Happy FatheR’s Day! Dell just released the new Inspiron R series laptops, available now starting at $449. Pertinent specs abound....

At a little over 4 pounds with the bulkier 8-cell battery (5.2 pounds with the power brick), the Vostro 3300 won't strain your shoulder as you lug it along on your daily travels. That weight includes a tray-loading DVD recordable drive, so you're not sacrificing optical storage just for thinness. The 13.3-inch, LED-backlit screen offers a matte finish, something we'd like to see more of, since the glossy screens that seem so common these days can be annoying to use in most normal lighting situations.

The price of the Android-based Dell Streak 5-inch tablet has finally been revealed — $500 unlocked, direct from Dell. It will become available to U.S. consumers starting next month, and potential buyers in the UK will be able to pick up the device as early as tomorrow.
