The 700m has a look that's a little bit different, a little more elegant, than most Dell. Gone are the dull blues and grays, and we are left with a case that resembles the slightly battered offspring of a Powerbook and an iBook. Considering the aesthetic beauty and simplicity of those two Apple machines, it's a vast improvement for the Dell design team. When closed the primary metallic silver color is nice, with an "arctic white" accent around the edges.
