Nice. But what about a price line, Mr. Dell? Image: Dell Inc.
Considering that computer maker Dell Inc. is presently petitioning the U.S. Patent and Trademark office in an attempt to cancel the “netbook” trademark held by Psion Teklogix, the official launch of the former’s Inspiron Mini 10 may come as something of a jab in the ribs for the latter.
Specifically, Dell has this week added the Mini 10 to its range of ultra portable Web-centric computers, which sees the new and colourful portable joining the company’s burgeoning Netbook line between the original Mini 9 and the slightly larger Mini 12 platforms (although the Mini 12 is technically too big to qualify as a true Netbook).
As with most offerings in the ever-increasing world of Netbooks, the Mini 10 is powered by Intel’s mobile Atom processor alongside 1GB of RAM, a 10.1-inch LCD display (16:9), up to 160GBs of data storage in a conventional hard-disk drive, an integrated Web camera, and a HDMI port.
Also becoming the norm with ultra portables, Dell’s latest addition comes with the, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, a generously sized keyboard (92 percent of full), a triple-cell battery, and a physical weight of just 2.86 pounds (1.29 kilos).
According to Dell it will expand the Mini 10’s capabilities before the end of the year to include optional extras such as Ubuntu, 2GBs of RAM, a 250GB hard-disk drive, onboard GPS, wireless WAN, an integrated TV tuner, and a 720p high-definition display screen.
Interestingly, Dell will initially grant consumer access to the Mini 10 through popular shopping network QVC before then offering it up through its own official on February 26.
Full specifications and pricing for the Inspiron Mini 10 have not yet been released, although it’s unlikely to pass through the $500 USD mark. Prospective buyers can expect to snap up a unit in colour choices of black, white, red, pink, blue or green.
