The Dell E Range 8.9inch and 12.1inch form factor laptops Friday, June 13th, 2008

Dell call them the Mobile Internet Devices.

The prices start from $299 to compete in the “mini” market.

Comes with either Linux or Windows XP (yes XP).

Next Up is the larger 12.1″

Based on the CPU this has been designed with mobility and cost in mind and not cutting edge performance.

I am really pleased to see Dell tackle this new market “Cheap Mini’s” and with their supply chain management and infrastructure these are likely to catch on fast.

I am also glad Windows XP gets an afterlife. it may have shipped in 2001 but XP is a really solid base to build technology on.

They haven’t announced a release date yet but it can only be a few months out.
