Adding Zest to Colored Laptops
It used to be that when you bought a laptop computer you were concerned with things like RAM, operating systems, and general performance capabilities. Now the decision involves all those factors plus…scent? There seems to be an ever-increasing number of options in terms of laptop appearance. You can get colored laptops, scented laptops, and laptops covered in unique materials.
Scents
Have you always dreamed of combining aromatherapy with your computer but you’re tired of hanging those pine-shaped air fresheners from your laptop screen? You’re in luck! The ASUS F6V laptop comes in a variety of scents with covers colored accordingly. Your scent selection includes: floral blossom, morning dew, aqua ocean, and musky black.
Colors
The Sony VAIO CS series colored laptops come in an impressive range of hues: red, black, white, pink, brown, and black. With these models, it’s not just the back of the screen that’s colorful; it’s also the interior of the notebook and its keyboard. Plus, there are lights in the palm rest that can flash in time to your music. Laptop disco, anyone?
Fujitsu offers the LifeBook A1120 with colored cases that can be switched out as your mood (or outfit) dictates. Dell Inspiron models give you a variety of color and pattern options from which to choose, too.
Luxe Meets Laptop
In a model somewhat reminiscent of Joey’s “Porsche” on Friends, ASUS also offers the Lamborghini VX3. Its cover is yellow and sleek, and it even includes a leather palm rest to remind you of the car’s leather seats.
For those more inclined to the mall than the road, there’s the HP Mini 1000 Vivienne Tam edition. It’s ultra-small and bright red with an eye-catching peony design from the famed fashion designer on the case.
An Eco-Friendly Fashion Statement
Even desktops are getting into the appearance game. Dell’s new Studio Hybrid super-compact PC is available with a bamboo cover. It is quite attractive and also environmentally-friendly, since bamboo is renewable. ASUS is down with the bamboo, too, offering the Bamboo Series U6B laptops with a bamboo cover and palm rest.
Retrofitting Your Laptop for Color
Bummed that you have a plain old black laptop but not quite ready to shell out the money for a new, colored machine? Plenty of laptop covers and skins are available to customize your computer. Though it’s true that most of these don’t include fragrances; you’ll have to figure that one out on your own.
