Dell tells me to buy a finger print reader in order to have another color on the system

This is hilarious or there is a color technology out there that requires to scan my finger print in order to show the “bunch o surfers” or some other design on my laptop skin. Really Dell?
see it on the dell site, just select the color scheme as “bunch o surfers”

At Pointy Haired Dilbert, I have one goal, "to make you awesome in excel and charting". PHD is started in 2007 and today has 300+ articles and tutorials on using excel, making better charts. 




Is it possible that Dell only manufactured that particular laptop skin/case in the configuration that includes a slot/hole for the integrated biometric reader? If so, you’d have to order the reader with the case, or have a gaping hole in your laptop where the reader should be.
Pssible… but that would be a gaping hole in the logic of skin designer…. welcome to PHD blog…
Maybe Dell’s broadening their market to finger painters.
Were you really interested in that skin? Or just exploring?
Maybe it’s been fixed. I went there, selected bunch of surfers, went to check out and didn’t get a compatibility issue.
Pretty funny error though. If someone else replicates it, let me know.
