Where the hell is the 12 inch Inspiron? Are Dell really going to bring it out? There are tech sheets around for the “E Slim” so where is it?

I really want to know battery life and upgradeability of this little puppy.
Clearly it's a Z530 + US15W (polusbo), this means a cut down chipset with in-build Mpeg4 decoder and only 2 chips combined to use less than 5 watts.
Intel will make a mint as the 530 is about half the size if the 230, the Eee 1000H is still attractive as it has 802.11n & 299GBP is only a bargain if the screen is LED lit.

420$?
Man, I will NEVER make up my mind.
Is it gonna be the Acer One in the hand or the mythical Dell Mini 9 w/Linux and now a 12 incher for 420?

Surprisigly low starting price. I would figure they would sell a 10 incher for 70$ more than the 9inch.

Of course, with all the typos, there could be a missing number somewhere.

Z530 is a HORRIBLE name stay with the slim.
Its like Dell Inspiron Mini 9, most people just skip the Inspiron part.

If you read the Engadget post you learn that the picture is of an Inspiron 9 not the new 12″ one.
