Dell has been shipping upgraded versions of their Inspiron Mini 9 netbook with unusable storage, after models were built using a software image that only recognized the basic 4GB SSD. The issue arose with netbooks where customers had specified larger, optional SSD capacity - 8GB or 16GB - which Dell’s stock installation of Ubuntu was [...]
The Dell Inspiron Mini 12, aka the Inspiron 1210 or “Dell’s 12-inch netbook”, has shown up on the company’s site, complete with a service manual and other details. Larger than the existing Dell Inspiron Mini 9, which uses an 8.9-inch LCD, the Mini 12 has a 12.1-inch 1,280 x 800 display and the pick of [...]

Shots purporting to be of the Dell E Slim ultraportable netbook have emerged, with what appears to be a 12.1-inch LCD and running Windows Vista. According to a screenshot of the Vista system information (which you can see after the cut), the netbook is running an Intel 1.3GHz processor with 1GB of RAM; it’s also listed [...]
Dell’s partnership with carrier Vodafone UK has meant that, for the cost of a two-year data contract, users can have a “free” Inspiron Mini 9 netbook and 3G HSDPA connectivity without the hassle or bulk of an external dongle. Pocket-lint have reviewed the WWAN-integrated Mini 9, and come away with mixed feelings: having everything built [...]
Multitouch isn’t a total stranger to notebooks - Dell’s Latitude XT shipped with a capacitive touchscreen that, in July, got a firmware update to enable pinch-zooming and other gestures, while Synaptics’ latest touchpads have multitouch-style gestures - but it’s been a harder sell than in, say, Apple’s iPhone and iPod touch.

Last time I ordered a Dell PC, I have to go through 10 plus pages of endless configuration steps (exaggerates) . There were too many and countless of optional antivirus, accessories, application and bunch of unnecessary junks for a simple task- order a pc online. As if that’s not enough, Dell has launched a movie [...]
Dell has snuck in two low end but affordable monitors at its online store. Both models feature a new rounded edge design with detachable stand, and 16:10 widescreen resolution of 1440×900 with inexpensive TN LCD panel. The smaller 17-inch S1709w sport a VGA output with moderated 600:1 contrast and 250 cd/m2 brightness. Feature wise is [...]
Dell have responded to customer criticism and dropped the premium pricing it placed on the Alpine White version of its Inspiron Mini 9 netbook. The netbook, which begins at $349, originally had the glossy white casing as a $25 upgrade; that’s now been flattened so that black or white will cost the same.
With power consumption at 34W, Dell’s M109S DLP Micro Projector is never going to end up squashed inside a cellphone, but for the mobile presenter the 0.8lb device could be a godsend. Capable of throwing a 858 x 600 SVGA image from either composite or VGA, Popular Mechanics have been putting a prototype of the [...]
