Digital Home Thoughts: Dell Inspiron Mini 9 Netbook Unboxing and First Impressions

This is an unboxing and first impressions video of the Dell Inspiron Mini 9, Dell's first step into the world of low-cost netbooks. The Mini 9 that I ordered has Windows XP, a 1.6 GHz Intel Atom CPU, 16 GB solid-state flash storage, 1 GB of RAM, a 4 cell battery, and an 8.9 inch at 1024 x 600 resolution. The Linux-based versions start at $349 USD, and the XP-based versions start at $399. If you get the XP-based version with every option, it's about $480 USD. Check out the video below, and watch for my review to follow shortly.

As a side note, this is the first video I've uploaded from my new Canon HF100 HD camera - unfortunately YouTube has no option for 16:9 wide-screen videos, so you'll be seeing ugly black bars on the top and bottom. If you have a YouTube account, do me a favour: email YouTube and encourage them to offer a 16:9 player for wide-screen content. Also, rate the video and subscribe to our channel.
