Dell and leaks go together like peas in a pod, and just months after we saw the outfit's Vostro 1220 sneak out ahead of schedule, it seems as if another in the biz-minded line has found its way onto the web. Reportedly, Dell hosted up a few images (which have since been yanked) of a so-called Vostro 10, which seems to resemble the newer Inspiron line in design and looks to boast an almost unheard-of-at-this-size integrated optical drive. Unless Dell's just playing games (our wager is "no"), the unit should get official in the near future in black, red and blue. 'Course, the specs, price and actual ship date is anyone's guess, but feel free to pontificate in comments below.
damn dell
CULV slips in and kicks Atom out. A netbook that is actually useful, what a concept. Still don't get why people care about optical drives though, who even uses optical discs anymore?
Only to install or rip from, otherwise the media is too fragile, short lived, slow and lacking in capacity and the drives are a crumbly mechanical fail waiting to happen.
where is the story on the $10 Samsung 52 HDTV from BestBuy?!
"...boast an almost unheard-of-at-this-size integrated optical drive"
WTF? For those family size DVDs, or what?!
Why on earth would you want a spinning disc in a PC this size? I hope you can put a second battery in that space as an option..
It makes reinstalling your OS a lot easier for sure.
Looks like my kind of netbook. Now just throw Win 7 upgrade on it, and we have a deal.
Judging from the size of the keyboard, it looks like it'll be bigger than 10", maybe 11.6 or 12".
It looks like the Vostro 10, is actually a 14 incher...
Kind of kills it for me.
I had a Inpsiron 13 with a core 2 duo I was hoping to trade for a smaller 10 inch. Thought this would be it. I guess I'll still be waiting.
I actually have 2 articles in my Google Reader. The first says the 10xx are 10 inch screens and the second says 14 and 15... Someone failed.
lollipop lollipop...
