At this year’s Intel Developer Forum (IDF) in San Francisco, Dell unveiled a brand new super cool laptop design with the Inspiron Duo. The Duo doubles as a netbook and tablet thanks to a swiveling 10.1 inch capacitive multitouch display. What looks like a standard netbook at first glance can instantly be transformed into a tablet device by swiveling the screen from within the frame. It’s powered by a dual-core Intel Atom N550 chip and runs Windows 7. Additional specs and pricing have yet to be disclosed. Dell says the unconventionally designed hybrid will be released into the wilds later this year. Look after the break for a brief video showing off the swivel action and signs of capacitive touch in Microsoft Surface Globe software.
Update: A new video sufaced today featuring Dell Product Marketer Dave Zavelson handling the Inspiron Duo and showing off photo and video touch-based applications. It’s sitting after the break for your viewing pleasure.
