    Got a request form my boss today and being in the IT dept I got the fantastic task of finding a laptop for his daughter, her requests are winxp, webcam, and best of all it has to be green.

    Where can I find a laptop with XP these days and not mention it being green?

    Can anyone help please.

    Do you mean green as in environmentally friendly, or green as in colour? :D

    Dell do a wide range of colours, I am sure green is in there somewhere. As do Apple, but I don't know of the mechanics of ordering one with XP.

    Yeah it’s the colour green :)

    I tried Dell website before posting, I was looking at the InspironTM 1720I which I think you can get in green but i can’t customize any laptop on there site it seems to be acting up a bit as I keep receiving this message.

    "We're sorry, but we are unable to process your request to configure the identified product."

    *EDIT* oh wait its working now, bloody typical

    right I went through the custom option but there is a four week wait on those models and all other models that offer the green colour also have a wait time :(

    Can anyone advise me where else I can go?

    Actually, yes, I'm getting the same when I try to look at a laptop for somebody else.

    1720 might be a bit big, check out the 1520. I think there's delays on all Dell laptops at the moment though, particularly coloured ones.

    Thanks mate but she apparently wants a 17" screen.

    I have a blue one, if that helps :D

    It's Toshiba



    Personalised laptops in any colour you want


    Dell offer 8 different colours

    Have to say though, it's a crap shade of green, not very vibrant.

    Nah haven't got hands to wipe my arse when it comes to things like that sh1te, but I did find a Sony that looks good which is very important apparently but it has a small screen at 14"
