With the gaining popularity of ultra-portable and low-cost notebook computers, like the Asus Eee 701 PC, HP 2133 and 3K RazorBook 400, it is no surprise that Dell is jumping in on the mini notebook arena. Fortunately, Gizmodo was able to spot the company’s supposed offering when Brian Lam caught Micheal Dell at the All Things Digital conference carrying a small red notebook sporting the Dell logo. Unfortunately, Dell is being tight-lipped and wasn’t willing to spill the beans on the specs.

Therefore, information is sparse; no word on what OS it is running, its screen size, or what type of processor it is using, let alone its price tag. In fact, we don’t even know what Dell is calling the laptop, but it has been dubbed the “mini Inspiron”. The only tidbit of information we know is that the notebook is equipped with three USB ports, a card reader, VGA out, and Ethernet. Additionally, Dell plans the ‘mini Inspiron’ to be an inexpensive computer aimed at developing countries. So, if I interpret that correctly, we should see it in the US, Europe, and Asia. In the meantime, Dell has teased the entire world with two photos showcasing the candy-red mini Inspiron...and it looks really good.
