That’s what I did with the netbook I bought a few months ago, except I used “My Little Pony” stickers.
I’m a woman, and I have this bubble gum pink skin on my work laptop. It goes perfectly with my mouse.
I’d consider it if there was some way to camouflage or change the color. Which I guess is a “no”, actually.
It’s due more to pink just happening to be my least favorite color, than with the fact that I’m male.
I’ll just leave this here. My vote is to get the one that is more functional and pretty it up to your heart’s desire.
Must … not … make … crude … joke … Must … not … make … crude … joke …
Well, you could always slap a Breast Cancer Awareness Ribbon on it and no one would say anything…
I really don’t care what color it is . . . as long as it’s a Mac.
This.
Seriously, what’s the problem?
Gads, that thing is PINK!! It’s not just a light pink, it’s a bright, dark (odd putting those two descriptors next to each other) pink.
I’m female, and I’d have to think twice about it. But I loved my last Sony VAIO and that’s a pretty nice price for a laptop. I guess if I really couldn’t find the same thing in another color, and it really fit my needs at a good price, I’d do it. But it certainly would give me pause. . . especially that bright of a pink.
As an aside, I got a really ugly pink MP3 player because I thought it was a bargain price at the time. When I first got it, I fretted because I thought the color would deter me from using it. I don’t take it anywhere but it’s my favorite MP3 player. It’s dependable and works like I want. I don’t notice the color anymore.
My girl friend has a pink one, it is cute, but not for me.
Yeah, I actually kind of liked the shade of pink in the OP’s link, but didn’t like that two-tone look.
I’m a guy who’d happily use a pink laptop, as long as it was a good shade of pink. I’d steer away light/pastel pinks (unless also boasting pictures of Hello Kitty) because of dirt/stains and hate the shade that gets used to “breast-cancer-ify” every damn product that donates a pittance to charity, but hot, bright, or dark pinks would be pretty cool.
I seem to see pink being a bit more acceptable for men today, overall… which is cool, since pastel pink is one of the few pastels I can wear that makes me look good. I know a number of guys who use pink personal electronics of all types, wear pink clothes, Chucks, etc. I doubt a pink laptop would turn heads at a college.
If it were really discounted…maybe.
Just bought a pink camera today. Would have preferred black or silver, but it looks fine. Wouldn’t mind having a pink laptop, either. Though I would be hesitant before buying a pink car, but only because it would really stand out.
Guy, and I answered no problem– but then I clicked on the link. Despite being marketed as “pink”, that thing is magenta and silver, and it is not a pretty machine.
So, cool pink: nice.
Slightly hot pink: okay.
Silver and magenta in equal amounts: no thank you.
It’s an aesthetics thing, not a masculinity thing or a professionalism thing.
It wouldn’t be my first choice of colour, but it were a really good deal I would.
I think “Mary Kay dealer” when seeing a pink vehicle. That’d definitely turn me off of choosing that color.
Penn, of Penn & Teller, had his laptop painted pink long before any manufactured them in that color. He had it painted by a guy who normally paints motorcycles. I seem to recall that he advised choosing a painter who normally works for customers who would potentially beat somebody to death if they fuck up the thing being painted.
Im a man, and yes, I would consider buying a pink laptop (except I hate laptops, prefer desktop: much faster). However, the actual color pink is one of my favorites, and no, I’m far from gay, just a man that knows what he can get from strolling around with the proper amount of pink 
. Ladies love pink, even if they don’t want to admit it, and guys also love pink, even if most will never admit it. I’ll give you a hint, both like it for the same reason, it’s the color of…:eek:…
Pepto Bismol. Always a fan favorite!
Plus, the great R&B pianist James Booker supposedly drank “Alice’s Pink Panty” because he thought it would help his stomach.
And, don’t forget the great drink, “The Cape Fear” – bourbon and Pepto.
See – pink is cool. No, not that kind (although it can be), I mean the color.
