After blessing the Inspiron 1525 with a palette of 8 colors and 4 patterns Dell decided to turn up the funk factor by letting the Brooklyn-based artist Mike Ming adorn the laptop with his unique, graffiti-inspired design work.

Starting at $699, the Special Art Edition Inspiron covers feature Ming's contemporary pop-culture graphics such as "Bunch O Surfers" or "Sea Sky." To make each of the artist's brushstrokes as vivid as possible, Dell even devised a new coating technique which creates a fluid, tattoo-like effect.

Reminiscent of earth, water and music, Ming's artwork creates an exciting fusion of computer design and urban expression. "I wanted to create a sense of energy, playfulness, sophistication and psychedelic momentum when I started this," said Ming. "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."
