Little doubt this will be one of the “must haves” during the coming holiday season.

The Dell E mini-laptop has been rumored to be coming this August, and while an announcement still has not come officially from Dell it seemingly more certain that it’s more than a rumor.

The Dell E is expected to be powered by a 1.6GHz Intel Atom processor and be running Linux. The Dell E will feature an 8.9-inch 1024 x 600 resolution display, 512MB of RAM, a built-in 0.3-megapixel webcam, Wi-Fi 802.11g and a 4GB SSD.

Coming in at $299 you may want to pick up more than one.
