Willing to look at Dell again…

Ok, now I know I bagged on Dell just a few days ago.  But rumors have been spreading about a new mini Dell laptop that’s supposed to be released any day now – Inspiron 910.  Now this is not the typical high powered laptop that I would normally be drooling over, in fact it’s the complete opposite.  Some of the specs for this mobile marvel, that most sites agree are definitely in, are a 9" screen, 1GB of RAM, with the choice of either a 4GB, 8GB, or 16GB SSD, and a built-in media card reader.  One of the more "if/possible" items include an option for a built-in 3G/Broadband card. All of this is rumored to start out at an astounding $299 price point.

Looking at the picture and specs, this little marvel isn’t going to be for everyone.  The 910 will be THE ticket for a mobile computer user that does their work from the Internet.  With ability to have a nearly 100% connection time (Ethernet, WiFi, or 3G/cellular broadband), users of this will be able to access all of their work from the cloud.  The size alone makes it highly attractive to those who have to travel quite a bit as part of their job.  I mean have you seen a laptop that fits on a tray top in coach lately? 

Now if I could only get Apple to make this same computer for their Mac line.
