Dell has hinted at a $450 Vostro here in the U.S., and now Engadget reports that the company has gone ahead and launched the super-slim notebook worldwide. Measuring in at 0.65 inches thick with options for either a 1.2GHz Celeron, 1.3GHz Core 2 Duo or 1.4GHz Core 2 Solo with integrated X4500MHD graphics, the notebook packs a 13.3-inch screen. That aside, it's also got eSATA, USB, Ethernet and SD and ExpressCard slots.

Step up to the higher end with the webcam, 320GB hdd, Core 2 Solo and Windows 7 Pro for $600- still a pretty good deal. Sure beats Apple's "Air" for what, half the price?
at least have ion or something
There are a good number of light 13" machines on the market now, including the Vostro 1320. I've been looking at the Toshiba T135 and ASUS UL30 myself. HP and Lenovo both make similar machines too. BestBuy has the Toshiba with dual core processor and good specs elsewhere for $550.
People, you can't have all... at least not now yet
Maybe in 4-5 years, we will get there. Do not rush please
The starting weight according to the Dell website is 3.5lbs. It also comes with a LED LCD, max resolution 1366x768, Bluetooth 2.1 Standard
Puny battery life from a pencil-thin battery, no dedicated GPU, low-end C2D...
People need to realize that thin does not mean small, it means compromise! There are much better 13" notebooks out there with better CPU, dedicated GPU and better battery life.
For $450, I'd rather get a more compact 10" netbook with 9-hour battery than this fancy trash.
"Dell Makes Choosing a Piece of Shit Laptop with VGA Output Even Tougher!"
I only brought it up as a comparison, the MacBook Air is currently the most popularized of all uber-thin laptops, I only compared because of the price. This new Dell looks promising for the price, something that Apple refuses to compete on. And while I own 4 iPods, and Apple TV and a Mac Mini, I think that the other macs are bit too pricey.
Good on Dell for something thats' stylish, affordable, and offers a decent value at that razor thin size.
$2000 for a 15" MacBook Pro and no Expresscard
$600 for a 13" Dell AND an Expresscard,
PRICELESS
