Dell Inspiron Mini 9 Netbook Review

Our rating
7.0
Dell’s much awaited entry into the netbook arena with a computer that is certainly portable and contains numerous great features.
Price: £170 ($299)
Cheapest at: Dell.co.uk

The Good
The laptop is cheap and can run with Windows or Linux operating systems depending on your preference and best of all it has a great battery life perfect for the user on the move.
The Bad
The keyboard is awkwardly small with no SSD options larger than 16GB and for UK based buyers a huge problem is the lack of customisation just because you’re from the UK.
What you need to know
Dell's long-awaited arrival into the netbook arena has been awaited and much to recommend it, but this is far from perfect. However, this is certainly a low-cost, low-power PC that needs to be taken seriously.

The Dell Mini 9 doesn’t include a hard drive but it certainly is extremely cool. However, when the CPU is stressed it does certainly over heat.

The Dell Mini 9 is basic in design and as a result the top of the lid is a haven for fingerprints and dust whilst the screen is highly glossy, reflective and for those working on the move it may be the cause of some grief.

On the left hand side of this small machine is the power plug, 2 USB ports, the SD/MMC slot and the right hand side houses the headphone and microphone jack, another USB port and a small air vent, VGA output and Ethernet port.

The keyboard is quite and robust and with the extra height of the keys the keyboard is extremely user friendly. The trackpad is certainly good too. Furthermore, the battery life is great yet the Wi-Fi reception is weak yet still for a price of around £220 it is good value.
