Called "Della," Dell's new female-oriented website features attractive models, cute computers, and nonthreatening tech tips.The page for Mini netbooks, for example, starts by urging the customer to "choose the color and size that suit you best."

The laptop page offers to let the customer "choose from hundreds of Studio laptop designs."
The "tech tips" page, after cooing over how cute netbooks are, explains how netbooks can help you find recipes online and watch cooking videos, download meditation and yoga podcasts, and keep track of calories and carbs.
(To be fair, it also explains how to use a netbook as an e-book reader, maintain a to-do list with Remember the Milk, and use Google Docs rather than buying applications.)
