    I had wanted a RED XPS M1530, but the business account only offers black or grey.
    I'm wondering if anyone has photos of the Black ones. Or a link to one? I see lots of red ones online, but no black ones.

    I have a black one. It's pretty nice, you get what'd you expect. My second choice would be midnight blue.

    I got a black one and I'm happy with it. It isn't too flashy or anything. Just right in my opinion :)

    If you can't stand Dell, then go somewhere else!
    I bet whoever your with, won't have a laptop in your hands the very next day if yours breaks?
    Had I chose the regular home dell, yeah, I could have chose black, blue or red.

    I think the black one will look better than the red.

    How do you like your blue one? Those are nice. Any complaints about your XPS yet?

    I have the black XPS M1530 and I really like it. Looks very sleek and professional the only draw back is that it does show finger prints but not as bad as some glossy covers I've seen on other brands. I bet it's not any more then the other colors Dell offers.
    One of the things that I really like about the black is that the cover matches the back spin grill and bottom of the computer. The other colors only replace the top so you still have a black spin grill and bottom.

    I agree! Black also goes well with the silver too. I may well like this better than the red... I will have to wait and see.

    I choose the black one because it looks more sharp as opposed to the colored ones which looks toy like.

    Thanks for the photo.

    Looks like someone tried to steal your XPS and you warded off the shots with the notebook... XPS made of Kelvar! :D
