Dell previews small desktop computer
Dell will roll out a small desktop computer this summer that’s designed to use 70 percent less energy.
The new model, previewed by CEO Michael Dell at Fortune magazine’s Brainstorm: Green conference on environmental issues, is about 81 percent smaller than a standard mini-tower design. It’s small enough to sit in an adult’s hand, said spokesman David Frink.
The company did not provide details about the new PC’s specifications, but it sent along this photo of the new machine.

Talk about your external hard drives… this system will be nice if we make it right. I think this is a good move for Dell - getting into new markets like this one. Apple has had a very small desktop and it’s nice to see Dell trying to get into this market. Hope it works out for the best!

Awww! How cute, but what a shame that now the market cares about LAPTOPS and NOT desktops - as usual, Dell is hopelessly behind the curve…any bets on when the stock will fall below $10…anyone?
