If the array of colorful metallic finishes available on Dell’s Studio 15 and 17 laptops don’t really scream personality to you, Dell’s new line of tattoo-like designs should definitely do the trick. Designed by urban artist Mike Ming, the new finishes bring vibrant, abstract designs to the otherwise bland lids of Dell’s latest notebooks.

Available designs include Sunburst, Red Swirl, Seaweed, Sea Sky, and Bunch O Surfers, many of which feature tight, bold black lines over bursts of watercolor. The designs are applied in Dell’s own proprietary manufacturing technique, which should give the notebooks a durable, resilient finish that won’t flake off like paint.

The notebooks start at $799, depending on size and hardware, and range up to $1099 before customization. All are available immediately through Dell Art House.

If you read long documents, browse webpages, or write code on a Windows laptop, you know the drill. You swipe, lift your fingers, and swipe again until you reach the part you need. Microsoft has three touchpad features that cut down on all that swiping.

This app turns the iPhone Duo into a pocket-sized Mac
Headroom uses macOS's built-in Screen Sharing to let users control their Mac from the foldable iPhone, without installing additional software on the computer.
Headroom App on Apple iPhone Duo controlling a Mac

The iPhone Duo has barely been out for a day, and someone's already found a way to run their Mac on it. Well, sort of. Headroom, a remote desktop app from MusicFlow, lets users control their Mac from Apple's new foldable phone, with an interface that adapts as the device opens, closes, and folds in half. Think of it as turning a pocket-sized phone into a miniature MacBook, minus the actual MacBook.
