Monday, June 16th, 2008

Dell netbookDell have announced the specifications for the netbook.

A total of 3 versions are planned for launch with each model offering greater capabilities i.e. differing sizes for the SSD storage, webcam and bluetooth.

Dell have set a start price of $299. We don’t have the UK prices yet but we’ll update you when they are announced.

Expect to see the Dell E netbook launch in August.

Here’s the specification list that Dell have announced:

  • First PC for emerging markets and children, youth social networking/entertainment and holiday/coffee shop use.
  • Screen 8.9″ (1024 x 600)
  • 1.6Ghz Intel Diamondville CPU
  • HDD 4/8/16 Gb Flash
  • Memory 512Mb/1Gb
  • 0.3 Mpx camera
  • WiFi, WiMax, WWANand BT
  • Battery life ~5hours
  • OS Linux or Windows XP

An interesting note here. Dell’s main focus for sales is youth and emerging markets. However, looking at the pricing and specifications of the Dell E netbook I’d say this is a serious contender for Asus.
