UK supermarket chain Tesco has this Dell “Inspiron Z530” laptop up for sale on their website: it’s got a 12.1-inch screen, is Atom Z350-powered and sounds a lot like the Dell E-Slim mini laptop we’ve mentioned before. The product’s features are touted thus: “Ultra mobile web experience. Consume your media where ever you are,” which sounds all well and good, but then it goes a bit funny with a “Linux Ubunto” OS and a width and height of “29.9 cm”. It seems Tesco’s web monkeys are good at making typos. Read on for the full specs:

Apparently due October 6th, it’s on sale for the equivalent of $526. We’ll just have to wait for word from Dell on the E-Slim to confirm if this is the same machine. Or wait to see Tesco take the link down, if this is a genuine leak. [Tesco Direct via Engadget]
