Comments on: Report: Dell to release a low-cost minilaptop

Dell will reportedly launch its own low-cost minilaptop this summer.

Yes, because releasing another "me too" product for $10 less is exactly what will get Dell back in the game...

It may be a "me too" release, but if it arrives as advertised, it'll top 'em all. Granted, that means that the Atom is as spunky a chip as it's supposed to be, and that both the near 9" diagonal screen and $500 price point are firm, but if so, this will at least be competitive in this nascent market, if not become the value/performance leader.

*teasing* does this mean expected price points of 499 means release retail of 799. or 899.00?? Thinking back to 199 asus that came out as 399
