    This laptop is awesome but the only thing that drives me crazy is the red border all along the laptop. Would there be any way to change this with another color?

    It came in silver as well, mostly on the barebones models....the question is where to find it. E-bay maybe?

    Thanks for the response! Just to make sure, is this the right name for the part I'm looking for?

    Dismantle the computer and see if you can find any professional airbrushers in your area.

    If I remember correctly, the red trim is connected to the metal palm rest.
    Probably glued together.

    professional airbrushing would be a good way to get it changed.
