Dell has announced the upcoming availability of the Inspiron Duo tablet/netbook hybrid today, as well as pricing for the device.
The device will be available during the first week of December, and the base model will sell for $549.
Dell’s unique hybrid has a 10.1-inch multi-touch display.
The device runs on a dual-core Intel Atom N550 processor, has 2GB of RAM, a Broadcom Crystal HD accelerator, 250GB of storage, and Windows 7 Home Premium as the operating system.
When flipped into a tablet, the 1366×768-resolution display uses Dell’s Duo Stage UI layer, which is much more touch-friendly than standard Windows 7.
A few of the installed apps are Dell’s MusicStage, VideoStage, PhotoStage, and BookStage.

Intel has slashed the prices on their range of SSDs today, as well as adding a new, larger 120GB version to the line.
The line of X25-M maninstream drives will each see a solid discount as the holiday season approaches.
Starting with the 160GB model, the MSRP will drop to $415, the 80GB model will drop to $200 and the small 40GB will drop to $100.
The new 120GB model will sell for $250. The new version will offer the best per/GB value of the entire line.
For now the new prices seem effective only in the U.S., but expect it to be extended to the U.K., as well.

At a news conference in Taipei, Intel showed off a range of new stuff, including several high-performance desktop and low-cost server processors, the new single chip P55 chipset and a range of products from third party manufacturers that support the new Intel technology. On the processor side, the company showed off two new Core i7 processors, Core i7-860 and Core i7-870, and the first Core i5 processor, Core i5-750.
The new desktop chips were formerly codenamed “Lynnfield,” and are based on Intel’s Nehalem microarchitecture, providing very high performance for digital media, productivity, gaming and other resource hungry tasks. All three are Halogen-free, Lead-free and feature Intel Turbo Boost Technology. The Core i7 processors also support Intel Hyper-Threading Technology.
The new Core i7 and i5 processors are the first Intel processors to integrate both a 16-lane PCI Express 2 graphics port and two-channel memory controller, enabling all input/output and manageability functions to be handled by the single-chip Intel P55 Express Chipset. The P55 Express Chipset is the first from Intel to be composed of one chip, not two.
