Dell rebrands its own Mini 9 as the Vostro A90, jacks the price to absurd levels

Filed under: Laptops

We’re no strangers to rebranded netbooks, but we’re a little befuddled as to why Dell’s rebranding its own Inspiron Mini 9 as the Vostro A90. Sure, we’re digging the stealth looks, but the specs haven’t changed at all, and we don’t think the Vostro brand really has any more cachet than Inspiron — they’re both pretty low end. Even more bizarrely, the A90 is apparently Japan-only for now, and it’s priced at an absurd ¥92,830 ($972) — yeah, you can get three Eee 900As for that price with more or less the same specs. Must be one hell of a paint job.
