Dell Mini Inspiron First Look: like Asus Eee and HP 2133

Its great when we get to see a new product in the wild and today we are hearing that Michael Dell bumped into the Gizmodo Staff at All Things D, now that might be good for them but what’s good for the gadget loving world is what photos they have shown us. Michael briefly showed them the laptop he was carrying, as you can see in the photos it’s much like the HP 2133 and Asus Eee.

This is a first look at this laptop and its never been seen before Michael Dell showed it, he confirmed that it’s a “low-cost notebook meant for developing countries” and it could be a Dell Mini Inspiron, although we have no official name yet.

Currently we have no word on pricing or what OS it’s running, but we do know this Mini Dell Inspiron does have Ethernet, VGA out, a card reader, three USB ports and that bright red shell. The screen size is anyone’s guess and it would be interesting when we find out the exact size as this determines which other UMPC’s it will compete with. This new mini Dell laptop will certainly be in competition with HP 2133 and Asus Eee PC. The photo below is one that was released after they saw the laptop.

It’s great to see more companies producing cheaper laptops for developing countries, there are some really great minds in these countries and we need to help them get connected with the rest of the world. What do you think of this new UMPC and it’s position in the market place?
