    Red face Help with a new laptop for my gf need something girly (blue or pink)

    look i know its silly but I'm looking for something like this
    core i5
    4GB ram
    15" screen prefer LED with high res "eye candy" :P
    nice GPU
    don't care about the HDD because I'm gonna replace it with SSD
    budget around 1100$
    i know there is alot of laptops out there with that specs but what i'm looking for is the "girly look" something pink or with a brand like parada or chennel or what ever girls like these days.
    her birthday is coming in first of October keep in mind I'm in kuwait so i have to wait for 3 weeks before i get any item i order from the US
    so i have August + the first week of September max before a deiced and order.
    I cant get apple because i will be contradicting my self she knows that "I basically don't think they are worth the money".
    hope you guys can help thanks

    Another thing I find funny is AMD/Intel would snipe any of our Moms on a grocery run if it meant good quarterly results, and you are forever whining about what feser did?

    color should not matter, if it does I thought I have seen "sticker skins" you could for your laptop?

    dude!
    have you ever been here?? like for real?
    I save around a 100KD(357 USD) on average per laptop I order from newegg or amazon.
    I order laptops all the time for friends family or even just to sell them for some profit.
    for example
    Asus Laptop G73JH is in kuwait for 650KD (2,254.99 USD)
    and at newegg its
    1,449.99 USD (417.894 KD) boom 805$ (233KD) saved!
    max shipping fees 25KD since its a laptop there is 0% customs charges on it

    well i was thinking that maybe one day i can get her to game with me
    so i thought..
    Alienware M11X fits my budget and with this cover

    its girly enough

    but then i found this Sony Vaio VPCEA290X Signature CTO
    real fancy stuff i can even write her name on it i think she might really like it but the geek in me stopping me from getting it because there is no GPU and the fact i really hate getting laptops just because they look nice
    so I'm gonna keep searching for now.. hope fully i will find something if not i'm going with the Vaio

    What about a Dell Studio 14?

    For a $939 subtotal I configured:
    • Intel Core i5-450M at 2.4GHz (Turbo Boost to 2.66GHz)
    • ATI Mobility Radeon 5450 1GB
    • 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 1066MHz
    • 14" 1366x768 LED backlit display
    • Backlit keyboard
    • It comes in pink!



    They unfortunately don't offer a higher resolution display, but that's the only real weak point. You can also get the extended 9-cell battery for $40 more, if she needs battery life.

    Personally, I really prefer Dell's Vostro line of business laptops, but unfortunately they come with integrated graphics (or a very weak video card), and obviously don't come in pink. Then again, those features don't really apply to their target audience.

    dell studio would have been mu suggestion. probably a better value than the sony vaio. theres also the dell studio xps 13 which is more pricey and im pretty sure it comes in red (at least)

    well i live in dubai sooo .....
    its cheaper here for me
    and i normally get laptops from distributes from kuwait because we tent to get things late here for example when the hp 18.4 inch first got released i got it 100 dollars more than the original price which seems responsible (tax shipping etc)
    did u at least try going to a distributor but listen dont go to the (branch)
    how can i explain this normally the distributor's shop i go to is very small
    i dont go to dell them selves their prices are high
