Dell Inspiron 910 / Mini Note / E / Eee competitor full specs released
This one’s been bubbling under for a while – ever since Michael Dell was spotting carrying a tiny red notebook under his arm at All Things D. The name has changed several times, and we’ve been adding pencils to all the pictures of notebooks we can, but now it’s called the Inspiron 910. Until the next time we post about it, anyway…

More Lenovo thinness with the improved ThinkPad X301 notebook PC
It’s been six months since Lenovo’s ThinkPad X300 (pictured) hit our shores, so it’s high time for an update, and it’s come in the form of… the X301.
A number of improvements over its predecessor add up to a pretty nifty notebook.
The X301 adds a 128GB solid state drive option, plus Intel Core 2 Duo ultra low volt (ULV) processor which, when coupled with the latest DDR3 memory, boasts a 20% improvement in performance over the X300. It can be fitted with either a 1.2GHz U9300 or a 1.4GHz U9400, and the front-side bus has been boosted to 1,066MHz: the X300 had just 800MHz. More oomph, basically…
Get Orange Broadband, and get a free eeePC 900 16GB
I’m getting really confused now by the plethora of eeePC model numbers. Turns out the 900 16GB is a version of the hugely popular netbook which sits inbetween the 900 and the 901. It doesn’t have the lovely Atom processor, but it does pack more storage than the 900 – an unsurprising 16GB. No word as to whether you get the Linux or the Windows model…
Lenovo IdeaPad U8: Mobile Internet Device

What do you get if you cross a Nintendo DS and a cheap, tacky looking keyboard? The “Ergonomic Dual Screen Split Keyboard Notebook Computer”. Wow – what a name…

Dell launches 12.1" E4200 notebook among new Latitude E Series range
Dell launched a whole bunch of fairly grey laptops yesterday in the shape of the new Latitude E series of notebooks designed primarily for the business world. To be fair to the world’s biggest flogger of reasonably priced computers, they have started offering the new Latitudes in five colours, although one of them is metal and another black.
The Latitiude Es include the high performance “Mainstream” E6400 and E6500 with 14.1″ and 15.4″ screens at the prices of £709 and £729 respectively; the more cost-effective “Essential” E5400 and E5500, available in the same screen sizes from just £469 and the military grade “Semi-Rugged” Latitude E6400 ATG, with a 14.1″, from £899.
Of far greater interest to us consumers, though, is the ultra-mobile Dell Latitude E4200 that measures up with a 12.1″ screen and weighs just 997g…
