Dell readies for summer with Mike Ming surfer laptop

School's almost out, but it's never too early to start thinking about the type of gear you'll want for the Fall semester. If you're looking for a laptop, keep an eye on the new Dell Art House-Special Edition Laptop collection which will include several artists in the series. For this round, Dell commissioned Brooklyn-based artist Mike Ming who delivered two cool graffiti-inspired tattoo designs for the Dell Inspiron 1525.

One design is called “Bunch O Surfers,” the other “Sea Sky,” both meant to appeal to the younger generation. Dell says the artsy Inspiron 1525 is smaller, thinner, and lighter than its predecessor, so that should be a huge selling point since kids do have to carry them in their backpacks.

Prices start at $699 for the Mike Ming Edition, which packs an Intel Pentium Dual Core processor, 3GB memory, and 160GB hard drive, or $799 for the Mike Ming Extreme that includes an Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 320GB storage.

Both look very good, but totally not my style. What do you think of the Mike Ming laptop? Yay or nay?
