Dell Mini 9 & Mini 12 - XP vs Vista
was just about the new Dell Mini 9 and the Mini 12 -
Interesting that the 9 comes with XP and yet the 12 comes with Vista... Too bad... I would think that XP would be better suited for the "netbook" generation -- ---------------------------------- "If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something." - Steven Wright |

But Dell have said they will be selling it with Linex and XP by the end of the year. Chris |

I'm trying to return one now, in fact. (Sold as T8300 and has T5250 processor, in spite of Dell records to the contrary, which is probably related to how they can't straighten things out for a return in some paperwork snafu). I don't know about the 12, but the 13 is pretty small and light and has a regular keyboard, which the 9 does not. -- On the internet, nobody knows you're a jerk. |
