Whether you use a mobile phone with a web browser, a computer outside your home, or share files and folders with a friend; you will have the ability to access files and devices in your home from anywhere with Internet access.
  • Long battery life No need to sacrifice weight for battery life.

    The Inspiron Mini 12 provides extended battery life while keeping the weight of the system under 3 pounds1. 3 cell battery, approximately 3 hours. 6 cell approximately 6.5 hours.

Storage

Unlike the SSD-only Mini 9, the Mini 12 is fitted with a hard disk drive of 60GB or 80GB (Aussies get the 80GB version). The drives belong to the Spinpoint N2P family from Samsung’s Ultra Mobile range, which are 1.8in 4200rpm PATA drives with an 8MB cache and a barely-there 5mm profile. This is the same drive as used in Acer’s Aspire One and the ASUS Eee PC 900 series. During our time with the Inspiron Mini 12 it ran whisper-silent.

you can still have access to email, shopping and more. A bright 12.1 inch glossy display is designed to be able to present web sites without a lot of left-right scrolling, and the keyboard is large and easy to navigate.

Build and Design

The design of the Dell Inspiron Mini 9 is quite similar to other netbooks we've seen in recent months. The exterior is covered in glossy plastics with smooth lines, rounded edges, and a style that looks like it's trying to strike a balance between "fun" and "functional." The look is pretty basic, almost like a miniature version of the Inspiron 1525 notebook. Glossy plastic is found on the top of the screen cover as well as around the entire LCD and palm rests. Matte black plastic is used on the base of the netbook and on the keyboard. Overall, the look is quite nice, but the glossy LCD lid is a magnet for fingerprints and makes the new netbook look a little tarnished after just a few minutes of use.

the Mini 9 is much easier to upgrade than most netbooks currently on the market. Many of the netbooks we've seen to date require complex disassembly in order for you to get to the storage drive, system RAM, or wireless cards. Even worse, some other netbooks have slots for upgrades but no connections on the motherboard so it is impossible to upgrade them.


Dell engineers were wise enough to place all key upgradeable components in one area directly beneath a simple access panel that you can remove with a regular Phillips screwdriver after removing two screws. The Mini 9 uses standard notebook DDR2 RAM (800MHz underclocked to 533MHz), standard wireless mini cards, and a mini PCIe SSD card.
