What is delaying Dell Inspiron notebook orders?

Remember some of the Dell Inspiron notebooks mentioned previously on July? In case you don't remember, they are available in 8 different colors, including Jet Black, Alpine White, Espresso Brown, Ruby Red, Midnight Blue, Spring Green, Flaming Pink and Sunshine Yellow.
The problem is that some Inspiron notebook orders are being delayed for 1 month, and sometimes even 2 months. You might be asking what is the cause, and according to Dell, the blame is to be put on the colors.
To date, color options are the main source of delay on Inspiron notebooks. Basic colors like black are easier to produce. Premium colors and finishes like we use on the Inspiron models introduce complexity into the process, and that's holding things up.
On top of the colors, there is another cause for the delays, which are the screen displays - some of them are short in supply.
If you want a Dell Inspiron notebook and are not interested in waiting extra time for it, just order a black or white version and you'll be fine.
