Why only ugly PCs/laptops ?
Actually this is a valid issue and I would like those in the know to share with us why all OEMs are only able to produce dull to straight ugly PCs/Laptops ? Not the slightest attempt at coming out with something that tries to be elegant or, God forbid! anything else than the mortuary range from black to gray (I voluntarily exclude consumer products that may err towards metal or silver). A few years ago Dell advertised on their web site a Latitude laptop that came in (strap on your helmets, folks!) silver, graphite, red and blue colors. I wanted badly to get my hands on a blue or even red one but they were not available and a sales rep I talked to was so shy and apologized for they appeared on their site by mistake (WTF?!) and she invited me to order the grey one instead.
So the PCs are dying and all that manufacturers are doing is keep pumping out that same atrocities as in the '90s. In our opinion are they blind, stupid or coerced into this nonsense ?
