We got a nice helping of slides dropped on our virtual doorstep this evening, fleshing out Dell's upcoming netbook -- which they seem to be calling the "Dell E." Um, Eeenteresting name choice, but that doesn't seem set in stone, and there's plenty else going on here to ponder over. 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.

Oh, and the price? Dell E starts at $299.

As a Jew from Brooklyn, that's a name I can definitely get behind. I'll take mine in corned beef pink please.

are they any specs for the 12 inch... my girlfriend just got a samsung q45 , the price has dropped on them quite a bit since they came out late last year. I purchased the dell xps 1330 last year , the q45 is just slightly smaller, it feels about the same in weight. I wonder if the 12 inch is going be what replaces the 1330 as its it been on the market since august .
