Tech by PC

I read a post on Direct2Dell on the Mini. I have been anticipating this ever since I first saw the pictures of a red version of this that was caught on camera way back. As I mentioned earlier I am disappointed in the price, and the Ubuntu version costs more than the XP version, all other things equal.

I showed this to my wife and think it would be a good replacement for her Inspiron 8600 that is broken. The power port on the 8600 is nearly broken. It is extremely difficult to get a power connection. Randomly the power will disconnect and the battery will drain.

My work has a Dell Employee Purchase Program and while the prices aren’t discounted much from their regular website, it does offer free financing for a year with payroll deduction. I may end up purchasing one of these for her. I’d really like Dell to send me an evaluation unit though. As I talked about earlier, I think there could be a use for these in the enterprise.
