If you’re currently looking for netbook, perhaps Inspiron Mini 10 is the notebook that suit with your budget. With price RM999, it is definitely wallet-friendly netbook in the market, if you don’t mind the pretty basic specs and not-so bad design. It is worth reminding you that the original price is RM1299 before, and in fact I’m one of the ‘unlucky’ buyer that bought it with that price long ago. RM300 price drop is quite substantial discount, right? Hit the source link to grab this offer, such a good offer may not lasted.

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.

Dell apparently has slashed the price of its Inspiron mini 10 netbook to MYR1699 from MYR1899 when it was first released to the local market. No worry, as the specs are remain exactly the same.
But personally, I think netbook should be priced below MYR1500 in order to look more tempting.
WWAN support and other ‘coming soon’ features are still nowhere to be seen. Head to this page to find out more.
