. Hopefully Dell will get it together and come up with 9600M option by July 1st, which is when I've decided I'm buying my next PC.

@weatherman:

What about a studio xps 16? That has a 512MB ATI graphics graphics card, and by all accounts it isnt bad. On top of that the rest of the laptop is fantastic. Its just too bad a well specced one costs nearly as much as a macbook pro. At least you get a 1080p full RGB LED screen with the dell though.

@knyghtryda: does it? I didn't realize. I'd been looking at the Studio XPS 13. The 16 inch screen just seems overly large, and comes in at 6.5lbs. I suppose it's a competitor to the Macbook Pro, but I need to be a little more portable than that.

Waqit a sec... They are selling this really nice laptop which can be spec'd out nicely, for 3 to 4 times less than the low spec'd Adamo? Dell is being stoopid again.
