M.I.S.S. Techcessories: Dell and OPI Partner to Put Polish on Laptops

Sure, you can put lipstick on a pig, but wouldn’t you rather put nail polish on a laptop?  The fine people at Dell think so as they have teamed up with the nail lacquer experts over at OPI to bring you 26 exciting, high-style OPI fashion shades to the color and artwork offerings available as options in the Dell Design Studio.  Starting next month in the U.S. (and later on down the road for everyone else), those in the market for a new Dell Mini, Inspiron, or Studio laptop will be able to customize the lid with colors like “Kyoto Pearl”, “Rosy Pearl”, and “I’m Not Really A Waitress”.   Seasonal colors will also be available, and since Christmas is right around the corner don’t be shocked to see options like “Dear Santa” and “Smitten With Mittens” (”Bitten By Kittens” didn’t make the cut, I’m afraid)).  Either way you slice it, each color will add an additional $85 on to the cost of your custom built laptop.  Just think of it as a pseudo-expensive manicure, only your computer will probably last a lot longer..

MacBook SeeThru Hard Shell Cases by Speck

First Incase released its popular slider case for the iPhone 3G in a plethora of fresh, Spring hues.  Now Speck is getting in on the act, adding four new colors to its ever expanding line of SeeThru hard shell cases for MacBooks – hazard orange, aqua, green, and purple.  The new colors join the already available pink, red and clear cases from Speck.  Specially designed for the new line of unibody MacBooks, the transluscent SeeThru hard shell case allows you to access all the MacBook’s ports and CD/DVD Drive while providing maximum protection from any scrapes and scratches that might occur during transport.  And, unlike with other cases, you can still open and close your MacBook all the way.  You can get yours today for the 13” and 15” aluminum unibody MacBook and MacBook Pro for $49.95.
