WRITE A REVIEW ON DELL INSPIRON MINI 9 NETBOOK

Anyone who’s recently looked on the Dell website for a new laptop has noticed the big ads that introduces a new line up called the mini laptops or rather netbooks. The one most often seen on the website is the Dell Inspiron Mini 9. The name only made it the most eagerly anticipated netbook of recent times.

What makes this netbook so worthwhile? It’s got a great battery life and screen, looks slick with its style and has 3G connectivity; no doubt it surpasses other netbooks on the market.

While the bodywork is of high quality, the lid scratches quite easily. This means you will need to make sure it is protected as you travel. It’s got a great 224-hour battery life, which is great for commuters.

You’ll like the keyboard in: it’s made quite well and it’s quite smooth to type on. However, the keyboard doesn’t fully fit the chassis and for that keys are quite slim. This can be very difficult for users to get used to.

Unlike larger laptops, the Mini 9 has an 8.9-inch screen that gives the user vibrant color and contrast to the pictures. However, there is a drawback to this vibrancy. The glossy Super-TFT that’s been coated onto the screen for its effects actually increases the likelihood of reflections on the screen, more so during bright conditions.

Users who want space should not even consider getting a Dell Inspiron Mini 9. Users can go choose an eight-gigabyte of 16-gigabyte solid-state drive to be installed in the netbook. It’s true that flash based storage gives users the ability to access any data they need in a short amount of time. However, the majority of people will want to choose another netbook/laptop for the space alone.

When users look at the online capabilities of the Mini 9, they’ll note that the Vodafone is the only provider of 3G wireless broadband access. Thus, bundles in 24-month contracts come with the Mini 9 for free. You can also get to the SIM-card easily by locating it underneath the netbook’s battery.

What are the pros for the Dell Inspiron Mini 9 that makes some people run out and purchase it? Here are three good reasons why:

Is built well and has sleek design
Viewing screen is good
Gives users Internet access

However, there are two big reasons why consumers may shy away from the Mini 9. They include:

Lack of big hard drive
Small, cramped keyboard

By viewing the Dell website and learning more about the Dell Inspiron Mini 9, users can determine if it will fit their needs or if they should continue looking at other netbooks/laptops.
