Good news for plurality advocates in general, and Linux fans in particular: during a press event, Dell has announced a shift in its Linux strategy, one that seems to contradict recent moves by competitors who are de-emphasizing Linux models: Windows and Linux models will be made available simultaniously.

Dell has also cut costs on the 10v by using an Intel Atom N processor in place of the 10's pricier Atom Z processor, which offers optional 720P hi-def video support plus longer battery life.
The Z processor is typically designed for small (handheld) computers. It is NOT more powerful, albeit more expensive, but does use less power. My N270 and N280 both play my x264 720p content.
I guess that's a problem when people who aren't technologists write articles unfortunately.
