By Michael Tan

Pink laptops are gaining popularity, especially among women. Different from the old days when laptop computers come only in dull black or gray, most laptop computers nowadays comes with fun, vibrant, and brilliant colors.. and among all colors, pink is one of the most popular. Because of this, laptop manufacturing companies such as Toshiba, Sony, and Dell, to name a few, always include pink as one of the color options for their laptop. Pink laptop has proven to add attraction and the extra x-factor that help selling their laptops.

There are a few factors that cause the popularity of pink laptop. First, it is stylish and it arouses female sentiments. Second, pink laptops provide top performance quality as well as good looks. So it is not surprising to see most female buyers choose to go for pink laptops instead of the dull gray or black colors laptop.

Dell is a brand that you can always count on when you are looking for pink color laptops with good features and performance. Almost all laptop models from Dell, ranging from the budget laptops (Inspiron) to the high-end product line (XPS), are available in pink. All of them get great review rating from the pros and are equally stylish. Dell's popular pink laptops consist of the XPS line, Studio line, Inspiron line, and the newly launched E-class Latitude. Each of these product lines are designed specially to fulfill different requirements from customers. If lightness, portability, and high-end performance are important for you, the XPS line delivers exactly what you need; and if cost is your main concern, the Inspiron line offers a starting price of as low as $499, and still delivers descent performance. The Studio line is a moderate range laptop which sits between the Inspiron and XPS, while the E-class Latitude is a business laptop that's designed for professionals.

Another laptop brand that often comes in various shades of pink is Sony VAIO. For instance, the CR Series comes in Glossy Cosmopolitan Pink, the SR Series comes in Glossy or Sunset Pink, the TZ Series comes in Luxurious Rose Pink, the VGN-C290 CTO Series comes in Blush Pink, and the NR Series comes in Textured Cherry Blossom Pink. One drawback for the Sony VAIO laptop is that it tends to be more expensive compare to other brands, but they certainly have attractive design, and comes with top performance and great features.

Besides Dell and Sony which are the 2 most famous laptop brands that produce good-looking and great performing pink laptops, there are some companies that release limited edition of pink laptops on special events, such as Valentine's day and Breast Cancer Awareness month. To give a few examples, the pink Prada laptop from ASUS, the Pink Gold LifeBook P8010 from Fujitsu, and the pink Portege M800 Dual Core from Toshiba are all the limited edition laptops. Having a limited edition pink laptop is cool because you can show it off to your friends. But since these companies only produce limited edition pink laptops once in a while, and only for limited units, it's not easy to get them. You got to act fast whenever a new limited edition pink laptop is released.

Besides pink laptop, pink netbook is another great gadget for women too. It is a new category of tiny, light-weight, low-cost, and lean function sub-notebook that is optimized for Internet access and light-weight processing. Netbook is gaining popularity quickly after Asus Eee PC, the first netbook hits the market on 2007. Due to the small size and light weight of netbook, it has become a new favorite gadget for women. And due to this trend, netbook manufacturing companies always make pink as an available color option. Samsung NC10, Acre Aspire One, MSI Wind, and Dell Inspiron Mini are the few netbook that comes in shiny pink and with great performance. If word processing, web surfing, and other light-weight processing are the main usage for your laptop, consider getting a pink netbook instead of a full-size pink laptop.

Although pink laptops are so popular now, there are still some laptop brands that are not available in pink. But no worries, there are companies that will customize the color for you. Colorware, Inc. for example offers customized color on laptops and a variety of other devices. You can buy your laptop directly from them or send in one you already own for customization. Alternatively, another company called Gen-X-PC will match any PMS (Pantone) or Hex color and you get a choice of 4 different finishes " solid, metallic, pearl or color shift. For a less expensive way, you could just apply pink laptop skin on your machine. Many laptop skins with really cool design and low price can easily change the look of laptop to be more attractive.

Pink laptops have caused quite a sensation. It consistently outsell their counterparts and is predicted to keep gaining popularity. We believe that more choices of pink color laptops are coming our way this year!
