Dell’s boring Inspiron 1525 laptops have just gotten a touch of class, thanks to designs from Mike Ming. The two new designs have been dubbed “Bunch O Surfers” and “Sea Sky”, but unfortunately I think it would have done better if tacked onto some of the higher end Dell laptops. Still, for $699 a pop, you do get something not as drab as your colleague’s and 3GB of RAM is always a very welcome specification in my book - for the moment, at least.
