Downtown Art Scene Arrives on Your Laptop with New Mike Ming Designs
from Dell
Exclusive Dell™ Inspiron™
1525 Designs Signal New Personalization Options Attuned to Youth Culture
and Visual Impact
Available Today Starting at $699
ROUND ROCK, Texas (Business Wire EON) May 6, 2008 --
Unorthodox, adventurous contemporary art meets on-the-go technology with
the inaugural Special Art Edition Inspiron 1525 laptop, featuring two
exclusive artworks by Mike Ming.
Choose from “Bunch O Surfers”
or “Sea Sky,” two
unique designs that reflect Mike Ming’s quest
to create art that relates to broad audiences, yet speaks directly to
everyone.
The laptops are available for order today, starting at $699, at www.dell.com/art.
A new Dell manufacturing technique brings alive every color and
brushstroke on the laptop’s cover, creating a
fluid, graffiti-inspired tattoo effect that lets style pioneers add
another level of individuality to everyday life.
The Inspiron 1525 is up to 25 percent smaller, thinner and almost a half
a pound lighter than its predecessor. Consumers on the go will
appreciate all of the optional wireless features that help them stay
connected, whether it’s at the desk, in a
room, around the house or just about anywhere in a wireless network.1
Brooklyn-based artist Mike Ming (born Michael Miyahira) brings
fascination with popular culture and life experiences to the canvas. “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.”
“Our customers have asked that we continue to
look at other areas of life, apart from technology, to help bring a
sense of uniqueness to their computers,” said
Ed Boyd, vice president of Consumer Experience Design at Dell. “Mike
Ming and the other artists in the series represent the shift in the
level of customer design input, a trend we’re
excited to see continue.”
