We like:
Low price; good battery life; XP and Linux OS options
We don't like:
Some awkward keyboard compromises; no SSD options larger than 16GB; lack of customisation options in the UK
CNET UK judgement:
Dell's entry into the netbook market means it's time to take these low-cost, low-power PCs seriously. The Inspiron Mini 9 is an excellent example of the form, if not radically different from the competition
