The Dell Mini 9 Goes to Korea

The new Dell Mini 9 is coming with me to Korea.

I’ll be blogging, videocapturing, and picture uploading through this super light weight machine.

For those that really care… specs and a post-mortem boxing video after the jump.

It’s black, it’s got the cool Intel Atom CPU, a gig of RAM (will be upgraded to 2 in a bit), running Windows XP SP3, and I did NOT get a webcam with mine. This is because I already have a nice logitech which can record at a much higher rate with better quality.

Sweet.

Your Dell pails in comparison to my rockin' Asus eee PC… even with its limited usability Xandros distro. Mwhahahaha.

… wah's with the copy and paste… lamer.
human3rror November 19th

there is forgiveness, for even this!

How about the thorn in my Linux-enjoying experience. No more, no less.

Jig-saw jazz and the get-fresh flow
Can't wait to see if you like it
Though I can't imagine going back to windows…

Still have a hard time making justification for it. Would it run Access and Excel (2003 or 2007)? Those are the only two programs that I really have to have. Potentially I could use it for my frequent trips to Chicago and as a couch computer. I have had a 12 in computer and moved up to a 13 in computer. I have played with a 9 inch HP at Costco that I liked. But it would need to be no more than about $350 to justify it. And I need windows.

try experimenting with the different pricing they've got at dell… but also try some other netbooks too.

thanks for stopping by!

Any thoughts about buying Linux and loading Windows? I have a couple extra Windows licenses. Also did you put in 2 GB of Ram. Specs listed on Dell.com say max of 1 GB.
human3rror November 20th

2gb is IN the mail. upgrading soon.

Ha, it's a continuation of the Beck lyrics from dewde, sorry for all the confusion
human3rror November 20th

never really listened to beck…

What made you decide to get this instead of just using your macbook for your trip?
human3rror November 20th

i might actually bring both… but portability was the biggest thing.
human3rror November 20th

hey bro, i'm not even sure what you just said…!
human3rror November 21st

super light and super portable. but i may take both…!
Adam_S November 21st

Saw on another blog that there are two slots for external memory…can program be loaded on them? That would seem to be really slow.
human3rror November 21st

hmm. dunno. i've ordered my increase of RAM to 2 gigs… can't wait for the increase…!
Tony Lee November 25th

Those are a lot better than my EEEPC! I have early adopter buyer's remorse!
human3rror November 25th

don't feel bad. it's not perfect….
