Dell opens design studio giving custom lids for Studio series laptops
December 2nd, 2008
With laptops being such a commodity item these day, it is nice to see some of the Big Box computer retailers taking queue from Apple and giving the consumer more choices and better design. Â According to the article, there will be 58 options for you to customize your laptop with 100 exclusive works to be offered in all. Â With many people always haviing their laptop with them, it will be nice to have options to express your personal style.

To be honest, I’ve never thought Dell’s new Studio laptops did much to befit the Studio name. Dell trumpeted personalization when it launched the Studio line earlier this year, but aside from the standard rainbow of solid colors also found on lunch-pail Inspiron models, the Studio line offered only a handful of graphics patterns from Mike Ming (one of which, Sea Sky, is also an Inspiron option). Expanded feature set aside, Dell’s Studio laptops looked like slightly more stylish versions of Inspiron laptops.
Today, the Dell Studio line further distinguishes itself from Dell’s other laptop lines with the introduction of the Dell Design Studio. There, you’ll currently find 58 options for personalizing the lid of your Studio 15 or 17 laptop.  Dell states its Design Studio “offers more than 100 exclusive and original works of art,” so expect more to be added soon.  Featured artists include Joseph Amedokpo, Jason Bacon, Tristan Eaton, Siobhan Gunning, Bruce Mau, Mike Ming, Brittany Waldner, Derek Welch, and Guillaume Wolf.
