Dell Beats Others, Announces Inspiron Mini 10 with Pine Trail

What’s this? Dell couldn’t wait any longer for CES 2010 that they decided to announce the new Inspiron Mini 10, now loaded with Intel Pine Trail Platform, aka N450.  They probably want to earn the distinction of being the first to release a new netbook with this new CPU.

Anyway, the new Inspiron Mini 10v will be available starting January 5, 2010 in the U.S. and January 7 in all other countries.  It will run on Windows 7 Starter Edition or Windows XP and later on Ubuntu 9.04.

Another new feature of the Inspiron Mini 10 is its design and form factor. It now have textured palm rest area that is more finger-print resistant. There is also a touchpad with integrated mouse buttons.

The new netbook will also have several customization options including Bluetooth, 3G and GPS. It will also feature Broadcome Crystal HD Media Accelerator and a TV Tuner.

There will be 7 color design of the new Inspiron Mini 10 - black, white, blue, purple, red, green, and pink.

For battery, there are several options to choose from, either a 3 cell battery pack and two types of 6-cell battery packs.

    Oh I cannot wait to see what Samsung have planned for CES, the NC10 has been my walk around PC for ages. Ideally I would like an 11.6″ ultra thin convertible tablet with a matte screen and a days battery life with the same great NC10 keyboard; are you listening Samsung? lol

    Whoops, forgot the rest of the post.

    This Dell looks nice but it’s too much of an incremental upgrade for my liking. I can’t see it wooing the majority of current netbook owners into an upgrade. I’d also like to see more netbooks offering Windows 7 Home Premium, it’s not as if they aren’t all perfectly capable of using it even with Aero turned on.
