Dell Mini 9 Gets 2GB RAM and 64GB SSD Options

January 7, 2009 3 Comments

The Dell Inspiron Mini 9 can now be purchased in two new configurations. The new options allows buyers to order a Mini 9 running Ubuntu with 2GB of RAM or with a 64GB SSD installed.

The cost of the new 2GB option will be an extra $75 on the regular price of a Mini 9 and the 64GB SSD configuration will set you back an extra $150.  The pricing seems a little high and as Portable Monkey point out, if you are able to do the job yourself, its possible to add the extra RAM for less than $75.

There are restrictions on the Windows XP versions of the netbook that mean it isn’t possible for Dell to sell a unit with any more than 1GB RAM installed and no higher than a 16GB SSD or 160GB HDD installed either hence, no extra goodies for the Windows versions of the Mini 9.

    Hi, I got a Mini 9 with XP, 1Gb Ram, 16Gb SSD
    Keyboard was playing up so talked to tech and they sent a new one sorted! Said to the bloke thanks now all I need is 2Gb Ram his reply was “that system can only use 1gb Ram”

    Is it worth buying a 2Gb or not? I was looking to install Windows 9
