I just watched the video over on Gadgetspot of Dell’s new UMPC being unboxed. It looks like less packing than Dell normally uses, which is a good thing, and I think due to the fact that they aren’t offering any options with the Mini like an external monitor, docking stand, etc. Things that would normally require more room in a standard box. The other thing I was concerned with is how long it took to boot up Windows XP the first time. I know what the performance of the Atom processor should be like since I have a MSI Wind barebones that I built, (more on that later), and this was quite disappointing.

Anyway, I still wish I had one to test hands on. As I have mentioned before, I believe these could have use in the enterprise, and I would really like to replace my wife’s Inspiron 8600 with one as well. At any rate, with that little piece of video and the lousy performance I have no intention of running out to buy one just yet.

    the design of the MSI Wind is similar to the basic netbooks you can find around. the price point of this netbook is cheaper than acer or dell netbooks :

      In the event this is a real question, the most likely thing you’ll want to do is to look for the RSS icon in the “Meta” section in the far lower right column. Alternatively you can click the Log In button and then click Register.

  3. Dell Mini 10 is definitely a market leader as it is providing awesome package in a competitive price. USP of Dell Mini 10 is definitely the battery life which is expected to be more than 7 hours (even 8 hours in some cases). So you just need to charge your netbook once at home and no need to carry adapter if planning to stay in office for just 8 hours.
