Dell Inspiron Mini 9 Netbook
The Dell Inspiron 9 is an 8.9 inch, solid state memory-based netbook that’s built for web and email rather than heavy desktop-based applications. With low memory (16GB) and low RAM (Intel’s 1.6GHGz Atom processor) so simple tasks can cause delays that will irritate power users. Like other netbooks, it’s designed for beginners and light users to enjoy an inexpensive gateway to the Internet.
In Australia, Vodafone are giving it away if you sign up for their 2 year, $59.95 mobile broadband plan, and after slotting the SIM card underneath the Inspiron’s battery we realised the Vodafone network had come of age, giving us speeds of up to 1.5Mbps in the Perth suburbs. Rating: 4
