Get ready for the Dell Mini 11! Yup, it looks like Dell’s laptop roadmap has been leaked, and the Mini 11 features prominently. The Mini 10 also gets some love because, why not?
For one, there’s going to be a Mini 11 SKU that give you the option of using Windows Vista—a first. Then Dell sees fit to throw in a 3G modem for broadband “everywhere” (unless you live in the middle of nowhere, that is), and updated Intel Atom processors. Good stuff, if you’re into netbooks.
Somewhere, Doug “netbook” Aamoth is smiling at the thought of a Dell Mini 11.
$299 starting price? $349? Just what the economy needs, honestly. Linux options too…interesting…MS must not be too happy with that arrangement.
Not too Good!
Uh, the Dell Mini 12 came with Vista before it had an XP option.
