Join our own Noah Kravitz tonight for a liveblog from San Francisco where we’ll get to know the Dell XPS 13 Ultrabook a little better. We’re going to have a liveblog of the event going, as well as a chat room, so if you have any questions during the event you can shout them out

The tablet market has become one of the most fiercely contested spaces over the past year and a half. As hard as companies try, nothing has been able to dethrone Apple’s gargantuan iPad, although Amazon’s Kindle Fire is certainly on the right track. Manufacturers are beginning to realize it’s not just about the hardware end,

While it may be a little later than its rivals, Dell has finally arrived at the Ultrabook party with its new XPS 13 notebook. As the name suggests, the device sports a 13-inch display and weighs in at a whisker under three pounds. It has a wedge-shaped profile similar to that of other popular ultraportables,

  The Dell Streak 7 has joined it’s smaller sibling, the Dell Streak 5, in the growing graveyard of tablets that met an untimely demise. Dell confirmed today that the Dell Streak 7 has been removed from sale. The company explained the move to Electronista in a statement: Dell remains committed to the mobility market

Dell announced a 7-inch version of its Android Streak tablet in just January of this year, which Jon Rettinger got to play around with at CES 2011. Jon’s hands-on video revealed that the device was very unresponsive — despite its dual-core NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor and 4G capabilities — and was lacking in build quality. It seems unsurprising, then,

We may have another casualty of the smartphone wars on our hands now, if you believe this report from WPCentral. According to the site’s source (a “higher up” at Dell), the company has decided not to release its “Wrigley” handset, and in fact will totally bow out of the Windows Phone game for at least

Dell’s founder and CEO, Michael Dell, took another swipe at HP during his speech at Oracle Open World in San Francisco this week. Dell once again made it clear that his company had absolutely no intentions of abandoning the PC business, and said HP shouldn’t give up on theirs either. “There are many reasons to

  If you’re a huge fan of Apple’s MacBook Air, but you can’t stand the thought of using the company’s Mac OS X operating system, then you’re probably looking forward to those super portable Ultrabooks that PC manufacturers keep promising. According to details “leaked onto the Internet” and picked up by TechRadar, the first Ultrabooks from

  HP’s decision to drop its personal computing business back in August was met with criticism from rival Dell, which mocked the company’s move to “divorce” itself from the PC business. It’s no surprise, then, that Dell has no intentions of pulling the same stunt. In an interview with the Financial Times, Dell’s founder, Michael

The Dell Streak 5 has gone on to the gadget graveyard in the sky, at least in the United States. The 5-inch tablet/phone hybrid seems to have tested the limits of what consumers were willing to carry in their pocket when it came to screen size, or perhaps it was just ahead of its time.

I admit it. I drooled a little when I first heard about the Dell XPS 15z. And that’s not small praise, coming from me. (Let’s just say that I’m not what you’d call a Windows PC fan.) But the promise of a beautiful, thin, powerful laptop with an attractive price point is awfully hard to

Say what you want about Dell, but at least they’re tenacious. After the epic fail that was the Adamo, its high-priced, but underpowered MacBook Air competitor — gee, any wonder why it fizzled? — the company is at it again. The Wall Street Journal says Dell will launch its latest ultra-thin laptop, the XPS 15z, today and

Following up on a tease for a new ultra-thin laptop from Dell the other day, the company has released a short video and some new photos of the still unnamed device.  Has the company learned any lessons from the lackluster performance of the Adamo? With nothing in the images for a size comparison, we still

Despite the lackluster response to the Dell Adamo, it doesn’t appear that the popular computer maker is quite ready to give up on taking on Apple’s MacBook Air.  Rumors started circulating last week that Dell was working on a new ultra-thin laptop, but about the only things anyone seemed to be able to agree upon

The Dell Streak is getting some heavy promotional treatment in Japan thanks to partnering up with World Order for some promos. In the realm of ever growing smartphone screen sizes, the Dell Streak has pretty much taken the crown with its seven-inch screen.  While it is uncertain just how much the market in the United

Dell’s 2011 smartphone and tablet lineup has been leaked onto the web, showing Dell’s plans for the remainder of the year. So what does it have in store? According the roadmap, the company will have two phones running the Ice Cream version of Android by September, and come January of next year will launch three

The Dell Venue is now available for pre-order. The Android 2.2 device has a 4.1-inch WVGA AMOLED display, 8-megapixel camera, and Stage software, which allows to put important apps and information at the forefront of your phone’s screen. The phone was originally announced at CES this year, and will only be available unlocked, with no

We’re live at the T-Mobile demo event, and we’ve just spent a few minutes with the just announced Dell Streak 7 seven-inch tablet. The most immediate thing you notice is the heft of the device.  It doesn’t exactly feel “sturdy” in the hand so much as like something you could potentially injure someone with if

Though the hype surrounding Dell’s Press Event held earlier today was not particularly large, the consumer electronics manufacturer certainly made a splash by announcing a slew of new devices that will help the company compete with the best of ‘em in three distinct niches – mobile technology, gaming, and entertainment. According to Dell’s blog, the

Considering the amount of coverage Apple gets every time it opens a window, it can be easy to forget tha there are indeed other companies out there making computers.  While they may not be as sexy as the Steve Jobs helmed company, Dell continues to plug along, and although it has had some issues with profitability in

If you remember back to earlier this year around April, you might recall some very intriguing handset mockups that Dell was presumably hard at work to bring to life.  It you were drooling over the Dell Smoke, Lightning, Flash, or other Dell handset it looks like we’ve got the first sign they’re actually on the

Branding jokes aside, the Dell Streak looks to be a valiant attempt to not only create a new market segment, but define it as well. The 5″ (Gorilla Glass coated) tablet is sitting on top of a skinned version of Android 1.6, with a full (AT&T capable) 3G radio inside for calls and data.  Using

If you’re big into the ultraportable scene no doubt you’ve heard of the world’s thinnest laptop, the Dell Adamo XPS.  If you were looking to pick one up, you might want to put a little kick in your step and head to your nearest Best Buy because Dell has officially removed the super slim laptop

One of my biggest concerns with the CULV family of processors is that they are often times too anemic to handle any sort of full screen HD video.  I wasn’t expecting the Adamo XPS to blow the roof off performance wise, but I was pleasantly surprised by how well it handled the streaming content from
