Strange Dell Fashion Show Announces New Line Of Pretty Colored Laptops

2007-06-27T01:53:47Z

Dell invited us to go to Macy's to see some chicks and boyz in white versions of Neo's costume listlessly flounce down a catwalk while rainbow-colors were projected onto them.

Unable to resist, we sent Gawker video wunderkid Alex Goldberg to tape the affair awesomeness. We hypothesize the fete was conceptually tied to Dell's new line of Insprions which come in different colors, meaning that Dell has finally caught up to Apple, circa 1998.

Stayed tuned for the end when Alex asks PR-man, "if Dell computers could transform into robots, would they be Autobots or Decepticons?"

L-A-M-E.

Why didn't they get one of the models to do the announcement instead of the "suit troll" that came out after the gorgeous (and overly dressed, IMHO) models left?

What kind of Transformer would a Dell be?
Seriously?
Did they hold the press conference at a Star Trek convention or a grade school?

People that want pink computers buy macs. People that just want a damn fast hunk of hardware buy PCs.

Just gimme a damn fast black box.

You gotta hand it to Dell. They just can't stop thinking of ways to further embarass themselves.

Oh, no. If this takes off, we'll get pink ThinkPads. Well, no. Please, no.

Thank you PR-Man! I chose to buy a Mac. In white. Because I didn't need a "Flamingo Pink" computer.

Man I sure as hell hope this isn't Dell's half-assed way of saying "Sorry" after that take-down fiasco.

And what do those people prancing around in white have to do with computers?

Marketing is so strange.
