chromium os logo

It’s been nearly 18 months since Dell released a Chromium OS build for the Dell Inspiron Mini 10v netbook — allowing users to test out a pre-release build of Chrome OS long before it would be ready for the public. Now the computer maker has released a brand new build with updated wireless drivers which support the latest versions of…

Dell flashes what may be an 11 inch mini-laptop in public

dell 11

Dell’s probably almost definitely working on a mini-laptop with an 11.6 inch display. And now it looks like two Dell officials may be carrying these little laptops around with them. Engadget reports that Dell’s Phil Bryant and Michael Tatelman flashed two unnamed, undescribed, but definitively small laptops at an event in Paris today. There’s no word on the pricing or…

Dell Inspiron Mini family photos

dell-minis

The folks at Engadget spent some time with the newly announced Dell Inspiron Mini 10 netbook, and shot a bunch of photos of the netbook sitting next to its siblings, the Dell Inspiron Minis 9 and 12. The Mini 10 doesn’t look much bigger than the Mini 9, which isn’t surprising, since the display is just an inch larger. But…

Dell launches USB TV tuner for Inspiron Mini family

dell-mini-tv-tuner

Dell has announced a new USB TV tuner desisnged for the company’s netbook line. Sure, you could technically plug any USB TV Tuner from Hauppauge, AverMedia, or any other company into your netbook and achieve the same results. But the $50 Dell USB Digital TV Tuner is cute, tiny, and designed to match the aesthetics of Dell’s black and silver…

Dell adds a little color to Inspiron Mini line

dell-mini-9-colors

The Dell Inspiron Mini 9 and Dell Inspiron Mini 12 aren’t the most unattractive netbooks around. But the fact that the mini-laptops were only available in black and white did make them feel a bit drab when compared to more colorful options from companies like Lenovo and Acer. Now it looks like Dell is ready to take the lead in…

Red, pink Dell Inspiron Mini 9 netbooks hit Japan

dell-mini-red

Way back when Michael Dell first “leaked” news about the Dell Inspiron Mini netbook line to Gizmodo, he was carrying a machine with a glossy red cover. But so far the netbook has only been available in black or white. Now it looks like red and pink models are about to be released – in Japan. Dell is also releasing…

Dell Mini hack: Adding a hard drive indicator LED

dell-mini-light

While some netbook makers *cough* *MSI* *cough* seem to feel the need to throw so many status LEDs on their case that it’s tough to tell what any individual blinking light means at a glance, others have taken a much simpler approach. The Dell Inspiron Mini 9, for example, has just two status lights: One for power, and another for…

QVC selling a $449 Dell Mini 9 for $529

dell-mini-9-qvc

How much would you expect to pay for a 9 inch netbook with a 1.6GHz Intel Atom CPU, 1024 x 600 pixel display, an 8GB solid state disk, 1GB of RAM, and Windows XP? A thousand dollars? Two thousand? Two hundred? If you guessed $529, you’ve obviously been watching the QVC home shopping channel. Because that’s how much the company…

Not every computer with an Atom CPU is a netbook – or is it?

Dell has officially pulled back the curtain on the Inspiron Mini 12, a light weight and relatively cheap 12 inch notebook. It looks almost exactly like the Dell Inspiron Mini 9, which has a 9 inch screen. But the Mini 12 is bigger, has a higher resolution display, a full sized keyboard (with function keys), and a different version of…

Dell offers easy fix for Inspiron Mini partition error

Some early adopters who ordered Dell Inspiron Mini 9 netbooks with Ubuntu Linux and solid state disks larger than 4GB may have noticed that only 4GB of storage was available. No, Dell didn’t try to shortchange you by shipping a 4GB disk instead of the 8GB or 16GB model you ordered. Rather, the company used the same disk image for…

Dell Vostro A90: Business class Inspiron Mini

Dell has apparently dressed up the Inspiron Mini 9 netbook with a coat of black paint and redubbed it the Dell Vostro A90. While the Inspiron Min is clearly aimed at consumers and perhaps educational markets, the Vostro line of laptop computers is typically targeted at business users. And the black paint certainly makes the Vostro A90 look a little…

Dell to offer some sort of discount on Inspiron Mini 9 tomorrow

Dell is running a “10 Days of Deals” promotion, and it looks like the Dell Inspiron Mini 9 will get its time in the spotlight tomorrow. There’s no indication of what kind of deal we’ll see. Dell could slash the already low price of the netbook by a few bucks, or perhaps the company will bundle some accessories with the…
