Expect Dell's "mini-Inspiron" at Computex Taipei

More details will have to wait till Computex Taipei kicks off on June 3 when the PC tradeshow will also unveil other players' offerings in the mini-notebook arena. Until then, feast on the above pictures, courtesy of Engadget.

the pencil in the photo is inappropriate, perhaps just want to remind us that not all things should be made complicated & manufacturers instead present devices as simple & functional as this is; as to the 'cold war' days when the US was tinkering on a sophisticated approach to fabricate a ballpoint pen that could be used in outer space, but then Russia stick to the use of a pencil without worrying about the effect of weightlesness in space on a writing instrument/ink...

hahaha...just as many are anticipating, after Asus' brave introduction of Eee all other manufacturers are on the foray of the sub-notebook market thatwould benefit all consumers alike (in terms of form factor/functionality/price point). now count the days of desktop (performance laptops will replace them), pda (integrated smartphones will overtake them sans costly 3G+/unusable near-field connectivities-wifi/irda/ to RF)...except device/s such as ipod-touch of course.
