Dell have announced that, thanks to a collaboration with Brooklyn based artist Mike Ming, their Inspiration 1525 laptops are now available with exclusive artwork adorning the laptop covers resulting in what Dell describe as ‘a fluid, graffiti-inspired tattoo effect that lets style pioneers add another level of individuality to everyday life’.
Ed Boyd, vice president of Consumer Experience Design at Dell, introduced the new Special Art Edition Inspiron 1525 laptops stating, ‘Our customers have asked that we continue to look at other areas of life, apart from technology, to help bring a sense of uniqueness to their computers…Mike Ming and the other artists in the series represent the shift in the level of customer design input, a trend we’re excited to see continue.’


Interestingly – do excuse us for quibbling – these Special Art Edition Inspiron 1525 laptops appear not to limited editions so quite how ‘unique’ these laptops are is highly disputable (though perhaps Dell have a somewhat differing definition of the tem ‘unique’ when applying it to a mass produced consumer items).
Still, if you consider yourself to be a true ‘style pioneer’ we don’t doubt that these ‘unique’ mass produced Art Edition Inspiron 1525’s, which come in ‘Bunch O Surfers’ and ‘Sea Sky’ flavours may appeal considering unit pricing starts at a mere $699.
Alternatively, of course, you could always opt for a Mac and consequently set about patronising anyone seen carrying one of these on account of you having purchased a sense of true individuality. Or you could just get a marker pen and sign your name on the shell of your laptop. Sorted.
