Colored laptops today can provide awesome levels of power and performance from hardware components such as big hard drives, fast multi core processors, tons of memory, HDMI outputs and various media slots. This has been the case for the last several years and there are sources of laptops under 300 which fall under this category of great used and refurbished opportunities. There are also the much more expensive higher end models however yellow laptops can be a bit more elusive than other colors.

Yellow Colored Laptop

It is quite common for these portable computers including yellow laptops to be capable of running some of the most resource intensive multimedia editing applications around. Most of the major laptop computer manufacturers are offering a variety of yellow laptops today and there is good reason for this. Traditionally laptops were offered in a very limited selection of colors and people simply wanted more of a choice.

There are actually several reasons why so many people prefer to own a laptop computer instead of a desktop such as they can have access to their data anytime, anywhere, and they have the ability to access the Internet while they are mobile as well.


The other reason besides the laptops portability and the fact that they offer all the power of their desktop counter parts is the fact that they come in a wide array of fun colors that give you an additional opportunity to express a little bit more of your unique personality. The Inspiron 1720 Dell yellow laptops for example offered many of the features that previous models had but they offered some very impressive additional features as well as many of the main features which you will find on most manufacturers colored laptops today. Ultimately the choice in specific colors does continue to grow into pastel and artistic as found in many of the other laptops highlighted here. This is basically an evolutionary process as some laptop colors are simply not as well received as others.

One popular add-on is having access to free ATSC high-definition TV content. With the yellow 1720 we reviewed this was possible using the AVerTV Hybrid NanoExpress which is a portable TV tuner that plugs into your ExpressCard slot in a very seamless fashion. In other words nothing sticks out from the slot making the tuner virtually integrated into the laptop. This is possible with nearly any laptop with a ExpressCard slot.

If you are a road warrior then you will find the 17 inch WXGA+ Anti-Glare laptop screen with a native resolution of 1440x900 to be a perfect compliment to the free ATSC high-definition TV content and you will discover why this along with the integrated 2.0 megapixel Creative webcam which rotates, pans, and tracks your face automatically make this not only a superior multimedia entertainment machine but a great multimedia communications machine as well.

However Dell is not the only manufacturer out there making great yellow laptops like this, and generally speaking each make and model provided by the various portable computer manufacturers will have very similar configurations available in the various price points the market has to offer at any given time. This is true except for the really cutting edge, ever changing technology which we do try to keep up with and these days this can be a bit of a challenge. It can be a lot of fun too especially when you get to review so many of the latest gadgets that come out each month.

Processors such as the Intel Core 2 Duo T5750 which has a 2GHz clock speed, 2MB of L2 cache, and a 667 MHz Front Side Bus are quite common on mid range color laptop models you can find in the market.


This particular processor is an excellent choice for those seeking a highly reliable, cool running CPU capable of fairly intense multitasking and running multimedia applications flawlessly as well. This may include day to day multitasking where you are really dependent on your laptop for getting done what you need to get done with very minimal hesitations from the computer.

4GB of 667MHz DDR2 RAM memory in 2GB stick configurations seems to be the most popular configuration on color laptop models using the Intel Core 2 Duo T5750 processor right now so this helps a bunch if you are one of those who really like to push your portable computer to the limits.

With the video RAM you can expect to find many yellow colored laptops with the 256MB NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT with built-in support for DirectX 10 in them. Now the nice thing about this graphics adapter is that the 256MB of RAM is dedicated which means that it is not borrowed from the system memory. Faster graphics is something that should appeal to the laptop gamers out there.

Keep in mind that Dell's Latitude series are "business class" laptops and the older units will have Windows XP Pro instead of XP Home Edition. This is because of the additional levels of security that is built-in to XP Professional.

A yellow laptop can definitely help to keep you in a bright and cheery mood while you are working or playing on them. The power and multimedia features available on portable computers today are highly impressive and once you own a laptop you may just find it a little confining to be tied to only your desktop computer.
