Priced at 329€, this is clearly a sleek netbook with outdated specs. On one hand, companies are unleashing netbooks that run a N280/Z540/Z550 processors; have 250GB HDDs and more and on other hands, we have Medion, who have the atrocity to release N270 netbooks in the Q4 2009 and that too pricey!

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.

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

Unlike most wireless keyboards that one gets to see in the local electronic stores, this keyboard is powered by Bluetooth radio instead of optical wireless technology. This is extremely helpful as most of the netbooks have built-in bluetooth and it makes sense to use that radio instead of carrying another USB dongle for wireless.

The keyboard has well-spaced out keys for perfect typing experience.
