The demand for netbooks is on the boom and there are thousands of netbooks for which consumers can choose from. But when it comes to computers, one of the most respected brands is Dell. One of Dell’s best-selling mini notebooks is the Mini Inspiron 10. This Dell notebook model has the following product specifications:

• Display: 10” widescreen LED LCD
• Z-series Intel Atom processors
• Runs on Windows or Linux Operating system
• 1 gig RAM for Windows XP and 2 gig for Vista and Linux
• 2.1 stereo speakers
• Microphone
• 160 gigabytes hard drive
• Three-cell lithium-ion batteries
• 802.11 Wi-Fi
• Webcam with 1.3 megapixel
• Memory card reader
• Two (2) USB ports
• Weighs 1.2 kilogram and with 28 millimeter height
• TV Tuner

And for the design, the Mini Inspiron 10 is definitely built for personal entertainment. The display can be extended to a HD monitor.

And now for the Mini Inspiron 10 review, here are some juicy points commonly shared by users:

• Its lightweight makes the Mini Insiron 10 ideal for constant travelers.
• Equipped with GPS features makes it even more ideal for persons who spend their life mostly outside the confines of home and office.
• The notebook is equipped with TV and antenna, ideal for those who want to watch free-to-air TV channels.
• Movies are played smoothly and seamlessly. This is due to the fact that the notebook uses the capacity of the Z-series Intel Atom processor with enhanced graphics acceleration.
• In term of battery life, the Mini Inspiron 10 is one step behind its competitors. It only has 6 hours of battery power.
• Temperature rises up to 35 degrees Celsius when used under normal conditions. This is still acceptable and the user is required to keep the heat under control by placing the unit in required room temperature.
• Keyboard ergonomics is better by making the keys broader at the bottom for easier touch typing.
• However, most users don’t like its touchpad. Buttons are too small and mouse pointer jumps at any portion of the screen. They say that it’s better to use a mouse rather than its touchpad.
• The unit is at its optimum performance under the Windows XP operating system.
• The hard disk works silently.

The system is designed for users with moderate use of undemanding applications such as internet browsing and Microsoft Office. However, even with a Zseries Intel Atom processor, the Mini Inspiron 10 is not sufficient to run applications that need DirectX component and 3D acceleration.
The TV tuner application slows the system’s response time.

Overall, the Dell Mini Inspiron 10 is a perfect road companion for web surfing and other simple tasks. As of this date, this unit is more commonly labeled as a netbook due to its limited capacities. In terms of gaming while on the road, this unit may not be able to deliver satisfaction to the users especially if the game has 3D graphics.
