The source reports that Dell has decided to no longer produce 12 " netbooks. According to Dell, this is because, in the opinion of users, the size of 10" is ideal for netbooks, while sales of 12 "models are not too high, and of this, the manufacturer plans to discontinue the models with a diagonal of 12 ".

Menchaca Lionel (Lionel Menchaca), manager of digital systems company Dell, has made a statement that Dell should in no way going to abandon the segment netbooks. Vendor only focuses on 10 "models, recalling that it was in the range of Dell, there are two different 10" netbooks Dell Inspiron, namely, Mini 10 and Mini 10v. From the perspective of users of one of the key points when choosing netbooks is his mobility. Larger netbooks a bit harder to carry around, they are slightly more expensive and require a little more energy, so they choose less often.

That seems sufficient reason to stop the production line, but not all agree with that statement. Michael Arrington (Michael Arrington), founder of technology blog, shared his thoughts on the matter. In his view, the reasoning is very weak. Arrington argues that the difference between 10 "and 12" netbooks is only a small increase in financial expenses, mainly to cover some larger. Arrington suggests that Dell has other reasons to stop Issue 12 " netbooks in particular, perhaps, the growing pressure on manufacturers from Intel and Microsoft, which the United Front were netbooks against the relatively large size. In other words, if a user wants to buy a model with a screen more, then he will have to fork out for a full-fledged laptop with a dual-core processor.
