No Dell netbook today

Word on the inside says business models coming instead

No Dell netbook today. Hardware, Laptops, Netbooks, Dell 0

Dell has confirmed to Pocket-lint that it will not be launching its much rumoured netbook model today.

According to our source on the inside, the new Mobility range, which is due to be announced later today will be a new range of business laptops rather than the tiny laptop computer showed off by Michael Dell earlier this year.

Although we don't have details of what is being launched, we've been told they won't be "consumer" focused.

The press event, being held in San Francisco and being broadcast on the web, will kick off around 5pm UK time.

Eitherway whatever the company announces we will have all the details as they happen as long as they aren't too boring.

We will keep you posted.

  • Noooooooooo!!!!

    I waited until today before buying a netbook.

    I guess the Acer One at $349 is going to be the one after all.

    Maybe someone should have told Dell about something called 'back to school' when parents do a lot of buying.     Posted by rob enderle, canada

  • Dell is likely to announce the new netbook in India on Wednesday..it did mention they eye on developing markets for growth and it will make perfect sense that they launch a ground-breaking low-end laptop AT such market. Posted by Kahon, Hong Kong
