Dell E and E Slim revealed, taking on Eee and Air in one fell swoop

After looking at the slides, I really want to see page 16 and the elusive important information!

Taking on the Eee, perhaps. But as has been said on this site before: you can't take on the Air with a lower-end product. Considering how part of the Air's smoothness involves the perfect hardware-software integration, you could even say that it's near-impossible to "take it on" with a Windows computer. It won't be nearly as smooth.

I really think that this "mid-size" mobile platform (Dell places these between the iPhone and the XPS-M laptops), needs a capable tablet computer.

Something real sleek and thin -- picture the iPhone but blown up to 8-9" would be excellent for the "30 minute web experience" as Dell calls it in their slides.

The Voodoo Envy 133 measures .70 inches when closed and weighs less than 3.4 pounds. It's also a whole let sexier IMO.

It's quite a bit more expensive too. But I agree, it does look nice!
