Last year, the Dell Vostro V13 affordable small business notebook surprise, a thin 13-inch model, which stood at an affordable Adamo for budget shoppers. Dell Vostro V130 holiday update, keeps the same aluminum-and magnesium-alloy flat design as the V13, but the innards are a boost.

The V130, like many Dell laptops come in a variety of configurations, from affordable to expensive  as well as oem software and goes up. Our Core i5 V130 has a ULV processor, which runs about half as fast as a standard core i5 you would see in a regular laptop. The branding is confusing (the label says: “Core i5″ without distinction clear), but the performance is a bit zippier than on a last-generation Core 2 Duo ULV.

The V130 is thin, and it is also light 3.5 pounds, easily gripped in one hand. The matte 13.3-inch screen like on Western Digital My Passport Essential SE 1 TB HDD looks fresh and bright, and the keyboard is quite comfortable for typing, although the touch pad seems small compared to a MacBook Air . While Dell’s web site is intended for Vostro V130 for small businesses, there is no reason why this notebook is not equally good for everyone. The addition of HDMI output on a rear-facing strip of ports is a small tweak, but a useful for travelers.

Pricing on the V130 starts very aggressively at $ 429, which sounds great on paper, but you will always only a Celeron ULV CPU, 2 GB RAM, a 250GB hard drive and Linux OS. A whopping 21 other configurations are available, climbing on top of $ 1,073 for a Core i5 ULV CPU, 4 GB RAM and a 128GB SSD drive. On configs costing under $ 1000 could be the V130 a good choice for someone on the free market for a super-small laptop optical drive. For higher-priced SSD configs but could some be tempted to go with the even smaller MacBook Air instead.

The Barnes & NOOKcolor Noble is a 7-inch eBook reader with a 1024 x 600 pixel LCD color display. It runs Google Android and sells for $ 249, making it a relatively affordable Android tablet. The only problem (for people who use it as a general purpose tablet) is that out of the box, it runs only a few apps including Barnes&  Noble eBook software and a web browser. But the people at the xda-developers forum have, as you root access to the NOOKcolor that you install third party applications and may eventually install custom firmware making all kinds of changes can be mapped win.

I suspect that for now, you’re better off getting a pill that would normally be undertaken by third-party applications like on Western Digital My Passport Essential SE 1 TB HDD, if that’s what you are looking for was. At least I suspect you will void the warranty if you break something while tinkering around with a rooted NOOKcolor. Nevertheless, this opens the door to a lot of interesting possibilities, for example to buy software online. I mean, on … Angry is the birds in the photo … come to an eBook reader!

The Dell Inspiron Duo is expected next week. The duo is one of the most fascinating 10-inch mini-laptops, this year, thanks to a unique design that convert the computer from netbook mode, you can use the screen around and close the lid tablet.

But the convertible tablet functionality is only one of the things that the duo makes them different. It can also has a rubberized case, an optional docking station that you use your computer with external speakers, and Dell Media Stage software that launches automatically when you convert from laptop-tablet mode.

The Dell software includes Stage paint music, photos, videos, books, games, and Internet applications like on Alienware AM11x-826CSB. Because Windows 7 standard apps do not tend to them as good low-cost tablet was able to walk (probably due to hardware limitations), it is nice to see that Dell has put some effort into improving the experience.

That is, the folks at Laptop Magazine has a pre-release version of the Dell Inspiron duo for a spin, and the media software looks kinda slow at the moment. It’s worth keeping in mind that this pre-release software and hardware, however, and things can get better on the final version like on oem software download.
