    Now that I have FINALLY decided on which laptop to buy, I am now indecisive about the color;) , does anyone have any "home" pictures of the Plum Purple or Tangerine? Those are the two colors I like and I know people say they look different when they receive them..If anyone has pictures of either (other than whats on the Dell site lol) please post them, I would love to see them to help me decide! Thanks a bunch!

    I wouldn't go for the tangerine unless you want a delay of your laptop.

    That was my #1 choice but I quickly changed my mind when I saw it had a delay.

    My Studio 17 came today! (I shipped it to my husband's work so it wouldn't be sitting on our stoop all day). I got the purple color. I will try to take a picture later so you can see it.

    A stoop is what us city folk call our front steps, usually outside of an apartment building.

    Ok, so I tried taking pictures of it, but they don't do it justice. The purple is like a dark reddish purple (more purple of course than red...really if you think of a plum...it's that color). So if you are expecting like a bright grape purple color....no...it's more subdued. If you are looking for a bright color then I would go with tangerine or pink. I hope your laptop gets built and shipped quickly!
