Dell now is offering more than 120 artist-created designs for the covers of its Studio 15 and Studio 17 notebooks as well as some of its Inspiron Minis. The designer covers add about $85 to the price of the Studio notebook computers, but $20 goes to the Global Fund to fight AIDS and other diseases. Digital Trends (4/30)

Global shipments of netbook computers, which ballooned 2,424% last year, likely will grow 68.5% this year and taper off to 39.6% next year and 13.1% by 2013, according to iSuppli. The research outfit said the netbook industry’s slowing growth would be a function of an improving economy, in which consumers will buy more powerful, more expensive machines. InformationWeek (4/30)
