Dell has the Vostro A90 with Ubuntu Linux version 8.0.4 on sale for only $184. In case you didn’t know, the Dell Vostro A90 was originally priced at $424 in the US market. The 8.9-inch netbook ships with an Intel Atom N270 CPU, a 1GB DDR2 memory, an 8GB SSD, a 1024×600 LCD display, 802.11b/g Wi-Fi, and a 4-cell battery. If you are unsatisfied with the 8GB SSD, Dell also offers a more capacious 16GB SSD for another $50. [Dell Online Store]

Remember the Dell Vostro A90 netbook that we mentioned last year, which is limited to Japan only. Now this mini laptop has finally arrived in the U.S. market, so here’s a brief reminder in case you missed it. The A90 is based on the Inspiron Mini 9 netbook and features a 8.9 inch LCD display with 1024 x 600 resolution, an Intel Atom N270 1.6GHz processor, an Intel 945GSE chipset, 512MB of memory (up to 1GB), 8GB SSD (up to 16GB SSD), Ethernet port, 802.11b/g Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth connectivity. In japan the Vostro A90 sells for $972, however in the U.S. the entry-level model can be purchased for just $350. Adding the 16GB SSD and 1GB of RAM brings the price up to $424.

Dell is ready to release its latest netbook in the form of the Vostro A90 in the Japanese market. Available in nine different colors, the netbook is based on the Inspiron Mini 9 netbook and features an Intel Atom N270 1.6GHz processor, a 8.9 inch LCD display (1,024 x 600 resolution), 1GB RAM, 8GB solid state drive, and Wi-Fi connectivity. This portable gadget is powered by Windows XP OS and retails for a hefty $972 (after conversion). However, I still want to choose Asus Eee PC rather than this expensive netbook. [RegHardware]
