Dell Introduces Art Edition For Studio Range

Dell has launched five Special Art Edition designs for the Dell Studio 15 and 17 laptops, created by urban artist Mike Ming.

The designs for the Dell Studio 15 and 17 laptops include “Red Swirl,” “Seaweed,” “Sunburst,” “Bunch O Surfers” and “Sea Sky.” Each piece of artwork is brought to life through Dell’s manufacturing technique, which enables every color and individual brushstroke to be permanently “tattooed” on the laptop’s cover. The Special Art Edition Dell Studio laptops are available for order today on www.dell.co.in, starting at Rs. 59,800 for the Dell Studio 15.

Brooklyn-based artist Mike Ming (born Michael Miyahira) blends popular culture, motion and emotion to communicate his visual world. According to Ming, “The technology behind creating Dell’s Art House series of laptops allows me to share my visual creations with people who are inspired by art and who want to express their own individually unique sense of style.”

“It’s exciting and fun discovering new artists around the world who can create emotional ties, uniqueness and personalization with individuals’ personal technology,” said Girish Mehta, Director of Consumer Marketing, Dell India. “The Special Art Edition designs reflect our customers’ desires to add another level of individuality to everyday life.”

Lenovo To Introduce Slim X301 Laptop

Lenovo is all set to introduce an update to its Macbook Air competitor, the X300. The new notebook will be called the X301 and will expand on the first model by using Centrino 2 ultra-low voltage Core 2 Duo processors which will run at a speculated speed of both 1.2GHz and 1.4 GHz processors. They are also looking to extend the battery life of the original.

The X301 will also add a 128 GB solid-state drive and add DisplayPort without removing VGA. This gives users the choice of both, an analog and digital display. The company will also offer a faster, HSPA-based 3G option for AT&T data subscribers in the states and will also seek to add WiMAX as an option once Sprint’s Xohm network launches in September of this year.
The X301 will be available at a price of $2599 and will be available at fixed vendors from 29 Aug. onwards.

Computex 08: MSI Releases Wind Laptop

MSI has unveiled the MSI Wind codename U100 at Computex 2008. It will be available in 2 different versions and will be differentiated on the basis of its OS, i.e. either Linux or Windows XP.The Windows XP version of the MSI Wind is priced at $499 MSRP, and will be available for purchase starting June 16th. The Linux based MSI Wind will be available later for $399 MSRP.

The Windows version of the MSI Wind features an 80GB 2.5 SATA hard drive, 1.6Ghz Intel Atom CPU and 10-inch screen. The Wind’s display features embedded LED power-saving backlight technology, which provides color quality and brightness, a 1.3M webcam, Bluetooth capabilities, 3 USB ports and a 4-in-1 card reader.
With this launch I am sure that MSI can now breathe easy. I mean after all they were unwilling to confirm what was the worst kept secret – MSI using the Intel Atom processor, which was all but announced at IDF earlier.
