Dell Inspiron Mini 10: Jack of All Trades

The highly portable Dell Inspiron Mini 10 (model iM1012-1243IBU) is everything you want in a mobile companion with easy Wi-Fi connectivity for on-the-go productivity, access to your favorite entertainment, and smooth video playback via the brightly colorful 10.1-inch screen. And you'll be able to watch your favorite TV shows wherever you can get an over-the-air signal with the internal digital TV tuner. And with VGA output, you can also connect to an external monitor or compatible TV and display TV programming as well as other stored or streaming video content.

Redesigned for 2010, the Mini 10 now features a newly streamlined case with forward hinge design and it includes a textured, smudge-resistant palm rest and sculpted keys on the near-full-size keyboard. It also combines the power of the latest Intel Atom N450 processor (NM10 Express chipset) with a 6-cell battery for up to 6 hours of battery power.

The newly redesigned Dell Inspiron Mini 10 comes in a range of bright colors.

Standard built-in Wi-Fi wireless connectivity means quick and easy Internet access to hotspots in the home, on campus, in a local coffee shop, or in the office. It comes in a range of colors, including this model's Ice Blue.

It comes pre-installed with the Microsoft Windows 7 Starter operating system, which combines the latest in reliability and responsiveness with the familiarity and compatibility of Windows. It includes new Windows 7 features like Jump Lists to help you to better find and manage files, and connecting to printers and peripherals is easier than ever.

This review is from: Dell Inspiron iM1012-1243CRD Mini 1012 10.1-Inch Netbook with Digital TV (Personal Computers)

I got this to try and use traveling and at our office. Able to configue our VPN to work seamlessly without any software upgrade - just Windows 7 starter as shipped. Keyboard is easy to type on - larger than some other netbooks. It does need Office - Home or Pro for business use - I wish Amazon had that available as a bundled (discounted) price at purchase. The TV tuner worked perfectly out of the box. This has the faster Atom processor which is noticably better than the Atom 270. I priced this model thru Dell website and is much less expensive thru Amazon for same configuration.
A great purchase for portable computing, and the TV will be a real plus when stuck with flight delays at the airport(s).
