Dell Inspiron Duo N02MDU03 Blue Review posted on 2011-03-13
10.1 inch Tablet Netbook
There's no doubt the Inspiron Duo is flawed by a few issues, but we thoroughly bought into Dell's vision of combining the netbook and tablet, and flipping between the two to carry out different tasks is intuitive and fun.

Of all the convertible tablet PCs we've seen over the years, the Inspiron Duo is the most stylish and the most fun. We expected the in-place rotating screen to be a gimmick but it's sturdy and easy to use. The keyboard is one of the best we've used on any netbook and the combination of the dual core Atom N550 with enough memory and the Broadcom graphics accelerator with a high resolution screen makes this a high end netbook. We love how light, portable and robust the Inspiron Duo feels - although that's light and portable for a netbook or Windows tablet rather than standing comparison with the iPad (and the delightful design hides the fact that it's actually a little on the heavy and thick side compared to some netbooks). But we hate the battery life, it's a compromise too far for real portability.
