Dell Quits Netbooks For Ultrabooks

My mom paid for a netbook recently, ignoring my pleading recommendation to instead obtain an iPad. Maybe she likes updating antivirus definitions, or maybe she is seeking deliver to shopping a new a when this a dies precisely a day outward its guaranty period. One thing's for sure, though: When she buys other one, it won't be a Dell.

Dell is getting out of the race-to-the-bottom that is the netbook market, and will instead combine on thinner, ultrabook-ish laptops. It will still sell the Inspiron Duo, its oddity netbook with a pop-out inscription for a shade (which could moreover be deliberate as a inscription with a set of keys case).

Speaking to the Verge's Joanna Stern, Dell fixed that it will not be creation any new netbooks formed on Intel's Cedar Trail Atom chip. "Thin and absolute is where it is at for us" mentioned Dell's Marketing Director Alison Gardner.

It's no surprise. Unless you hexed minuscule Elven fingers (and superhuman patience), then you may hated your netbook. Tablets do a improved work in roughly every area, are more unstable and have an even longer battery life. Also, ultrabooks affirm the same battery life as the netbooks of old, and have full-sized keyboards. It's hard to see where netbooks fit in.
