Dell Shows off Atom Powered Tablet cum Swivel screen Netbook

Intel's IDF2010 is underway and we are getting to see some really cool stuff. However, some of the cool stuff is borderline crazy, too. Here, the weirdest contraption of the day award goes to Dell for their machine which is not only a tablet but is also a netbook with swivel-within-frame display. This new form factor features 10 inch screen and is graced with a dual-core Atom N550. The operating system is Windows 7 Premium. The display is capable of swiveling in its bezel and then beautifully converts the netbook into a tablet.

Not many details are yet available. However, the tablet-slash-netbook has a certain aww factor to it.  The likely earliest shipping date for this cool machine is around the end of this year. This machine looks very similar to a blueprint leaked way back in April. Codenamed 'Sparta', the leaked machine had an 11 inch screen instead and was thought to be running Android instead of Windows 7. Now let's see the kind of reception this gadget gets when it hits the market. No news about pricing yet.
