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...

Dells Inspiron Mini 10 isnt just a netbook, its a work of art. Well, its lid is anyway.
