    Yes, different of course ;) :) Not bad...He's certainly a *graphical artist* ~ and represents his *tastes* and what he enjoys in life well...You can tell from looking at it!... ;)

    And, the awesome thing about Art is that it is *undefining*, and open to *interpretation* from everyone (just like poetry and music)..a great conversation starter! ;) Talk about having *walkable* artwork on you notebook! Each individual is so unique in their own way! ;) :)

    It would cool if Dell actually used well known Artist's work on their notebooks, if they are delving into this! Like some Dali, Monet, Klimt, etc.. ;) :cool: :yes:

    But using current *new, and upcoming, undiscovered* Artist's..is also a good thing! :cool: :yes:

    I say go for it Dell! ;) :)

    Studios aren't even related to the XPS series...

    Not for long

    These looks pretty nice, though I am not sure I would buy this design for a notebook.

    I think you have missed the announcement by Dell that the XPS "range" is going to become part of the Studio and Inspiration ranges, as opposed to a stand alone range.

    I like the "Bunch of Surfers" and "Sea Sky" ones. They look awesome. I don't like it entirely covered with art, just parts of it.

    Well apparently the XPS line will be discontinued and the speculation goes that it'll be "reincarnated" into the Inspiron and Studio lines. So the XPS will become a subline for example Studio 15 XPS. If anything, the Inspiron line should be the one to go into sublineage. I think the XPS is going out because it provides competition to the higher end gaming laptops from Alienware. I suppose the Alienware's price going down would make sense as well.

    Bunch O Surfers is awesome! If they make a Studio 15 XPS with that it would be awesome.

    Those are sweet but I don't know if I would actually want one or not. Very tempting though. Maybe after I get my tribal tattoos on my biceps.

    Maybe I'm showing my age but I think they're all hideous.
    And Dell also seem to be copying HP on this.
