Dell Mini 5 – A Large Smartphone or a Small Tablet?
January 10, 2010
Dell is reportedly readying a tablet called the Dell Mini 5, which is supposed to be driven by Google’s Android OS. This device actually looks like a big touchscreen smartphone. And though it does offer all essentials of a smartphone, it might seem a little odd holding this device at your ear, when answering a call. Hence, it is more apt in the netbook category - preferably a slate or tablet. These are a few pictures that Pocket-Lint managed to capture at Las Vegas, where at CES, the device is said to have been announced.
It is a beautiful piece with a 5″ touchscreen. This tablet will allow users to make and receive calls. It is said to have a SIM card slot. 3G networks are supposed to be compatible with the handheld too. Even WiFi connectivity will be offered. Video calling is also expected to be supported. There are 2 cameras, one on the front (for video calls) and the other one (5MP) on the back. For answering phone calls, a headset will as well be shipping with the gadget.
The Dell Mini 5 Tablet is expected to be available in red, black and pink colours. The other details - detailed specifications, pricing and availability are yet to be announced. However, Dell has reportedly mentioned that they are working on similar devices with different sizes and form factors as well.

Dell Adamo XPS Laptop – The Thinnest Laptop Ever
November 13, 2009
The Dell Adamo XPS Laptop has been sculpted so as to drive the Apple MacBook Air to the gym. Labelled as the thinnest laptop known till now, the Dell Adamo XPS is just 9.9mm thick. This ultraslim notebook has managed to bag in a decent set of specifications, all packed in a jaw-droppingly attractive case. However, there’s room for complaints as the battery life is poor and the price touches the sky.
The laptop sports a unique design. You need to rub your finger over a heat sensor, which lets the laptop open out on its own. The battery forms a stand at the back, making the aluminium keyboard tilt on to the user’s lap. How ergonomic this structure will be, is yet to be seen!
The 13.4-inch, 1366 x 768 pixels screen of this notebook can handle high definition content. Other specifications include an Intel Core 2 Duo 1.4GHz ULV processor, a 4GB DDR3 RAM, a 128GB solid state drive and Windows 7 OS. Despite its slender construction, it manages to house 2 USB ports, a mini Display port and a headphone socket. WiFi and Bluetooth are supported. Ethernet connectivity can be achieved using a dongle.
This laptop offers a stunted battery life of about 2.5 hours. Using a more powerful battery can extend the life up to 5 hours. On the weight front, the Apple MacBook Air still takes the lead, as the Adamo XPS weighs about 1.44kg. The Dell Adamo XPS Ultraslim Notebook will be priced at about $1,799 (~£1000) in the US. It might hit stores right in time for Christmas. However, there has been no information regarding a UK release.
