Dell Inspiron Mini 9 Netbook Review
|
Posted on Tuesday, April 14 2009 @ 16:48:53 CEST by Thomas De Maesschalck |
While there are many netbooks on the market from a variety of
different vendors, for the most part they are composed of the same
hardware. They generally carry an Intel Atom processor with a
solid-state drive or hard drive, 1GB or so of memory, and an 8" to 10"
screen. One area though where these netbooks can differentiate is with
the operating system. While Microsoft's Windows XP continues to be used
on a large number of netbook computers, when it comes to those vendors
deploying Linux each usually has a slightly different flavor. ASUS
prefers a spin of Xandros on their Eee PC, there is Linpus, gOS, and
many others are out there. When it comes to Dell with their popular
Inspiron Mini 9 netbook, they happen to be using Ubuntu but with a few
modifications. In preparations for an article later this week where we
will be extensively looking at Ubuntu's netbook performance, in this
article we are taking a closer look at Dell's Inspiron Mini 9.
