    Having trouble deciding which color to get.

    Which would you pick and why?

    I went with the traditional silver case and black carbon fibre palm wrest over the new all white design after some reviews pointed out that the white carbon fiber doesn't feel quite as good as the black carbon fibre and the coating on the outside of the white case doesn't look as good after a few months of use.

    Black and what I have had for years. Because I like the way it looks.

    I'd go white just to be different.

    Normally I would say white, but I recently owned a white laptop from one of Dell's other brands and it turned yellow. I don't really trust Dell white anymore.
