    Hey everyone, I'm new here. I'm pretty sure I'm going to get the dell inspiron 1525, but i had a question about the colors. I was planning on getting the midnight blue color, but when I went to best buy just to see the laptop in person (i'm going to order it from dell), the blue was very dark and didn't look like it did in the pictures on the website. also, it felt weird...almost like rubbery. anyway, i was wondering if anyone had the blue, and could tell me if it was really dark or it looks like the pictures on the website. The one at best buy could've been an older version and i just didn't realize it or something. Thanks!

    Also, my friend has the green one, and i saw it and it wasn't the same rubbery kind of material, it was the regular smooth feel.

    The midnight blue color is very dark, almost black.
    And all the solid colors except black and white are the "rubbery" texture.
    I don't know about the prints, since I haven't seen any of those in person.

    i thought maybe it might have been an older version and i didn't realize it or something...does anyone have a picture of the blue?

    also, is it better to get the 1525 or the 1420 or the 1520?
