Multi-touch Dell Mini 10 Netbook as Stantum Slate PC

A new slate PC by Stantum has been unveiled which is actually a 10.1-inch Dell Mini 10 presented as a slate PC. It has a multi-touch, resistive multi-touch display supports 10 points, finger and stylus input, runs Windows 7 as OS and consumes less power. Webcam, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and 1 USB port have been removed from the Slate PC which might limit its appeal. Who would buy a tablet without built-in WiFi radio in 2009? Not a brilliant idea for sure.

Nothing could be known about its price.

We sure that folks at Stantum must have taken some inspiration from the guy that modded his Dell Mini 9 into a tablet and later installed an accelerometer in it
