    I really like this idea. I just can't make up my mind on which color I should go with. What would you choose? I really trust the taste of NBR members, please vote.

    Out of those I'd go with either Candy Apple or Steel. But if they were up there, I'd suggest either Ferrari or Techno.

    Steel gets my vote, although I liked Smoke as well.

    I agree with the suggestion above - Ferrari looks really nice, but if the color doesn't suit you, more power to you, I guess.

    I like Caution. If you're getting a notebook painted, might as well make it noticeable.

    I voted Steel, but I'd go with Blaze if it were my machine ;) But then again, I really like the teal lid of my HGL-30... *shrug*

    I really like white but not sure how that would look with a black keyboard. I'm also affraid it'll get dirty. I like red because it matched the red nav button. I also like crush a lot.

    i guess your worried, come to think of it who wouldnt be,
    well for a notebook i dont think its possible to.... easily that is
    you best bet in my opinion is to send it as a whole thru a trusted carrier safely to a well rated firm

    wel if thats what yo got in mind it would be quite risky right?
    anyways isnt there any company that does custom paint jobs in kuwait
    or you could try finding a company that does some somewhere in the gulf or asia it would be uch more easier and save you the cost as well as risk

    What I would recommend is just pulling out the hard drive, and keeping that with you. Keeps your data safe, and lets the professionals who're going to do the painting do the hard disassembly.

    I voted Caution. Best way to get someones attention.. Yellow is always a winner.

    Too bad the orange shades are kind of ugly though.

    but pitabred he lives in kuwait do you think shipping it all the way to the states is worth all the trouble when there are comapnies who do the same in the gulf and europe and asia
    considering the time it would take and te effort as well as the risk of loss or breakage
    quite alot of stake and if anything does go wrong the waranty will also be voided right i mean due to the custom paint job and all

    As a male I can only vote for Smoke and Steel. No male can have a candy apple, lilac or alpine laptop. It is too unmanly. Caution is OK, but still unmanly.

    It depends on how much bigger he is than me. During a football game one of the larger players skipped across the field after a play. No one planned to laugh at him.

    Probably not because the smaller players are still big and scary looking. If the water boy skipped across the field, he would be laughed at. :laugh:

    Seriously? I would be able to have a pink notebook without any trouble. You need to be more confident of your manhood pal. A black notebook won't make you any more of man :D

    A manly man does not care what others think. He buys the pink laptop and ignores less masculine men who need to find someone else to harass to make up for their problems.

    It's too bad you're not buying one anymore, those are pretty hot. I would pick Jet Black or... no change from the default Thinkpad color, hah.

    P.S. You might feel great as a man with a pink laptop... car... cell phone... hair... But I'm still gonna laugh when I see you, sorry!

    colours dont make a man less of a man
    it just degrades him in society as the society we live in nowadays considers
    pink to be a color for the feminine

    If someone is secure of his masculinity, he does not care about anyone else's opinion.

    yet if the society or the people around him make him feel like a sissy he would be led to doubt himself and his ideals and eventually come to beleive that he is a sissy

    i really think that we should be getting back to the topic
    ibmac should be furious :D :D ;)

    Wow, to quote a post from another thread just to make a point. Get a life man. Since when was it manly to not care about what people think? Unless your benchmark for being a man is Homer J Simpson :p Quote the post before that to see and decide if my outbreak was just. Out of curiosity, how old are you?

    Shaheen, we're not off topic. We're still talking about colors, only on a psychiatric level :D

    aaah well i guess you got a point
    its interesting to see how the thread has evolved from a visual perspective of color to the psychological level :D :p
    if any one else has opinions about colors that either are or are not connected to the psychological interpretation of colors or their visual perspective feel free to post :D

    but then again men are known to be little less sympathizing or a little bit carefree as compared to women who are known to think from their hearts as compared to brains in men which is a good thing...or bad ....you decide :p ;)
