With the Dell Inspiron Mini 9 already having shipped, it comes as a bit of a confusion as to why Tesco is selling a moderately unrecognizable Dell laptop for £299. The image shown beow is clearly the Inspiron Mini 9, but it’s labeled as an Inspiron Z530. What’s more confusing then that is the fact that there is currently no 12 inch Atom based laptop model available by Dell under any product model. Plus, there’s nothing listed anywhere about the Z530.

These specs do match up directly with the unreleased 12.1 inch E Slim offered by Dell. You’re looking at a 1.6GHz Atom processor, 2.6lb weight, 12 in WXGA 1,366 x 768 resolution display, 40GB hard drive, and Ubuntu Linux.

I guess we’ll have to wait until October 6th to find out more!

There’s not a ton more to say on the topic besides that. Dell has officially rolled out the first shipment of their newest model, the Inspiron Mini 9 netbook. Anyone who ordered this little laptop when the page launched has most likely already opened up their new toy and started tinkering away with it. If you weren’t there on day one, you’ll probably be seeing your laptop in sometime this week, so don’t worry to much about it.

And for those of you who decided not to buy one, you may want to reconsider. This thing is pretty neat.

The Dell Inspiron Mini 9 has made a splash since it’s launch just this past weekend and it looks like there’s already some confusion. Apparently there are at least two versions of this netbook floating around the world. One of them won’t be hitting the states until much later this year. That version being the one with built in 3G.

While the boards are exactly identical, it would seem that there isn’t the right hardware for it in the US version. So our overseas friends will be enjoying their 3G systems sold from Vodafone, we’ll just have to enjoy what free WiFi we can actually find. Either that or wait until the end of the year, your call.

We would hate to get your hopes up and dash them away, but there’s always something that’s worth chancing it. Rumor has it that this Friday, September 5th, will be the official launch date of the Dell Inspiron 910.

The Inspiron 910 is Dell’s first step into the netbook market and it’s definitely causing some waves. There unfortunately is no pricing information available, even for this rumor, so we’ll have to wait and see what they’re looking to get for this nice looking machine. The Inspiron 910 is expected to take a lot bigger share of the netbook market then other competitors to the Eee PC due to it’s branding, but only time will tell how true that statement is.

Prices of Solid State Disks (SSD) are dropping like crazy recently. Don’t believe me? Check out what Dell has started offering:

Their XPS line-up has been well known for having versatility all around. But being able to buy a 128GB SSD for the XPS M1330 and M1530 laptops for just $450 is quite the price cut.

While this is nowhere near as good as the type-o we saw reducing the price of the upgraded SSD to $80 less than the regular system, it’s a step in the right direction for the format that everyone is craving to get in larger quantities.

The drives are direct from Samsung too, so that’s got to same something for the quality.

My obsession with these mini-laptops continues.

Dell has just released screen shots of their newest laptop that might give the current reigning champions like the Asus Eee PC and the Cloudbook a run for their money.

This device was seen being carried around by none other than Michael Dell during a recent convention, and with the power Dell holds over the general audience, we may actually see them taking charge in this field due to the familiarity people have with them.

With all the newer models of mini-laptops coming forward with Atom based processors, it looks like Dell picked the perfect time to make the jump.

Apparently Dell isn’t willing to sit out on the mini laptop design anymore and will soon be releasing their own 8.9 inch screen laptop sometime this summer. While it’s no doubt that the idea was in their minds from the second Dell saw the success of Asus and Everex, they are definitely one of the last to make it to this party.

No solid details have been confirmed, however, the summer time launch happens to match up pretty well with the expected launch of Intels new Atom processor.

Dell makes some of the best laptops than any other manufacturer. They usually always offer the best that you can possibly have along with great quality and an affordable price. That is why we were surprised when we noticed the screen resolution of the XPS m1530 was only 1280×800 display – which as we all know isn’t the best that Dell can offer.

Dell seemed to have noticed the disappointment emanating from its loyal consumers and has ade changes to rectify the situation by adding two more resolutions for consumers to choose from. Consumers can get the 1440×900 for only $50 and the WSXGA+ 1680×1050 for $150.
