Pink may be everywhere, but we're old-fashioned: We think the ultimate pastel looks best on portable gadgets, including laptops. It also helps when a product is designed from scratch with a particular color or design in mind, rather than just pasted on as an ill-advised afterthought.

To that end, Fujitsu has done right by the color with its "Limited Pink Edition LifeBook P7230 Notebook. Gizmodiva says the fashionable laptop weighs in at a svelte 2.63 pounds but also has some specs to boast about, such as an Intel Core Duo U1400 chip of the "Ultra Low Voltage" variety to go along with its 10.6-inch display, 1.3-megapixel Webcam, 1GB of memory and 60GB hard drive.

As for its appearance, the best part about the laptop's design is its restraint--something we wish some other manufacturers would exercise.
