Hey! Who graffitied on my laptop?
There's an ongoing problem facing Dell today, its systems just aren't deemed to be as cool as the Apple alternatives. Though most of us aren't lured by looks, Dell wants to get back some of those iHeartJobs users and in order to do so, it needs some sexy-looking products.
Unfortunately, Dell isn't renowned for its aesthetic feats and the manufacturer has therefore turned to Brooklyn-based artist, Mike Ming. The result? Inspiron laptops with graffiti-inspired decor:
There's a choice of two designs; Bunch O Surfers or Sea Sky (pictured). There is, however, a downside. Opting for one of these hip-looking Mike Ming edition laptops will add $100 to your laptop's price-tag.
Commenting on the design, Ming says: "I wanted to create a sense of energy, playfulness, sophistication and psychedelic momentum when I started this. This new technique from Dell brings my inspiration - water and the energy it produces - to life and gives computer aficionados their own display of style."
Pricing for the Ming-inspired Inspiron starts at $699 in the US, but there's no sign of a UK release yet. We're hoping these designs do reach UK shores as we're liking what we see, but, what do you think, dear readers? Cool or not cool? Let us know in the HEXUS forums.
