Dell Calls it Quits for Netbooks

Dell has announced that the company will not be selling netbooks any further, and will set its aim at a concentration solely on laptops. 

According to Dell Global Consumer PR director, Matthew Hutchison, Dell will concentrate on manufacturing high quality laptops from now on. Consumers can expect the future laptops from Dell to be thin with powerful features.

Hutchison stated that Dell’s main focus will be on producing products with superior features similar to the recently introduced XPS 14z, a product that received favorable consumer ratings. 

Netbooks were introduced by Dell in the year 2008. According to Intel’s records, as many as 70 million Atom processors were shipped for Dell’s mini laptops in the year 2010. However, with tablets introduced by iPad and other companies, Netbooks failed to top the list of consumers’ preferences. 

Dell has ceased the sale of both Inspiron Mini 1012 and Mini 1018. These devices no longer appear on Dell’s website. A representative from the company has confirmed with news sources that the  Mini Inspiron is not currently offered for sale. 

The Mini netbook from Dell resembled notebooks in many respects. However, the corresponding features and performance were not found in the mini Inspiron series. 

Dell stopped manufacturing the 12-inch and 9-inchen Inspiron Minis a while ago. This was done prior to the launch of Inspiron Mini 10s (HD). Although the features of Inspiron Mini 10s were quite good, it offered poor battery back up and slow navigation. 

The Streak 5 series from Dell was also dropped earlier this year.
