Dell releases Chromium OS build for Inspiron Mini netbooks

Brad Linder — Sun, 15 May 2011 14:53:16 +0000

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 Inspiron Mini 10v discontinued

Brad Linder — Wed, 14 Apr 2010 21:19:11 +0000

This shouldn't come as a huge surprise, but apparently Dell has pulled the plug on the Inspiron Mini 10v netbook. The company has been selling a new Inspiron Mini 10 with a 10 inch display and 1.66GHz Intel Atom N450 processor since January -- so it was just a matter of time before Dell phased out the older Atom N270-based...

Dell’s latest strategy for promoting its netbooks: Pity (Adopt a mini)

Brad Linder — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 21:21:25 +0000

Dell ran a contest to give away three Inspiron Mini 10v netbooks via Twitter this week. Sorry, it's too late to enter. The contest has ended. But as part of the promotion, Dell put together a rather amusing video that I thought was still worth sharing. See, the premise of the contest was "adopt a mini" and Dell set up...

Dell Inspiron Mini 10v review

Brad Linder — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 16:13:55 +0000

The Dell Inspiron Mini 10v is the first 10 inch laptop from Dell to feature an Intel Atom N270 processor. You might think that makes this laptop just like virtually every other 10 inch netbook on the market, but there are a few key features that make the Mini 10v stand apart including a good keyboard, an odd touchpad, and...

Dell Mini 10 disappears from Dell Europe web site (10v still available)

Brad Linder — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 13:24:17 +0000

It looks like Dell has pulled the Inspiron Mini 10 with an Intel Atom Z520 processor from its European web store. When you hit the Mini 10 link from the company's laptop page, all you see are Dell Inspiron 10v models, which pack 1.6GHz Intel Atom N270 processors. Dell's US and Canadian pages for the Mini 10 still show both...

7 mini-laptops walk into an office…

Brad Linder — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 20:02:44 +0000

I'm about to pack up the Samsung Go netbook which I recently reviewed. But before it goes, I couldn't help but take the opportunity to photograph all 7 mini-laptops I've had sitting on my desk for the last few days. If you've been reading the site, you've already seen most of these little guys. But you probably haven't ever seen...

Brad Linder — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 17:01:32 +0000

OK, it's official. I'm running out of room in my office for all these netbooks. Today a friendly FedEx guy dropped off a Dell Inspiron Mini 10v which means I've got 6 netbooks taking up space on my desk. I'm going to try to work through a backlog of reviews, but in the meantime, I thought you might enjoy my...

Hackintosh Dell Mini 10v spotted at a Best Buy

Brad Linder — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 22:40:11 +0000

While the Dell Inspiron Mini 10v may not be as easy to install OS X on as the Inspiron Mini 9, the newer model ges pretty decent scores in Boing Boing Gadgets' OS X compatibility chart. So if you're looking for a $350 mini-laptop to turn into a Macbook Mini, this netbook will do about as good as any. Of...

First up, the Inspiron Mini 10 is finally available with an integrated GPS tuner, something Dell has been promising since early this year.

Dell Mini 10v now available with 1024 x 600 display – in Japan

Brad Linder — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 13:36:32 +0000

When 9 and 10 inch netbooks started hitting the market in mid-2008, 1024 x 600 pixel screens were the standard. But over the past half year or so we've seen a growing number of PC makers slap 10.1 inch, 1024 x 576 pixel displays onto their netbooks, as if those 24 extra vertical pixels didn't matter. And the truth is,...

Brad Linder — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 17:44:43 +0000

Just in case you were wondering how easy it is to pop out the 1GB of RAM that comes with the Dell Inspiron Mini 10v and replace it with a 2GB stick, here's your answer: Not easy. Not easy at all. In fact, the process looks pretty much excruciating, and definitely isn't the sort of thing that beginning computer hackers...

Dell is clearly at least experimenting with Google Android netbooks

Brad Linder — Wed, 20 May 2009 15:45:47 +0000

Dell has yet to officially announce anything about a device running the Google Android operating system. But rumors of an Android powered Dell netbook have been floating around since software developer Bsquare accidentally(?) mentioned a Dell Android netbook in a press release a few weeks ago. Now to add fuel to the flames, Dell has posted a video on its...
