Ignoring all the other design flaws of the chassis and perceiving only the grey of the keyboard with white text on the keys, as a fan of grey, I must say that the colour is nice. Spoilt already by the dark LENOVO text on the keyboard, not to mention the bad colour conflict with the display chassis and the big, crying L E N O V O on the outside. Recently, there have been a few other notebooks with medium grey and much more consistent, unobtrusive overall design, which the colour grey should aim at.
