Looks like the FCC just tipped another product before its official announcement. The Dell Panerai seems to be from the same cloth as the Inspiron Duo convertible netbook although just a few schematics are in the FCC docs. An a/b/g/n Intel Centrino 6230 chipset is listed as the WiFi card of choice, which then confirms that this notebook will have a bit more power than the Insprion Duo as the Centrino 6 series are reserved just for Sandy Bridge Core processors. Hopefully inside the Dell casing is a battery that can pump for more than just a few hours with a thirsty Core i3/i5 at the core. Of course the FCC didn’t slip in a little note about when this guy will hit the market or the expected price. Sheesh. [Wireless Goodness via SlashGear]
