Dell has been well-known for coming up with notebooks noted for its innovative designs. And just recently Dell has just showed off another uniquely designed Dell Inspiron Duo at the recently held Intel IDF 2010. Amazingly, the Dell Inspiron Duo started as a tablet device that can be converted into a notebook simply by opening its keyboard and also comes with a display screen that can literally swivel within the frame.
The Dell Inspiron Duo is set to feature the 1.5GHz Dual Core Intel Atom N550 processor. As well as 1GB or 2GB of DDR3 memory and a HDD storage drive(no capacity sizes were announced). The Duo will feature the normal I/O connectivity that you would normally find on a netbook of it’s size. The device during the presentation showcased a custom UI that makes Windows 7 more touch friendly(i.e. bigger icons). Dell didn’t exactly let people have any 1-on-1 time with the Duo during the presentation so it’s hard to really say anything more about the device.
The price and official release date are kinda fuzzy, the presenter for Dell at IDF 2010 said they will launch this hybrid netbook by the end of the year but didn’t give any specific date. Hopefully Dell will be good enough to release more details on this very interesting portable device in coming months.
