    Advantages Advantages Compact, well made with good connectivity

    Disadvantages Disadvantages HD Capacity, cramped keyboard

    This is something of a two-fold review. Mainly it will cover the Dell Mini9 netbook, which is after all the heading under which it is filed, but inevitably it will also cover the Vodafone mobile broadband contract under which it was bought. Computing has gone through a bit of an upheaval recently. Things used to be so much more straightforward; ever since I bought my first PC the standard domestic buyer would need to spend about £1000 to get something that could cope with all their needs, for a couple of years at least. When that machine began to show it’s age you’d buy another for the same ... more

    Advantages Advantages Battery life, Sturdy,

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Cramped keyboard.

    Vodafone are selling this for £30 a month for 2 years with 3GB data allowance. Thats a hefty contract as that comes to £720 altogether for a netbook and internet. Taking into account that Dell are selling the laptop for about £280, the internet works out to be £540 for the two years, or £22.50 a month. To be honest, its cheaper to buy separately as its only £15 a month for 3GB, on a 1 or two year contract. So why do I have this from Vodafone? well, i won it in a competition! Dell are coming along quite nicely with their range of laptops to be rather sturdy and reliable. This laptop is both ... more

    Advantages Advantages Runs Mac OS X (patched edition) perfectly, easy to upgrade RAM and WiFi modules, great screen

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Rubbish hard drive, hard drive can be expensive to upgrade, just like any other 9" netbook

    This is a netbook, just like any other netbook with its type of calibre. It has a 9 inch screen like a typical netbook; it has an Atom 1.6 GHz processor and 1 GB of RAM like any other netbook. But what makes this one so special isn’t because it is made by Dell. It is because you can install Mac OS X on it and everything will work. Video, audio, wireless, Ethernet, the whole shebang comes to life with Mac OS X, rather than on other machines with audio missing or graphics looking like a Salvador Dali paintings, although that may not always be a bad thing. This is the reason why so many of these ... more

    Advantages Advantages Good for Internet

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Needs some more original GB

    I got this product for Christmas last year and I have loved it ever since. This is an easy to use, practical, and portable device. Also it is very stylish with when you buy it being able to choose the colour you want from; Blue, Pink, Red, Green, White and black, making your device both stylish and useful. Also, netbooks are designed for being portable, easy to use and surfing the web, and I speak for everyone when I say I know when I say it does all that perfectly. Now, the device itself is attractive, but does it work? The answer, that's up to you. The internet use has no flaws on this ... more

    Advantages Advantages Excellent for the web and has a good sized keyboard.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Limited power, memory and storage.

    Just bought one of these from PC World On Line for an incredible price of £149.99 including delivery. I was expecting something maybe a bit substandard but what I have is fantastic. The 9 inch screen is big enough even for those with not perfect 20 20 vision to read web pages. It's very lightweight at under 1 kg. Small minus point is that it gets very hot underneath when using it. I believe that the fan only kicks in at a certain temperature. The Netbook boots up quickly, surfs the web perfectly, either wired, by in built wi-fi or by mobile internet and came with an astonishing bonus of ... more
