Flamingo Pink

[taelrak]

In Europe, they are marketing the pink Inspiron as "Bubblegum Pink" rather than the North American "Flamingo Pink"

Which is is closer to? Bubblegum or Flamingos?

That depends on how well-chewed the bubblegum is.

BTW, what makes you think a guy can't get away with having a flamingo pink laptop?

How about bubblegum made from the ground up bodies of flamingos?

For some weird reason, i like the pink and the green color.
Unfortunately the colors weren't offered for my choice of notebook and we are living in a world where a guy is not "allowed" to have a pink notebook.

I envy you a little bit.

when did you order your 1520, pwnstar?

[IceMole]

Glad you got your notebook, if I remember right you were on the fence about waiting any longer for it. Was it worth it?

Congrats! I too ordered my 1720 in Flamingo Pink and honestly, if it was not for the pretty pink color, I may have cancelled my order last week when they decided to push my order back until this week. I LOVE pink, and yes I am a girly-girl...pink rocks in my HO and will be different from the norm that is for sure! Come on July 27th...I want my Lappy!

First of all, I'm not a star. Just an amateur model and I do some random promo stuff. But I won a contest to go on the semi final casting call for America's Next Top Model reality show! So... wish me luck.

The story about my laptop and to answer everyone's questions:

Order date: 6/28
Est. ship: 7/16
Est. delivery: 7/17

I paid about $1470 (shipped) with the stats listed in my sig, as well as the 3 year full warranty plan. This included the $200 student discount, $279 (somewhere close to that) Inspiron discount, 7% discount for Dellcare Plus, and 12% off total for the EPP savings for orders over $1600. Overall, I felt like I purchased it at a good price, although people have gotten it for cheaper. My main regret was not getting the remote, Bluetooth, and the headphones. All things I can live without though, I don't even have a BT device.

During this wait, I called Dell pretty much every other day to harass them about the remote. After being transferred a million times and being hung up on, I eventually gave up and decided to wait till I got my notebook. Their response was usually cancel your order and redo it if you want the remote. Of course, after all the time I had waited, there's no way I'd cancel for a remote. I considered it but... nah.

I still don't have it, and if I decide to keep this laptop, which I will unless I find something that horribly disturbs me, I am gonna start harassing Dell again to give me that remote.

The pink is not like... Hello Kitty or baby girl pink.There might be a slight shade of coral/orange in it, which gives it the flamingo color I guess. No regrets on color choice, although I would have liked the red too. A metallic fuschia color would have been nice too.

Anyone know how to change the brightness from the keyboard? I see the brightness icon on the up and down arrow keys, but I don't know what else I'm supposed to hold to make it work?

Oh.. and yea I love this notebook so far. I think it is worth the price. Definitely could be better, but I am not disappointed. For those of you thinking about canceling your order, just wait! You may actually like it as much as you originally thought you would before all the forum nerds freaked you out.
