Mine only worked for two weeks. December 2, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful

Pros:
Compact
Lightweight
Portable
Sufficient for a mobile pc, but the current field is getting crowded with many other manufacturers offering similar products, and many that are much better.

Cons:
Internal drive went bad within 2 weeks.
Would no longer boot - "Operating System Not Found"
Sent the unit back twice for repair, and was returned BOTH times with the same problem as if it was never touched.
Finally requested a replacement unit, and am now still waiting on the replacement.

It is currently December 1, 2008, and I do not have a working Dell Mini 9 that I ordered on 9/10/2008.

Purchase from DELL with care. With the sheer number of other manufacturers with similar (and even more powerful) MINI computers, do your homework.

I actually requested a refund if I returned the product and was told I had to have returned it within 21 days. I didn't even have the computer in my hands that long, but Dell was not willing to give me a refund.

Great mini laptop November 28, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful

This unit is great for sitting on the couch and checking email and general browsing. I hated holding the heavy 15" laptop while try to do simple things like this.

It was also bought for a second laptop so when the primary is in the hands of my wife, I had something to use. I figure this is great for taking out of town.

My young daughter is now taking ownership of it. She thinks the size is perfect for her.

So far, I love it. It is light with incredible battery life. I got the Linux Ubuntu software instead of the Windows Vista. It is about the same navigation as Windows and learning curve is next to nothing. Instead of Internet Explorer, it comes with Firefox which is superior browser. Linux is even better than Apple's OS; I am impressed.

Configuring the mini into my wireless network was a breeze.

I looked at the ACER in a Staples store and did not like it. The DELL screen is much better quality.

Take a look at the DELL OUTLET for these units also. I paid 279 dollars plus shipping and tax for "Previously Ordered" Mini 9. I upgraded the RAM myself to 2 Gig from Crucial for about 32 dollars. I bought a SDHC 8 Gig card to supplement the 4Gig internal storage.
