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.
