Dell E–Slim rocks up at Tesco

12 Sep 2008

Blimey, Tesco really is throwing itself into this whole gadget thing wholeheartedly. Yesterday it was movie and TV downloads, today the slinky Dell E Slim series.The laptop, which reared its head back in June, has found its way onto the supermarket’s website, with Engadget managing to pick up all the deets on what we can expect from the Mini 9’s big bro.Under the hood you’ll get Linux, 40GB HDD, 1GB of RAM, an Intel Atom and 3–in–1 card reader. All this and a 12.1in screen that’ll make the likes of the 9in Mini 9 look the size of a stamp.And then there’s the price. Tesco is offering it at a stonking £299, far better than the 400 nicker you’ll need to stump up for the HP Mini–Note.The E Slim is set to come in a string of different colours when it finally launches, although Dell’s being pretty coy about when that will actually be.So, we suggest you keep an eye on Tesco and get to grips with the E Slim’s smaller netbook rivals in our round–up feature.Essentials Dell E–Slim Price: £299 On sale: TBA Contact: Tesco

    Stuff has got to be more precise as to when this is coming out and keep the comparisons between subnotebooks updated because this is important. I am looking for one and, besides the constant fear that Apple will bring out a touchscreen tablet, i'm finding hard to be patient for this when the Acer Aspire one is just there and waiting to be used...

    Hi Ben We always endeavour to be precise about release dates, but with leaks it can be difficult to pin down an exact time. Rather than give an arbitrary date, we try and find out when a product is coming out and report that separately. In terms of comparisons, keep your eyes peeled for more features and top tens soon. With things moving so fast, it is hard to keep up, even for us! Cheers and thanks for your comments Joe
