Perfect for Portable Computing

"Pros 1. Weight: I can't believe how light it is compared with my 13 inch laptop. 2. Noise: It is fanless. Only thing you might hear is the hard drive's clicking sound if you are in a quiet room. 3. Cost: You can't find any 12 inch laptop with this price range. 4. Performance: I am writing this using my Mini 12 with Ubuntu Netbook Remix Xfce. It boots in 58 seconds. Page loading in the firefox is fast. OpenOffice..." Read Full Review »

Portable but limited

"Pros Lightweight, portability, sleekness in design, and affordibility all make this an excellent model for folks looking to stay in touch. Cons The memory option is far too limited for the OS Dell's decided to use on this model. Ordinary functions take a while to perform and the start and shut down are brutally slow in comparison to most notebooks. Excellent idea, not so good execution...." Read Full Review »

"Pros

If you're thinking about a netbook, but are worried about the size of the screens on competitors, then this is the machine for you. It is light, easy to pack around, and the screen is more than generous for browsing or typing. Loaded with WinXP, the Atom snaps along. Ideal for computing on the …"  Read Full Review »

Great Screen, Moderate Perf., No Upgradability

★★★★☆

"Pros

Runs fine with Vista IF you (1) disable all unnecessary Vista startup services, (2) set the system appearance settings to high performance instead of high quality, (3) uninstall McAfee and use a less intensive anti-virus program--MCAfee eats up too much power and RAM, and (4) use Firefox, Opera …"  Read Full Review »

Needs Ubuntu and or XP

"Pros

Excellent model to combat the Macbook Air, very similar in design but nowhere near it in price (a good thing in this case, far cheaper!). The Dell Mini 12 is cost effective and has a decent array of customizations that you can do with it. The inclusion of higher capacity hard drives was a smart …"  Read Full Review »
