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.

New for this year’s holiday season the computer manufacturer has just launched a line of desktop PCs with small form factors…and surprisingly, quite a lot of power too.  Called the Dell Inspiron Zino HD, these mini machines offer up to 8 GB of RAM, 1 TB of hard drive space, a 1.8GHz dual-core AMD Athlon Neo X2 6850e CPU, a 512MB ATI Radeon HD 4330 GPU, a Blu-Ray drive, DVD burner, HDMI out, a 4-in-1 card reader, four USB 2.0 sockets, a pair of eSATA ports, Wi-Fi, and a wireless keyboard and mouse. The PCs start at $229, but if you trick them out with all the options, the price can end up being a lot more.

If you can wait to purchase, the line will soon feature a TV Tuner option as well, although that won’t be available at launch unfortunately.

The Zino PCs run Windows 7 and come with a wireless remote, too. You can learn more about the line on Dell’s website here.

Sure, you might be able to find a netbook in blue or red, but you’ll never find any that look like this. This new line of netbooks from Dell – the Inspiron Minis - are true works of art. Like their big brothers, the Studio 15 and 17 laptops, these netbooks are customized with different patterns that are etched and painted right into the laptop cover itself. The Inspiron Minis feature five different patterns from Tristan Eaton which will cost you an extra $50 on top of the price of the netbook itself ($349 for the Mini 9 and $549 for the Mini 12).

I just installed the Dell Dock on my PC. You may remember hearing a while ago about how Dell was pre-installing their own custom app launcher on their Studio Laptops. However, back then there didn’t appear to be any way to get access to their proprietary software short of actually buying a PC with the Dell Dock installed. That doesn’t appear to the case any longer.

I’ve been monitoring this thread on Dell’s IdeaStorm site, patiently waiting for someone to post the links I was too lazy…err…busy…to locate myself. Sure enough, a few days ago a user posted links to two different versions of the Dell Dock application:

“Download both and install. One of them will work for you,” he says. Since I have an Inspiron 1520, it was no problem to install the executable, which is packaged just like any other Dell driver. (No idea if it will run on any other PC brands…let me know). A few minutes later, my Dell Dock was up and running.

Although I had been using RocketDock before, I prefer how the Dell Dock lets you group several different applications under one heading (menu icon). For example, under the “Office” icon there are icons for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. You can customize the dock by adding your own apps either to the dock itself or under one of the main headings. And when you move an app onto the dock, the software asks you if you want to leave the shortcut on the desktop or remove it. You can also customize the dock’s location, behavior (like the auto-hide setting, for example), and even its color.

If you like using docks for desktop organization, this one isn’t too bad. I just might have to keep it.
