With the success of the Apple iPad, things have gone a bit quiet on the netbook front recently, but Dell is hoping its Inspiron Mini 1018 will change this. A 10-inch netbook offering lots of features at a bargain basement price, it's perfect for studen...
Unlike lots of netbooks, which tend to feel flimsy and toy like, the Dell Inspiron Mini 1018 provides a very robust construction. This makes it ideal for a life on the road, and it's more than capable of standing up to the rigours of day-to-day use. The m...
Unfortunately, the interface is not all good. The touchpad is far too shallow, with the keyboard mounted too far forward in the chassis, limiting space.
It's a small price to pay for such and impressive budget choice, however. With a good keyboard, excellent build quality and features including a 250GB hard drive, the Dell Inspiron Mini 1018 is well worth the asking price.Best offers for the Dell Inspi...

The Dell Inspiron Mini 1012 or 'New Mini 10' as it's also known on the Dell website is another Atom based netbook, and as the name suggests it has a 10 inch screen (10.1 actually) - the difference here is that it's a higher resolution than the standar...
Apparently Dell felt that already having a Mini 10 and Mini 10V wasn't quite confusing enough for customers, so they decided that they needed a 'New Mini 10'. I don't entirely know why they have this short form when they also create a long form, in th...

Minor exterior changes and new Atom chips aside, the 2010 Mini 10 is hard to get too excited about. Gone is the sub-£200 option, gone is the choice of Linux or a robust solid-state drive. In return, the price has gone up and you get nothing more than...

Dell's basic netbook adds better battery life and the newest Intel Atom CPU, and robust configuration options add a level of flexibility many other netbooks lack.

The Dell Inspiron Mini 10 is the polar opposite of the 10v. While the latter is designed to be a cheap as possible in the name of robust portable computing, the goal of the 10 proper is to be more a jack of all trades. Like all the current crop of Ato...

Dells Inspiron Mini 10 isnt just a netbook, its a work of art. Well, its lid is anyway. Dell has employed an artist by the name of Tristan Eaton to supply three designs for the Inspiron Mini 10 range and we tested one of them. It was an image of a sharp-kneed woman with her hands together, covered in patterns including swirls and circles. Now were not properly qualified to say what is and isnt art, but we definitely thinks it looks cool. Its a far cry from the flowery pattern that adorne...
