Following the tens and hundreds of articles that have been written about this Dell’s first netbook system has finally made its debut. Despite the rumors that the Inspiron Mini would be officially unveiled this Friday, the Round Rock-based company has decided to announce the small-sized portable computer one day earlier.
Inspiron Mini 9 runs on a Linux-based Ubuntu 8.04 operating system, and comes with 512MB of DDR2 memory, 4GB of storage, Intel Atom N270 processor and a 4-cell battery. This version has no web camera and no WWAN either but, given its price, it certainly makes for one of the cheapest netbooks on the market, while also providing users with the very basics in computing.
While the Windows-powered version starts at just $449 and, unlike the Linux model, it is equipped with 1GB of DDR2 memory running at 533MHz. It offers 8GB of storage, built-in Bluetooth 2.1, integrated 1.3MP webcam, and is powered by the same Intel Atom processor like most of the other netbooks on the market. The Windows-enabled model also bundles Adobe’s Acrobat Reader 8.1, a 30-day Trial for McAfee SecurityCenter and Microsoft Works 9, with no included MS Word. Just like the Linux Inspiron Mini, the Windows-enabled version also features a 4-cell battery. So, when do you plan to have this guys?
