They haven't used high gloss in the past due to complaints about finger prints. That's why the m9750 is matte black instead of glossy.

Looks like the new laptops might be glossy though...

My m9700 is silver metallic, with a glossy clear coat over it. It hides smears and fingerprints well.

Very nice 7700. I love the the Arctic White. Do you think its possible to have the keyboard painted? I've been thinking of getting a laptop painted VIA Smooth Creations or Laptops Design USA and I'm interested in either a UV or glow in the dark paint for the keyboard as well as getting the rest of the unit painted.

Looking forward to ordering a decked out Alienware m15x (When the options open up a bit). As well as in the market for a used Alienware m9700/9750 or new Gateway P-Series laptop.

to paint the keyboard you would have to find how to put the key letters and numbers into a different color...that maybe harder to do than anything else on the computer...
