Review Dell Mini 1012 Netbook

 

Nvidia Ion Killer. The Broadcom Crystal HD chip in Dell's Mini 10 ...

Long battery life ; 1366x768 pixel ; Silent ; Stable case & hinges ; Smooth HD videos ; Very good keyboard

High waste air temperatures ; No HDMI ; Poor touchpad feedback

That not more manufacturers have had the idea of building in an HD chip like that of Broadcom. The perpetual "I want HD" problem would be solved and the minis still have a very good runtime, anyway

Nice looks, six color choices ; Well designed, very good build quality ; Excellent battery life, over 8 hours ; Great keyboard ; Useful online data backup software ; Well-priced

Relatively small touchpad ; No Wi-Fi 802.11n

The new Dell Inspiron Mini 10 is a stylish, good-looking 10-inch netbook. It packs in a nice keyboard and offers excellent battery life of over 8 hours. Best value for money netbook to buy right now.

Dell Inspiron Mini 1012 review

 

Netbooks are perfectly good for basic internet and office tasks, but are usually incapable of playing high definition (HD) video. To overcome this some manufacturers have fitted their netbooks with HD-capable graphics chips, but these can shorten...

Its HD support might not be up to much and the touchpad's annoying, but the high-resolution screen makes this a desirable choice.

Dell Inspiron Mini 10 New (1012)

 

Dell tries to perfect the netbook formula with their new iteration of the Mini

Cool design and variety of colored tops available, very good battery life, easily workable keyboard and touch-pad, compact charger, well priced, 3 configurations to choose from

Gets heated at the bottom under intensive use, HDMI port, which was available in the earlier model, has been removed
