The new Dell Inspiron Mini 10 netbook with Intel Atom N450 processor launched last January is now RM100 cheaper. That’s bring the price tag to RM1199 from 1299 when it if first released. This price is only applicable if you purchase it from Dell online store, as retailers still selling it with the old price. The drop in price also probably means new Inspiron Mini 10v is coming is soon. But that’s purely my assumption based on my experience when I just purchased the older version of Inspiron Mini 10v when a month later, Inspiron Mini 10v with N450 is released. Forget that, this is one of many affordable netbook available out there in the market, and in case you wanna know more, hit this link to view the product page.
If you have been wondering why the price of Dell Inspiron Mini 10v is getting cheaper lately, here is the reason. The new Dell Inspiron Mini 10 (no longer called 10v) had just been released couple of days ago.
Beside the new looks (some say taking cue from Adamo especially the hinge) the new Intel Atom N450 is now powering this netbook, which is said to be more power efficient.
Dell claimed the 6 cells battery can lasted up to 9.5 hours, compared to the 2009 model which lasted 1.5 hours less. However, the weight is now little bit heavier at 1.25kg compared to 1.17kg on the previous model.
Except the price tag at RM1299 which is RM100 pricier from previous model, the enhancement does make this netbook a better piece of machine. Head to Inspiron Mini page for detail spec.

The temptation of Windows 7 came to an end with myself grabbing a unit of Inspiron Mini 10v, running on Windows 7 Starter Pack. I opt for lower end netbook and OS, because the other 2 notebooks that I currently own, running on XP and Vista are in my plan to be upgraded, after Microsoft Malaysia announced official price of Windows 7 in their website.
Why Dell?? Inspiron Mini is among the first netbook running on Windows 7 in our market. Furthermore I’m used with their notebooks before. The day I purchased this model, no HP and Acer netbook run on Windows 7 just yet, so it’s a direct decision actually, because I want a netbook running on Windows 7 in the first place. To sweeten the deal, it comes with freebies too (optical mouse, USB hub, headphone).
Generally, Inspiron Mini 10v is an average netbook, with quite sleek & sexy design. The round edge and curve in Inspiron Mini is gorgeous. It is not the thinnest or lightest netbook in the market, but it grips firmly on your hand. You’re not bound to agree with me about this 
Performance wise, as I just use it for few hours, it is a little bit sluggish, and intermittent when I browse the internet (could be the connection). It is noticeable especially when I’m typing this post on WordPress. Other apps seem to work just fine. But overall, it’s fair to say that I’m satisfied with what I pay for. If you’re curious how much it costs, it is RM1299 ( a week ago priced at RM1199).
Other main points on the netbook and Win 7.
