Dell Inspiron Mini 10 Netbook Review – Corbett’s Travels.com

As always Im looking for great travel gadgets and for me the Dell Inspiron Mini 10 Netbook is a great item for taking on the road. The days are long gone since you had to have the hassle of a 15 inch thick laptop to lug around, now you can nicely fit this beautiful 10.1 inch netbook into your day sack and take it wherever you go!

Even though this little black beauty is very small, it doesnt feel delicate or flimsy. It feels tight and solid, almost like if you were to drop it then it wouldnt do to much damage, I havent tried this though and dont recommend you do either.

Looking around the laptop you immediately notice there is no CD Rom however this is not that important as you can buy an external CD Rom and of course you can transfer data on to the netbook via a memory stick. On the left hand side you have a connection for the power supply, a USB port and a card reader slot. On the right hand side is an Ethernet slot, Two more USB ports as well as a HDMI port and finally Two slots for a microphone and headphones.

Just above the 10.1 inch screen is a built in webcam and microphone which is great for the talking over the internet on Skype and MSN etc. One concern of mine was the size of the keyboard and the difficulties this may cause for typing but the keyboard is a great size and I have had no problems typing except for the normal mistakes that I make whilst spelling.

The specs are not that bad either, 1.33GHz, 1GB Memory, 160GB Hard Drive, Built in WiFi and comes with Microsoft Windows XP.

Overall I think this is a great piece of kit. You wouldnt t buy this to play great games on as it was not designed for that purpose. This is purely for people who need a laptop on the move and who are happy with the basics, Word processing, browsing the web and sending e-mails etc.
