Dell’s Inspiron Duo convertible netbook has found itself a pre-order listing at the Microsoft Store. The 10.1-inch netbook – which has a rotating touchscreen that can be flipped around and the laptop used in the slate form-factor – is priced at $549, while the Dell Inspiron Duo Audio Station dock is $49 (down from its RRP of $99).

Unfortunately neither Microsoft nor Dell is giving any sort of delivery date, so we’ve only got the previous, vague release window from the netbook’s official reveal last week. Then, the Duo was tipped to arrive in early December, in both the US and the UK.

Your $549 gets you a 10.1-inch 1366 x 768 capacitive touchscreen, Intel Atom N550 dual-core processor, 2GB of RAM and a 320GB hard-drive. There’s also WiFi b/g/n and a battery such as dell Inspiron 500m battery, dell Inspiron 510m battery, dell Inspiron 600m battery, dell Latitude D500 battery, dell Latitude D505 battery, dell Latitude D510 battery, dell Latitude D520 battery, dell Latitude D600 battery, dell Latitude D610 battery, dell 312-0068 battery good for up to 4hrs use. The Audio Station, meanwhile, has JBL-developed speakers and various connections, and also recharges the netbook while it’s docked.

Dell have updated their mobile workstation range of notebooks with the Precision M6500, packing a range of Intel Core i7 quad-core and Core i7 Extreme quad-core processors. There’s also a considerable 17-inch 1920 x 1200 display – with various degrees of LED backlighting – together with up to 16GB of DDR3 memory, space for up to three hard-drives (up to 500GB HDD or 256GB SSD in each bay; various RAID setups available) and a choice of ATI FirePro M7740 1GB, NVIDIA Quadro FX 2800M 1GB, or Quadro FX 3800M 1GB graphics.

Meanwhile connectivity includes WiFi (up to a/g/n) and Bluetooth 2.1, together with optional UWB and WWAN (HSPA/EVDO Rev.A). There’s also a 6-pin powered FireWire, four USB 2.0, both VGA and DisplayPort, ethernet, audio in/out and eSATA, along with an ExpressCard 54 slot and 8-in-1 card reader. Either DVD or Blu-ray drives can be specified.

As you might imagine, the end result isn’t a small (or slow) system: the Dell Precision M6500 comes in at 15.4 x 11 x 1.35 inches and 8.5lbs. A 9-cell battery is available, though Dell don’t exactly make clear how long you can expect it to last. Pricing is also unknown; the Precision M6500 isn’t yet available to order online.
