Dell brings a bit of the beach to its laptops
Dell has teamed up with Brooklyn artist Mike Ming to give one of its notebooks a surfer’s edge.
The special edition Inspiron 1525 will feature two of Ming’s designs: “Bunch O Surfers” (black-and-white) and “Sea Sky” (color). The laptops are available for order, and pricing starts at $699.
The Ming-designed PCs are the first of what Dell plans to grow into a series of special art-edition laptops. More on Ming and the laptops carrying his design can be found here.
Computer makers have looked to spruce up their notebook designs to give them more appeal. Dell added several color options to its lineup last year. And Hewlett-Packard joined with MTV in a contest to find a design for an H-P notebook.
Apple, which has about the hottest consumer products out there these days, is sticking with plain old silver, black and white.

I own multiple Dells and love them. Nice to see them offer up something with a little more style.
