The original leaker also claimed the following specs:

- Intel Core 2 Duo
- 2GHz
- 3MB L2 cache
- 2GB RAM DDR III, 1066MHz
- Super Drive is SATA
(why SATA and not SAS disk?

The port configuration is consistent with previous rumors that the new Mac mini would bring improved specs. Specifically, the new Mini was described to have 5 USB ports, FireWire 800, and two Display ports (Mini DisplayPort and Mini DVI). All these can be found on the leaked photograph.

Dell claims that it consumes 71% less energy than a typical mini-tower and is Energy Star 4.0 Certified.

Physically, it is very small: 7.08”(h) x 8.26”(d) x 2.75”(w), which is comparable to an external drive – cool huh? Official Specifications:

• 320GB of hard drive
• Wifi-N
• Starting price  at £569
• RF wireless keyboard
• RF wireless mouse

Cool! Get you Dell Studio Hybrid now!

Dell is coming to the low-cost notebook party relatively late, compared to other first-tier vendors such as Hewlett-Packard (HP) and Acer. However, the Dell E series low-cost notebook will be priced at only US$299, US$100 cheaper than Acer’s Aspire one, and the market sources estimates that Dell can ship 2-3 million units this year.

The panels for the Dell notebook will be provided by Samsung Electronics and Chi Mei Optoelectronics (CMO), and perhaps AU Optronics (AUO), when the panel makers begins mass production later in the third quarter. However, the sources noted that Dell will not use all three panel suppliers at the same time.

Stay tuned ……………..

Dell’s breaking the Dell E into two device types, a 8.9-inch model clearly meant to take on the Eee 900, and the 12.1-inch “E Slim” which actually looks positioned to take on the MacBook Air and X300, at a mere 0.8-inches thick, though perhaps in a lower-end capacity.

• E Classic model for super low-end use
• E Video and E Video+ for more RAM, larger flash storage, webcams and Bluetooth
• E Slim come with WiMAX

OS? According to the close source, Dell “E” series will be runing on both Windows XP and Linux.

Dell is expected to offer accessories, such as a USB TV dongle, carry case, second battery, an auto/air adapter, Bluetooth accessories, and external HDD or DVD drive options.

Price? Dell “E” estimated start at $299.

The rep also said he had not heard about any user configurable options, so I’m not sure what’s up with that. They are however offering XP as an install option.

The notebooks are available with either 1.2GHz or 1.6GHz processors and a choice of 1GB or 2GB of RAM.  120GB or 160GB hard-drives are also options.  All will have WiFi a/b/g, a 1.3-megapixel webcam and the 6-cell battery.

The HP2133 has been designed for the education market, and as such, it is both sturdy and rugged. The shell is brushed aluminum, that feels very sleek in hand. For some reason, it brings back memories of the Palm Tungsten T for me. I know it isn’t a PDA, but just like that classic metal bodied device, I find myself wanting to pick up and touch this laptop. There are no sharp edges on this computer, all the corners are rounded and smooth.

Cool? I think this is a market trend and a rumors said Dell is preparing to go head to head with Asus and HP by releasing an Ultra Low-Cost PC in the June time frame, which raises the possibility of Intel Atom chipset
