Love my new Dell Mini9

by robo_dev . Updated 17 years, 4 months ago

Has a great display, good keyboard, and very good battery life.

The keyboard takes a little getting used to, since there are no dedicated function keys. But I wanted a simple cheap surfing laptop, and it works great for that.

It’s very light, about one pound, and it’s silent. (solid state 8gig drive).

Mine has 1gig ram and the 1.8 ghz intel atom processor, runs XP. Has built in webcam, three USB ports, VGA port, SDHC slot, wired and wireless ethernet.

I bought a Dell refurbed (open box) from the Dell outlet store. cost $269, $296.00 delivered. One year warranty.

I have tried several USB-bootable linux distros on it (ubuntu, crunchbox, backtrack2, knoppix) and they all work fine, except that they have some issues with the Broadcom wifi adapter (I may swap that out later).
