14 DAY TRIAL // August might just be one of the hottest months this summer, as far as technology is concerned. And that is because a number of interesting and highly anticipated products are expected to make their debut in August. And that is also the case with Dell, which is believed to roll out a small-sized, low-priced portable computer, known as Dell E, or Mini Inspiron. But according to some recent news, this might not be the only highly anticipated product Dell will release this August.
For those of you who haven't forgotten Dell's Studio Hybrid desktop computer system, current news seems to indicate that the product is still expected to make its debut. In fact, one of Engadget's readers was able to get his hands on a couple of graphic photos of the upcoming model, which were found on one of Dell's internal customer service session pages, and which helped users synchronize their wireless keyboard and mouse to the Studio Hybrid PC.
According to the filenames of these pictures, the upcoming PC is codenamed Nausicaa, which stands for "burner of ships" in Greek. Nausicaa is also the name of a character in ancient Greek literature.
While we can't really say what the product is meant to "destroy", we can say that it is expected to feature an Intel chipset, 4GB of RAM and to provide its users with 320GB of storage space. According to some leaked details we presented to you a while back, it should also be equipped with WiFi, a DVD+R drive, five USB ports, HDMI port, S/PDIF, DVI and memory card reader. It is still uncertain whether the "Nausicaa" is going to be equipped with an Intel Atom processor.
If Dell plans to release its Mini PC sometime in early August, along with its E netbook, it could probably become a success, thanks to the "Back to School" shopping frenzy.
