Dell Inspiron Mini 10
The Dell netbook comparison – the Inspiron Mini 9, Inspiron Mini 10 and Inspiron Mini 12 have their main features compared.
Dell is one of the few manufacturers to not always conform to the standard netbook specification and has used a number of different processors, hard disks, screens and operating systems in the netbooks that it has produced.
We compare the Windows XP versions of the Dell Inspiron Mini 9, the Mini 10 and Mini 12 against each other and there are perhaps a few surprises.
Which Dell netbook would you go for? The smaller and lightweight Inspiron Mini 9 or the largest netbook (some would say not even a netbook at all), the Inspiron Mini 12? Or perhaps the Inspiron Mini 10?

Thanks for the useful info. It’s so interesting
Some great info here. Fact is the mini 9 is a better allrounder than the 10 or 10v.
