Comment Feed for Channel 9 - Dell’s Inspiron Duo is the World’s First Fliptop PC http://files.channel9.msdn.com/thumbnail/909f997a-e312-4a31-937c-8a8ca48b9480.png Channel 9 - Dell’s Inspiron Duo is the World’s First Fliptop PC Laptop, Desktop, now Fliptop. Dell may state their new Inspiron Duo PC has a flip-hinge design, but I think Fliptop is a much better way to describe their innovative new form factor. At first glance, the Duo looks like a standard 10.1” notebook, but give that screen a little tap, and it’ll flip right around to switch into a touch-screen tablet. Armed with Windows 7 Home Premium, Intel’s Atom N550 processor and 2GB RAM, the Inspiron Duo also packs a suite of touch apps to convert the PC into a picture frame, alarm clock and touch screen music player. Drop it into the optional JBL Audio Station speaker dock and you can really get the party started. It’s dinky, so you’ll only get a couple of USB 2.0 ports, but there’s 320GB hard drive on board, Bluetooth and 802.11n Wi-Fi connectivity and a SIM Card socket for web on the road. As ever in life, not all is perfect – note that the Duo lacks Ethernet and video out ports, so it’s very much designed to be a mobile device. Remember, “Fliptop”, you heard it here first. Rats, just checked the web. Everyone’s calling it a fliptop. Bah.   en Sat, 25 May 2013 04:30:45 GMT Sat, 25 May 2013 04:30:45 GMT Rev9 Re: Dell’s Inspiron Duo is the World’s First Fliptop PC posted by bob
