Dell has unveiled their latest ultraportable notebook today, the Vostro V13, which should cost one-third the price of the competing Macbook Air and one quarter the price of the Adamo XPS.
Thinner than the Air at .65-inches thick, has a 13.3-inch display and will weigh only 3.5 pounds. Base configuration includes a webcam, ExpressCard slot, 802.11n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and a Celeron processor for $449 USD. However, you will only get Ubuntu Linux as an operating system with the base configuration, as well as 2GB DDR3 RAM and a 5400RPM 250GB HDD.
For $600 the configuration adds Windows 7 Home Premium, a Core 2 Duo ULV processor and larger, faster HDD.
The included six-cell battery gives an estimated 5 hour battery life.
