Want to buy a pink notebook PC

Aug 20, 2004 7:27PM PDT

I'm looking around to buy a notebook for my girlfriend, and she wants a pink one. Unfortunately, while CyberpowerPC used to offer pastel pink as a case color, they don't seem to have that anymore; their pink is a sort of purplish-magenta. I've looked around and can't find anyone selling notebooks in anything close to pink. Any pointers, or pointers to likely places to ask for pointers, would be much appreciated.

It's unlikely that you will find such. For video and film work, the prop department can disassemble said devices and paint such. Even plastics can be done. But these people are pros at this work. Artists...

Not cheap. Figure a few grand to custom color a laptop and to hand paint any faux decal areas.

Apple used to have a lot of colors on its notebooks.

Most mainstream PC notebooks are either black or silver or a combination of those colors.

You can find a lot of custom desktop cases from Alienware, etc. but for mainstream notebooks you probably should look at Apple first.

I don't think Apple ever made a pink notebook, but I do know that they made Tangerine, Blueberry, Indigo, Graphite and Key Lime iBooks; (1999-2001) however, they don't make those models anymore. I've seen people take white Apple iBooks and paint them different colors. On eBay, one guy had painted his Yellow.

Thank you, those are much closer to what I'm looking for. Not quite as inexpensive as the ones at Cyberpowerpc.com, but definitely something to look at.

If you haven't found a pink notebook yet, VoodooPC sells one. Also, you can get just about any color or design Falcon Northwest.
