Last month we saw the Dell Inspiron Mini 1018 available in Europe to purchase for €279 with a release in other regions promised soon. The netbook is now available to purchase in the US and is available in two configurations.

Both models will have a 10.1 inch display, with a resolution of 1024×600. We’ve already learned that Dell won’t be adding a HD display option, which would increase the maximum resolution. Both models of the Dell Mini 1018 will include an Intel Atom 1.66GHz N455 processor and 1GB of RAM. The 1018 will also use Windows 7 Starter as the OS. For $299.99 you’ll also get a 3 cell battery and 160GB hard drive. The other configuration will sport a 250GB hard drive and a 6 cell battery and have a retail price of $397.99. Although if you act fast, there’s a $48 discount, bringing the total to $349.99.

This project is just two thumbs up of awesome in my book. A Japanese modder from parts unknown took a humble Dell Inspiron Mini, gutted it and added Android to create a gigantic version of the Dell Mini 3i. I’m not sure if he laughed like a mad scientist after completing the project but he did show off the music player and made a phone call on it. There was even a camera in there, though he didn’t test it. Hit the link for the actual process how it was built.

In this month’s catalogue from Dell there’s several great saving offers on from the Mini 10 to the Inspiron 17. An interesting find on the very last page reveals an even cheaper Mini 10 model for $299. The new model denoted with a v, the Dell Inspiron Mini 10v will be released mid May for $100 less than the current Mini 10 model. Not much is cut back for the $100 either. The hard drive is reduced in size from 160GB to 120GB which is still adequate. The processor used has also been changed. The 10v will use the more traditional CPU of the Intel Atom N270 instead of the Z series Atom processor.
