If you have around £500 burning a hole in your pocket, then you have two options: buy an iPad or an 11.6in ultraportable and, whatever you do, give Dell’s ambitious, but flawed, Inspiron Duo a wide berth. After all, when a tablet leaves you longing to return to a keyboard and a touchpad, there’s clearly something wrong. Much as we love the flip-swivel of the 10.1in display, and its lovely, lovely looks, the Inspiron Duo’s downfall is inevitable.

Faced with a keyboard and a touchpad, it’s easy to put up with the Atom’s tardy tendencies, but when every finger-press and every gesture is followed by a lengthy pause for thought, minor irritation swiftly turns to full-blown aggravation. you can go to control panel > programs and features> search the list of programs installed> select photostage or softronic> click on uninstall. You can use the optional CinemaNow application to purchase or rent movies and TV shows using the Internet. Play movies, videos, or watch TV shows using the Internet. Listen to music or radio stations from across the globe.

The biggest problem, however, is the Duo’s hardware just isn’t powerful enough to deliver a slick, refined user experience. You can download the latest duo Stage software from. You can add a docking station, which sports JBL speakers and adds Ethernet, for another £50, but with no video output here either its appeal is limited. We have no serious reservations over the quality of the keyboard or the responsiveness of the touchpad, but the Duo is very short on connectivity, with no video output, only two USB ports, a single headphone output, 802.11bgn and Bluetooth 3 on board.
