Dell's Mini 10 netbook has made an unexpected appearance at Tesco.

Dell showed off the Mini 10 at the Consumer Electronic Show earlier this month, but was reluctant to offer either pricing or release details.

However, just as it did with the Mini 12, Tesco has outed the netbook on Dell's behalf. The retailer is offering the Mini 10 for £349, which is around £50 more expensive than our current A-Listed netbook, the Samsung NC10.

For the money, you're getting a 10in 1280x720, screen, multi-touch trackpad for scrolling zooming and even accessing navigational shortcuts allowing you to jump to the homepage, for example.

The keyboard has been expanded to take advantage of the full length of the chassis, and beneath it there's an interesting array of features including a GPS unit, television tuner, Wi-Fi and mobile broadband connection.

Aside from the already confirmed 1.6Ghz Atom Z530 processor, the Tesco page also reveals the Mini 10 will ship with 1GB of RAM and a 160GB hard drive. It will run on Windows XP.
