Dell Quits Netbooks For Ultrabooks

Dell will continue to sell its convertible Inspiron Duo, but all regular netbooks are finished. My mother bought a netbook recently, ignoring my pleading advice to instead get an iPad. Maybe she likes updating antivirus definitions, or perhaps she is looking forward to buying a new one when this one dies exactly a day outside its warranty period. One thing's for sure, though: When she buys another one, it won't be a Dell.

Dell is getting out of the race-to-the-bottom that is the netbook market, and will instead concentrate on thinner, ultrabook-ish laptops.
