While Dell have proved very popular among the netbook world and bringing a high level of customizations to netbooks, it seems CEO Michael Dell doesn’t actually like the portable devices. He claims that users aren’t very happy with them. He also said that it may be cute and light but, after a day or two, users will want to revert back to a regular 15 inch netbook. He describes netbooks as being good for specific markets, such as schools.

Dell have released several different netbook models, with the Dell Mini 9 proving the most popular, especially amongst hackers and modders. Liliputing comment that it’s “kind of funny” considering that while Michael Dell isn’t impressed with netbooks, the company is creating innovative and top class designs to their netbooks.

The Vostro A90 is a re branded Dell Mini 9 which is available in black. Previously no release date or price was announced, but the Vostro A90 has now been released in the UK. It’s available on the Dell website from £235, which is approximately $349.

This makes it cheaper than the Dell Mini 9, which retails for £269. However when the Vostro became available in Japan, the price was significantly higher at a price of about $998. The Dell Vostro is also available in Germany for 329 Euros. There’s no word yet on whether the netbook will reach North America.
