We really don’t know what came over the people at Dell which is reported to be preparing to release an all-black version of its recently released Inspiron Mini-9, to the UK market. What is so interesting about this new version of the Inspiron Mini 9 is the fact that Dell will be releasing it as the Vostro A90. The Vostro A90 is being aimed at small businesses, hence the need to rebrand it as such.

While UK pricing and release date in the UK market is yet to be announced, the new Inspiron Mini 9 aka Vostro A90 was in fact already launched in Japan and will retail for a whooping $972. It’s definitely a steep price considering that you would get the same specs that include; 1.6GHz Intel Atom N270 processor, 8.9-inch 1024×600 display, a 1GB of RAM, 8GB of SSD and other features of the Inspiron  Mini 9. The Inspiron Mini 9 retails for only around $465.

I wonder how many would get the same spec’d machine as the Inspiron Mini 9 for a more expensive price, wherein fact the only difference is the price and the color design?

Don’t you think that this is a bad move for Dell?
