Let’s face it, the PC and laptop market is subconsciously serving a purely male market demographic. Even though PC and laptops are used by both sexes the marketing of these products and even the design of the equipment has an unmistakable masculinity to it. This leaves a lot of women PC and laptop users alienated. They have no choice but to use the same products even though it does not necessarily reflect their femininity.
Dell has finally addressed this market with the Inspiron 1520 and Inspiron 1720 laptops. These new laptops -- aside from having tougher magnesium alloy housing, improved keyboard and quieter mouse buttons – will now also come in a variety of colors. Aside from the standard black and white, there will also be Sunshine Yellow, Flamingo Pink, Ruby Red, Espresso Brown, Midnight Blue and Spring Green. These new colors are actually $29 upgrades. But for women, it’s a small price to pay to get funkier colors for their laptops. Stylish men will, of course, love it too. |
