Flash drives and cell phones were among the first electronics to explode with personalization. For years, teenagers in Japan have been adorning their cell phones in rhinestone patterns and charms, turning each text message into a form of self-expression.

Today, Dell's Design Studio has taken the personalizing of consumer electronics to the next level. People who select the Dell Studio 15 or 17 laptops can choose to adorn them with unique works from international artists like Deanne Cheuk, Maya Hayuk, Jason Holley, Tristan Eaton and urban artist Mike Ming. Now, the laptop is a fashion accessory that can express your personal style. Recently, Dell expanded the online studio to include more than 200 different designs, patterns and colors.

If art awakens the soul, there's never been a better time to indulge your artistic cravings. Dell and others recognize this draw and are making art available to everyone, truly allowing new forms of self-expression.

Beautiful, striking designs by a variety of professional artists can be a part of your laptop. For example, your computer can feature "Cathedral," a stunning piece by painter Robert Hargrave, left, or famed artist Deanne Cheuk's "Pyramid in Fall," right.
