no. not at least in Asia Region. it will just occupied with the name of the model that you purchase. Quoting from Dell's response regarding this matter : "For the nameplate customization, so far, i did not hear any suggestions or plan to do that in Malaysia as it needs a special machine to do the carving of names or symbol on the plate.
If there are any changes on the customization, it will definitely be updated on the Dell website as well."
