Dell Inspiron Mini IM12-2868 12.1-Inch Obsidian Black Netbook user reviews
"I bought this laptop for court reporting school, since the software wasn't compatible with my Mac. I was about to update the drivers for my steno machine, then I realized that there isn't a CD-ROM drive. I guess it's my fault for not checking and doing an impulse buy, but just putting that out there since I didn't see it listed before purchasing. Great laptop though for the money. When I took it out of the box, I was so surprised about the weight. Sure, it says the weight online, but it's a shock as to how light it is once you hold it. Keyboard could be a little bigger, but it all depends on what you're using it for. "

"I spent about 35 hours a week trying to find the right Netbook. It is SO hard, since there are so many and they are so very similar. I did try an HP Netbook, which had a good keyboard and good speakers, but the screen was just too small.
After talking to the guys at [...] they told me about the Dell Mini 12, and they said that I can get it for less than Dell sells it for, if I buy it from Amazon.com
The Mini 12 came in the mail a few days later, and I was very happy with it, once I disabled most of the startup items using msconfig
It was easy to connect to my wireless network, and I love the large screen. The speakers are the only low point for this device, so I usually in some external speakers. This Netbook is VERY Lightweight, runs most applications fast, and runs cool and very quite, with is no fan. It does have video output, but does not run every resolution, just a few of the more common ones. "

"Dell has always had the perfect product for computers. I have had a desktop and 3 laptops and now have this red Dell Inspiron Mini. The laptop came set up with Windows XP all ready to use. My wireless account worked perfectly. The screen is a perfect size, I don't have a problem with the keyboard, it is 92% the size of a standard keyboard. The Dell mini weighs 2.5 pounds. I have to be careful and not lift more than 5 pounds with my right arm, so this lightweight laptop is a perfect size for me. I travel frequently and this laptop is perfect for travel, I can slip it into my handbag. Mine has a 6 cell battery and lasts longer than my larger laptops. I store photos on my laptop and I have more room than I will ever use. "

"I purchased my mini12 few months back from dell. Got a great deal. Note, if you are going to get one, get a 6 cell battery option, well worth it. I do alot of traveling overseas, and having a lightweight netbook is very important to me. I got Windows XP installed from Dell. Works perfectly.
For surfing the net, doing basic word processing, spreadsheet work this thing rocks. Granted it's not meant for large scale applications, you can still install MS Office and it runs quite smoothly. With the absence of a CD-R drive, you can simply upload video, movies and songs on a flash drive and voila, you are set. "
