The first SKU will be the Inspiron 11 3162 and should be coming by the end of this month in both the U.S. and parts of Europe starting at around 250 Euros. Color options include Alpine White, Bali Blue, and Red Tango to reflect election colors.

Specifications for the series include:

Intel Pentium N3700 or Celeron N3050
2 to 4 GB DDR3L-1600 RAM
