Dell to launch 'Adamo' MacBook Air competitor?
Mac fanboys aside, most of us realised that the Macbook Air was a crystallisation of everything that Apple does – it was an archetypal Apple product. The ridiculous price, the underperforming components, and lack of features, but OH SO PRETTY! That’s why I’m a little nervous that Dell are trying to emulate the machine.
The New York Times, after noticing a few ‘Adamo’ trademark filings, did some digging on Google and eventually confronted Dell’s vice president in charge of consumer sales and marketing, Michael Tatelman, asking him if there was an Air-like product in store. His response? Click over the jump to find out.
Dell's Inspiron Mini series gets a bit bigger: the Mini 12
Dell seems quite content to put its new 12.1-inch screen computer in the Inspiron Mini category, even though there are plenty of standard notebook computers with similar sized screens.
An upgrade in size and specs from last month’s Mini 9, it features an Atom Z520 running 1.33GHz or Z530 at 1.6GHz, 1GB of RAM, 60GB hard drive, and Vista Home Basic operating system…
Dell fills its PCs with Universal MP3s
In the US, mega-computer-manufacturer Dell has done a deal with record label Universal to offer MP3s on its new computers. For the paltry sum of US$25, about £15, you can get 50 MP3s from Universal pre-loaded onto your computer when you buy it. Other download platforms in the US would charge you about US$50 for the same quantity of songs…
Hack makes Dell Inspirion Mini a little bit bigger inside
Clever hardware hacker JKKMobile has made a bit of a name for himself on the netbook “scene”. In the past he’s installed touchscreens, Ubuntu where it shouldn’t be and all sorts, and posted videos of his achievements on YouTube – all narrated with his excellent slightly-creepy east-European accent. Now he’s done it again with what looks to me, the layman, like a surprisingly simply hack – he’s upgraded the solid-state hard-disk inside the Dell Inspiron Mini 9, showing just how easy it is to replace the 4, 8 or 16GB SSD with one much bigger – on his video he goes for 32GB.
Dell & Tesco bringing Linux to the masses – launching £299 Inspiron Z530 "Web Browser" in October
Tesco selling Dell laptops – a match made in retailer heaven. Only, the thing is, and we’d hate to be the ones breaking this to the poor, confused buyer, the Z530 will be running Linux.
The Z530 is described by Tesco as a “Web Browser” rather than a Laptop, PC, portable computer or any of the more usual terms, so presumably Dell and Tesco are aiming…
Dell launches Inspiron Mini 9 netbook in the UK
Dell has finally launched its long-awaited Inspiron Mini 9 netbook, featuring an 1.6GHz Intel Atom processor and Integrated Graphics Media Accelerator 950…
Dell Inspiron 910 coming tomorrow? Don't expect to be able to type properly on it
There are rumours doing the Internet rounds that Dell may finally be about to release its Inspiron 910 portable notebook PC.
We’ve been expecting it for a while now, but a Wall Street Journal source reckons it could be announced tomorrow.
Apparently, the 8.9-inch XP or Linux notebook will be easy to upgrade various aspects of the PC, including memory and solid-state drive, thanks to their easy accessibility from the base panel.
Inside Dell’s 910: SSD (1), WWAN module (2), memory (3), WLAN module (4)
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…
Dell WANTS IN on the MP3 player and music retailing scene?
Box-shifter par excellence Dell is planning to enter the MP3 player market, according to a bit of sniffing around from the Wall Street Journal.
The WSJ reckons that Dell wants a bit of the lucrative music retailing pie as well, so is planning to launch what industry experts will be calling an “iTunes killer” alongside its alleged range of players…
