1420 colored lids - now on backorder

i went to configure an inspiron 1420 last night, and i realized that all colors except for:
*jet black
*espresso brown
*sunshine yellow
*ruby red
were on the "may delay your shipment" list

i just thought i'd let everyone know

 

So what did you end up choosing?

 

I would wait and get a red one

 

Studies have shown that red cars tend to get into more wrecks; I wonder if red notebooks tend to crash more...lol.

Sunshine yellow sounds cool. What did you get?

 

Yeah but remember that insurance on red cars is higher too, so how much more are you going to have to pay for the red laptop?

 

i haven't ordered yet, but i keep configuring the same model every day or so to see if i can get a better deal than the day before. plus i'm waiting on my student loan to come in. i'll be ordering the midnight blue though...i think it's worth the 7 day wait. as long as i get the laptop by august 31st, it doesn't matter if i have to wait a couple extra days to get what i want.

 

Imagine if you let someone under 23 years old use it!!!!! Best to avoid the red laptop and get a black one... maybe with four doors too!!

 

All 14xx, 15xx, and 17xx colors are in back ordered...well except red, black, white

 

arent those three colors the only choices available for the m1330? interesting.

 

great . . . i ordered green

Spring Green - 15 days
Jet Black - None
Alpine White - 12 days
Espresso Brown - None
Ruby Red - None
Midnight Blue - 15 days
Flamingo Pink - 15 days
Sunshine Yellow - 10 days

good thing that my order won't be affected by this delay at all (please note the sarcasm) - i've been assured my order is on schedule with no parts delayed.

 

So those who don't have those colors will get their laptops faster even though they ordered way after?
