Although it may look small and vulnerable to you  but the truth is there is something very special about the 10 inch Dell Inspiron Mini 10. The design is pretty much the same as the other Minis but if you specifically want a pink Dell Inspiron Mini 10 laptop that you will have to pay some extra $30 because the standard color is black with silver palm rest. It is more compact than you would imagine for a 10 inch netbook and this is mainly because of the keyboard layout. The keys are quite big for something we would expect to find on a mini.the keyboard has been expanded all the way to the edges of the laptop. It's comfortable to type on the Mini 10 and you get the pleaseant sprinfy feedback. For reasons of lack of free space, the right and left touchpad buttons are integrated into the touchpad itself which may be uncomfortable as they are quite small and difficult to use. As for the ports, the Mini 10 has the traditional USB ports, a Kensington lock slot and the memory card reader plus the Ethernet jack, headphones and microphone jack and the HDMI port.

Above the display there is a webcam, useful for video chatting. The stereo speakers are built-in but you can't expect them to be very loud. They might come in handy for some "snooze-music" though. The processor of the Mini 10 is an Intel Atom Z530 Silverthorne-class with 1 GB of RAM. This is a good machine for running the basic computer tasking like browsing the internet, using chat programs, listening to music and watching a movie. You have 160GB of available disk space to store your needed files, which is more than enough for a netbook. The Mini 10 does not appear to have any overheating problem; it stays within the normal temperature limits. The usual battery test showed that the Dell Inspiron Mini 10's battery lasts up to 2 hours and 40 minutes while surfing the internet with wireless turned on.  You will get your Mini 10 with some preinstalled software like the Microsoft Works Suite and a 3-months trial of the McAfee Anti Virus. You also benefit from the one year warranty available for all Dell laptops and notebooks. This netbook does not have much to offer for its approximately 450 dollars price. If Dell improves the battery of this laptop by switching it with the six-cell battery, it might be able to compete with the ASUS Eee PC that has 7 hours of battery life which really comes in handy when you have to travel and need something to pass the time.

Since the color of your notebook or laptop has become a very important aspect which can determine you to choose between one laptop or another, it's vital for manufacturers to spread the possibilities. Although it seems like pink is a very girlish color, boys are constantly changes their mind about rejecting the possibility of having any pink in their life (and this has become noticeable in their fashion tastes). Pink is romance and red is passion. You could say pink is the softer side of red. Dell has become aware of this issue and that is why most of their Inspiron models come in a wide variety of shiny colors to satisfy the customer's needs. If you travel quite a lot and are looking to be in line with the newest fashion trends you should consider getting one of those cute little Mini 10's for yourself.



It is a known fact the color of your laptop really matters to you (why else would companies make such colorful models? It would be a waste of money if it didn't make you happy). The glossy pink color of the case will not attract fingerprint like most such surfaces do. When you open the lid, the hinge folds down to prevent your netbook from taking up too much vertical space. You will live typing on your pink Dell Inspiron Mini 10 netbook because there are no radical keyboard changes and you can really put your fingers on those keys! This means they are just the right size as not to become frustrated while typing. But be careful with the touchpad. As we have mentioned before, the left and right buttons are integrated in the touchpad and this makes it quite difficult to use them, especially if you are used to pressing one of the buttons with your hand and scrolling around the touchpad using your other hand. You should try to use only one hand for scrolling and when you want to click that remove that same finger you used for scrolling and used it to push the left mouse button. But careful though, because clicking in the wrong place can activate the tap-to-click feature which is useless and confusing unless you are used to using it. With the Dell Touchpad software you can adjust some of the touchpad's settings, scrolling settings, external mouse settings and button settings.



As far as software goes, you get Windows XP installed on your pink Mini 10 so that's one thing less for you to worry about. Enjoy the video chat utility that helps you keep in touch with your friends all around the world. You get the Microsoft PowerPoint viewer to see all the presentations your loved one made for you on Valentine's Day. You also have that useful application called the Support Center, which help you download the drivers you need for your pink Dell Inspiron Mini 10. You can also use it for upgrades and to receive Dell support alerts.



It's pretty and pink and since you need to keep in touch all the time, it's also small and portable. Also buy a pink bag and you and your pink Mini 10 are ready to go. Thanks to the wireless card, you can now enjoy a good strawberry milkshake at your favorite coffee shop and still check your e-mails and keep your Facebook profile up-to-date. Your pink notebook is sure to make some heads turn.
