Dearest social butterfly,
Dell wants you to know that is has just the netbook for you, the Inspiron Mini 9. The default operating system is Ubuntu, with some sort of customized Dell interface. Other than that, it’s a netbook. You know what that means.
The base price is a more-than-reasonable $350, and for that you get a 1.6GHz Intel Atom processor, 512MB RAM, 4GB solid state drive, and built-in Wi-Fi. The display doesn’t look too bad, either, coming in at 8.9 inches. You really would have to see the diaply in person to make a proper judgment call, though.
And if Linux isn’t your thing, you can always upgrade to Windows XP. You might want to up the RAM if you’re headed in that direction.
Would you hate me if I admit that it actually doesn’t look half-bad?
Any side by side review of the Dell vs. the Aspire One coming?
Running my blog about the sneaker world (www.sneakerblogger.com) in my copious free time (ha), I try to hit up cool sneaker haunts whenever I travel, be it to Las Vegas or New York or the back alleys of Barcelona On most occasions, I simply bring my camera, take some snaps, and then blog about it when I get home since I loathe lugging a laptop unless I have to for work purposes–especially since some of the coolest places to find the best sneakers are in some dodgy parts of the big cities of the world. With the Inspiron Mini 9 I’d be able to tuck it safely away and still bring my readers news and photos of kicks from around the world. I’m off to London next week…how’s that for timing?
Yeah but you’re not neutral, your name starts with Del.
