Dell Begins Selling Inspiron Mini 9

Posted by timothy on from the lightbulbs-in-round-rock dept.

mocoloco writes "A week after the rumored date, Dell has begun selling their entry into the netbook/subnotebook/UMPC market, the Inspiron Mini 9. The base system for $349 includes Ubuntu 8.04 "with custom Dell interface", 512MB RAM, and a 4GB SSD. There are options with XP, one that includes an 8GB drive and a $40 instant savings, another with a 16GB drive and 1GB RAM that has a $55 instant savings. Curiously the Ubuntu systems are a pre-order at this point, to be shipped within 15 days. Also, no Red option yet."

    You should learn to proofread. You're giving us Canadians a bad name, therefore Dell won't sell their new products to us.

    Yes, it's weapons-grade beer. You've also stocked up most of this continent's oil too... hmmm.

    French support for Dell shouldn't be much of an issue:

    "reboot your PC" - "rechargez votre PC"

    "reinstall the operating system" - "réinstallez le du système d'exploitation"

    I've got most of the work already done!
