Rebels buy orange-red laptops?

[Chuckit]

The rebel in me likes buying from the leader. It's my way of sticking it to the little guy.

[Mithras]

I express my rebellion through buying mass-produced products from huge multi-national corporations named Apple. Dell? Preposterous.

[Jawbone54]

That does it. I'm buying one.

Woo...

Very nice.

[Atheist]

I guess the marketing gurus equate red with rebel. Wow, that's deep.

I choose not to express my rebellion through the purchase of my laptop.

You're also forgetting that red makes it go faster.

Ah... TurboRebel™

[Dakar the Fourth]

You're thinking of flames, which I'm surprised it's lacking, as they're the hallmark of the rebel.

[sek929]

Ok so it needs flames, and Calvin pissing on the HP logo.

[Dakar the Fourth]

Ooo, that's clutch.

[sek929]

The piss could cascade onto other logos as well, like a piss fountain.

Edit: It should come pre-loaded with a Yosemite Sam desktop picture that says "Back Off"

[Dakar the Fourth]

Use that to cover ports.

And one of these gems, of course:

Next time I speak to Mike I am going to tell him to get you one of these.

I can't think of anything short of a large bribe that would compel me to buy a Dell, although that hot chick silhouette is a step in the right direction. No, not even that... Mac through and through!

And I don't get the ad - what rules? Microsoft's? International trade? Too vague.

Note that the word "Rules" is capitalized, while "bar" is not. So obviously they're talking about The Rules.

Uh, why do you even know that? Do you have that bookmarked or something?

The rule that laptops made by Dell have to be boring lifeless grey boxes.

Having a Dell laptop isn't just about owning a laptop anymore, it is a way of life. We at Dell understand your eXtreme lifestyle, and so have made a laptop that matches your personality, while still being modern.

Delivered by Dell.

So the color of the plastic has changed to be more cool. Like an aging starlet after plastic surgery.

Maybe it's time to bring back that Dell Dude kid.

Yeah, but the insurance will cost you more.

Isn't he a meth dealer now?

I used to know a girl who was totally into that crap, and it annoyed me so much that it stuck in my mind.

From Wikipedia for Ben Curtis (Dell Dude Steve):

In February 2005, Curtis played the role of Christian, in an off-Broadway 16-show production of John Fisher's gay comedy Joy. [3] The play and his performance both received generally favorable reviews.
Curtis was featured on the companion DVD to Triumph the Insult Comic Dog's CD Come Poop With Me. On his segment, a visibly intoxicated Curtis confronted Subway spokesman Jared Fogle.
Ben was working as a waiter at Tortilla Flats in NYC in 2007.[4]
Ben recently formed the rock band WHALE. However, they were forced to change their name to SAMVARA. Ben is the lead singer and rhythm guitarist.
Ben has been acting in numerous independent films as well as guest-starring on an episode of Law & Order that aired first in 2007.

Actually, I was being serious.
Girlfriends always leave some type of mental debris in your mind in wake of a relationship.

That's the connection I thought you were making, but the meth dealer on Breaking Bad is played by Aaron Paul, who looks like he's spent his life playing bit parts in sitcoms and dramas.

A rare occasion: I concur.

However, if you play your cards right, you do to.

Unless of course that's how they ended up with you in the first place.

Not that demented chicks can't be hot or anything...

Think of them as a leaky faucet. When they find me, they're dripping intermittently, when I leave, the kitchen is flooded.

Hey, orange is trendy. By choosing orange, you are showing that you are unique, just like all the other unique people who choose orange.

Am I the only person who finds that the angle on the picture makes it look like the laptop lid is raised on both the left and right?
