it's still a dell

It may be a Dell, but I'd so go for being able to put my own design on a laptop. That said, it's still a Dell, so no deal.

Hey, who shat on my laptop?

I thought dell already screamed "Yuppy"?

From Dell's Mike Ming page:
"...self-expression with a lasting impression"

I am not so sure. However, if you define "self-expression" as "not being able to express your own artistic vision but having enough discretionary cash to buy into a mass-marketed, faux-artwork edition that appeals to the pop-culturally-enslaved consumer", then yes, I agree.

You know someone is going to put their but on one.

I'd buy it without the "Dell" logo effing up the middle.

@Let_everything:
can't wait to get my goatsepiron!

@SeattleTed: actually no I wouldn't it still runs windows -but I THOUGHT I would buy it.

@SeattleTed:

brand less would be cool period...

Buy a sticker. Because you can peel it off later.

Mike Ming's work is nice and it definitely makes the Dell look like a polished turd, but something about a bunch of other people rocking the same "unique" design as my laptop would really take the cool out of this. Not that the Dell doesn't already do this. Mod your own laptop with a truly custom design FTW.

cuz us common folk never heard of vinyl.

Everybody would bash Dell, but when someone offers them an Acer "Uhhhh. No thanks." Tsh

@ripfire4:

uhh.

what is the really worst laptop brand?

it would be worth buying one and sticking an apple logo on it.

Or for $20 you can buy 3 sheets of removable sticker paper at Office Max and print up your own design.

At least it's not a Mac. I think the design is okay; reminds me of some albums I have.

Totally happy with my gelaskins cover. @ $30 bucks it cost me significantly less and lets someone else express themselves at my expense.

For the love o' irony, I look forward to ordering a custom designed exterior, and painstakingly designing it to look exactly the same as the standard model.

Seriously whats a MacBook? Is it some kind of Big Mac from McDonalds but in the form of a book?

BTW they should come up with Bloods and Crips graffiti designs. that would be awsome.

the design isn't bad IMO, just not on a laptop. And BTW Dell, this doesn't make the inspiron the 'cool' thing to have. "lipstick on a pig" seems fitting.

@YoMommaIsMyMomma: yeah, you know those bloods n' crips love hanging out on the porch and checking their myspace pages.

I've got a Dell and I don't have any problems with it. There's a lot crappier laptops out there I could have bought.

I've got a vinyl skin coming in from skinit.com with my own custom graphics I uploaded to their site.

@YoMommaIsMyMomma: Bullet proof display bezels would be a welcome add-on.
