Excellent idea

The Inspiron Duo packs more power than the average netbook
Its dual-core processor and reasonably beefy integrated graphics chip can handle the sort of HD video clips that would have most mini laptops chugging like Stephenson's Rocket. The screen is also deliciously hi-res at 1366 x 768. The design is also reassuringly rugged

Windows 7 isn't as geared up for touch as iOS or Android

With colours and brightness dropping off once your bounce moves even slightly off-centre. The hybrid design also brings some issues along with it
While 1.5kg isn't heavy by netbook standards
It's very bulky
Inexplicably slow Dell touch apps
The way the finger touch resolution isn't quite good enough to accurately tap fiddly Windows controls

The Dell Inspiron Duo is far more powerful than most notebooks, but the inclusion of a keyboard and the rest makes it a lot less easy to live with than the likes of the iPad. Dell Inspiron Duo is tagged with Dell Inspiron Duo, Dell, netbook and tablet....
Abstract: Remember the Dell Inspiron Duo flip tablet netbook hybrid we told you was coming soon? We've just had some proper hands-on time with the dinky device, as well as the key specs, and are here to give you the good, the bad and the not so ugly. With the sudd...
Clever and refreshing take on convertible tablet design. High resolution screen. Excellent keyboard and mouse button combination. Sturdy netbook. 2GB of DDR3 memory included. Fast-spinning hard drive
Bare-bones feature set. Battery is small and not user-removable. Poor battery life. Touch performance is sluggish. Components can't handle Windows 7 Home Premium. Cluttered with 3rd party and proprietary software.

While I love the idea of a laptop which can convert into a tablet, sometimes you can’t have your cake and eat it too. I love the design of the Inspiron Duo. It looks and feels great, and it works quite well as a laptop, but as a tablet the duo fails. P...
Abstract: by Daniel Rasmus At first glance, the Duo screams industrial design. Its rotating flip 1366x768-resolution LCD display is a cool addition to many of the clumsier approaches of the past. Unfortunately, the screen inside the innovative swivel hinges ...
The Dell Inspiron Duo has a lot of promise. So much promise that I told several friends to wait for it before buying a tablet. And it does have many great uses. I couldn’t watch half of my favorite shows in coffee shops, the office or anywhere else on ...
Feb 10 2011 - For those looking to get a netbook with a touchscreen, the Dell Inspiron Duo is a very attractive and unique system. The high resolution 10-inch multitouch display function well but the software really could use more than a netbook proces...
