Hardware, Embedded Systems Dell has finally released a few glimpses on their upcoming Eee 900 competitor, called the Dell E (name subject to change). The Dell E sports an 8.9 inch display with three variations of configurations: Dell E, E Video, and E Video+, with one increasing the specifications respectively. Dell is also launching a second MID, the Dell E Slim, with a larger 12.1 inch display and two configurations: E Slim, and E Slim+. Both devices will run Linux and Windows XP.

Hmmm.....

Not much info to go on, really.

It's good to see more manufacturers offering these type of options. Most of these seem to be supplementary stuff, good on the road but not quite a complete desktop replacement (unless it runs on a lightweight, Xfce based Linux distro)..

Dell's competitors will probably announce similar stuff soon. So far we have Asus, Acer, HP, Sony and now Dell. The VIA/Intel battle seems to be shaping up nicely, which bodes well for us consumers. Still waiting for the dual-Atom offerings, though.

Also waiting to see how Ubuntu Netbook Remix will turn out.
