BenQ Joybook Lite T131-lm04 Specs are as AMD Mobile Sempron 210U 1.5 GHz, RAM 2 GB DDR2, HDD 320 GB 5400 RPM, ATI Mobility Radeon X1270, 13.3 inch WXGA (1280×800)

Dell might have axed the Mini 12, but it seems like there’s quite a few models waiting to fill the void — we just saw the Inspiron 11z go on sale this morning, and now there’s a mysterious link for an “Inspiron Mini 13″ showing up on the Dell Canada site. We’re assuming that means the hot new Inspiron 13 that launched in Singapore last month is about to make its North American debut with Mini branding — and although calling a 13-inch machine with a 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo and ATI Mobility Radeon HD4330 graphics a “Mini” seems a little odd, we can’t say we’d be surprised if it came to pass. We’re digging for more, keep a sharp eye.

We knew it was coming soon, and here it is, Dell’s latest entry to the Vostro line of low-cost notes that won’t break the bank — but don’t give off that netbook vibe, either. The three models are the 14.1-inch 1014 and 1088, and the 15.6-inch 1015. All feature Intel Core 2 processors, optical drives, 802.11n, two megapixel webcams, and maximum memory and storage allocations of 4GB and 320GB respectively. Other than screen size the only difference seems to be higher-end ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4330 graphics in the 1088, while the others make do with a rather more pedestrian Intel solution. Dell hasn’t graced these with an official price in the US just yet, but that should change any minute now.
