I would love the Vostro, but it's not available in my country, is it possible to get the black bezel around the screen and keyboard from the Vostro to the Mini 9 ?

Yes, have heard many people in this forum discussing this. I don't know much about it, but it is possible. Maybe you could wait until the vostro a90 hits ebay?

Here is one person who did it.
mmmm-vostro-t6035.html

some more useful info.

I will probably be making the change as well.

I did it for cheap by googling and finding cheap parts around the internet (I am in canada)

Would you by chance still have links to the sources you found?

I would like to buy a black Vostro palmrest.

My mini 9 has lots of scratches on the grey already. I'm sure they'd show up less on black. The bezel seems to be easily available but the palmrest.. not so much.

Found an A90 palmrest WITH Bluetooth module on Ebay for $60 or so...if anyone's interested...

this is so frustrating that I can't get the black parts here in canada. I would get that thing from ebay, but I don't need the bluetooth, and 60 is a little expensive for that part. I may just paint my silver stuff... I just hope the trackpad doesn't suffer

Black palmrest - $20 for what they deem "grade B" and $30 for a better one - although they don't say "grade A"...
