Tesco Offers Dell Inspiron Mini 10 Netbook Tesco Jumps Dell on Pricing Info

Whether by accident or design, the UK retailer Tesco has not only begum
offering Dell's Inspiron Mini 10 Atom powered netbook via its Tesco
Direct online portal but have also let the Dell Inspiron Mini 10
netbbook's unit pricing out of the bag in advance of Dell making any
official statement in a more that's sure to result in a few red faces at
both companies.

Dell, who has been particularly tight-lipped concerning the unit pricing
of its Inspiron Mini 10 notebook, are yet to issue any official
statement at the time of writing concerning its Inspiron Mini 10
notebook's price point being let out of the bag, so to speak, but
there's no doubt that any fanfare planned by Dell concerning the release
of the Inspiron Mini 10's price has, thanks to Tesco, been totally
undermined (assuming that Tesco have released this information without
Dell's knowledge and/or approval).

There are no surprises concerning the Dell Inspiron Mini 10 notebook's
specifications as detailed by Tesco Direct:

1.6GHz Atom Z530 Processor*
1GB RAM
160GB 5400rpm HDD
10/100 LAN RJ 45
802.11b/g Wireless
3 x USB
MS XP Home OS

* Interestingly Tesco actually bill the Mini 10's CPU as a 1.33GHz Z520,
but we assume that this is an error on their part, as the CPU of the
Mini 10 has already been confirmed by Dell as being the 1.6GHz Z530.

Tesco Direct list the Dell Inspiron Mini 10 netbbook for pound
sterling349 (circa $480 as at the time of writing).
