Dell has officially taken the wraps off its next netbook offerings - the Inspiron Mini 10.

The Atom-powered system, pictured below, sits nicely between the existing Inspiron Mini 9 and Inspiron Mini 12. It sports a 10.1in LED display that provides a 1,024x576 resolution, and can be configured with a choice of Intel Atom processors - including the 1.33GHz Intel Atom Z520 and 1.6GHz Intel Atom Z530.

On top of that, there's all sorts of netbook familiarity. Users can expect 1GB of DDR2 memory, Intel's integrated GMA500 graphics, up to a 160GB hard disk, a built-in webcam, Wi-Fi connectivity, and Microsoft's Windows XP operating system.

As of today, a pre-configured model is being offered exclusive to US customers through QVC. Dell expects to make the system available via Dell.com on February 26th, and it should roll out to other regions shortly after.

The base model - featuring the 1.3GHz Atom processor and a lacklustre three-cell battery - will be listed at $399.

First thought.. don't under estimate the importance of a VGA port. HDMI is very nice but just wont cut it everywhere.

Also seems a bit pricey, if the AMD based netbooks (or inbetweens) are released at the same price point I know which I would buy.
1024x576? That is worse than the current crop of netbooks! I had planned to get this as they were promising 720p playback- obviously not on this screen! Oh well, hopefully someone will get it right for me in time for the win7 launch when I will replace my lappy with a netbook of some description!

Oops! Looking at the dell site the 720p version will be ‘optional’ later on. There is still hope yet…
