A larger sibling to Dell's Inspiron Mini 9, the Inspiron Mini 10 in gecko green adds keyboard comfort and even more entertainment-friendly dimensions to the Inspiron Mini family. Like the Inspiron Mini 9 and Mini 12, the Mini 10 is a compact, easy-to-carry Internet companion that's ideal for teens, tweens, travelers and "Tweeters" to surf the Web, chat with friends (both via text and using the integrated 1.3-megapixel webcam), stream video and audiocontent, and upload on-the-go photos to blogs or social networking sites. Standard built-in Wi-Fi means quick and easy wireless internet access to hotspots in the home, on campus, in a local coffee shop, in the office or at a conference. 
Super thin and ultra-portable, the Dell Inspiron Mini 10 weighs in at just 2.6 pounds. | The Inspiron Mini 10 features an intuitive Dell-developed custom home screen interface that is designed to make it easy to find what you're looking for.

A bright 10.1-inch display is designed to be able to present web sites without a lot of left-right scrolling, and the 92-percent full-size keyboard is large and easy to navigate. An HDMI port also allows you to connect the Mini 10 to your HDTV for large-screen, high-def viewing. Other features include a 160 GB hard drive, 1 GB of RAM (533 MHz; maximum capacity), integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, three USB ports, 3-in-1 memory card reader, and up to 3 hours of battery life. 
Offering a range of bright color options, the Inspiron Mini 10 is a great travel companion. |  | It comes preinstalled with the Microsoft Windows XP Home operating system, which offers more experienced users an enhanced and innovative experience that incorporates Windows Live features like Windows Live Messenger for instant messaging and Windows Live Mail for consolidated email accounts on your desktop. A Better Keyboard

|  | | Power-Sipping Processor
Newly designed from the ground up, the Intel Atom Z520 uses a 45nm (nanometer) design structure with new hafnium-infused circuitry--which reduces electrical current leakage in transistors--to conserve even more energy and give you more time away from the wall outlet. The Intel Atom Z520 provides a 1.3 GHz CPU speed with a 533 MHz front-side bus (FSB) and 512 KB L2 cache--which uses just 2 watts of power. (An L2, or secondary, cache temporarily stores data; and a larger L2 cache can help speed up your system's performance. The FSB carries data between the CPU and RAM, and a faster front-side bus will deliver better overall performance.) It supports Intel's 64-bit computing architecture, which can allow the use of extended virtual and physical memory with compatible 64-bit software, as well as Intel's Hyper-Threading technology for speedier multitasking. Networking, Connectivity & Expansion
This notebook has an integrated 54g wireless LAN that's fully compatible with 802.11b/g wireless networks. With the integrated Bluetooth connectivity, you can communicate and synchronize with Bluetooth-enabled peripherals such as PDAs and cell phones as well as use Bluetooth-enabled headsets for handsfree video chats. It comes with the following external connectors: - 3 USB 2.0 ports (1 powered) for connecting a wide range of peripherals--from digital cameras to MP3 players
- 1 HDMI output (for connecting to a compatible HDTV or home theater receiver for uncompressed digital audio and video via a single cable)
- Analog video output: None
- 10/100 Fast Ethernet networking
- 1 headphone (line-out) and 1 microphone (line-in)
- 3-in-1 memory card reader compatible with Secure Digital (SD), Secure Digital High Capacity (SDHC), Multimedia Card (MMC), and Memory Stick

 Truly Quiet PC July 6, 2009

I got this laptop about 2 days ago and am typing this review using it. The keyboard is great. About half of all netbooks have good keyboards like this one.
The best feature is that this Netbook is completely silent. There is NO fan which means there is no noise. This was the key feature for me because I like recording audio books so using this means I have a 100% silent environment to record my voice.
People complaint about the 1GB or ram but for windows XP that is all you really need. I think they can't add more ram to this netbook because it is passively cooled which means you can just slap in any module with your greasy fingers. I could be wrong. Anyways I would rather have 1GB with xp that runs everything then 2GB with Windows 7.
Another great feature that I only just noticed yesterday is that it has a sealed LCD. All other netbooks and laptops that I have seen have a normal lcd that is very difficult to clean. You know the type. If you touch it it ripples sort of so you become paranoid about cleaning them. This netbook has a solid plastic covering over the screen which means it is easy to clean.
Another important feature for me was that this included the windows XP reinstall CD. That means I can experiment with Android or Ubuntu and then put XP on later if I like. With other companies they don't include an OS cd so if you install another operating system on your computer and don't like it you are in trouble. Also the dell has no bloatware. I looked at the Acer 11.6 and it is full of about 100 useless bonus programs that slow it down. Enjoy doing that with no CD to fresh install.
So if you want a silent pc with an easy to clean screen get this one. Otherwise go with the Asus that has like 8 hour batter life. This one only have about 4 hours on a 3 cell battery.
love it!!! June 16, 2009

absolutely exceeded all my expectations!!! Not only is the keyboard the perfect size, the Dell Chat feature is so much fun. I didn't even know it came with it, but it is free internet chat with anyone with a webcam and now when I travel I can talk and see my kids. Mine came with the 3 cell battery, but with the energy effecient Atom z520 proceesor I get plenty of battery life, almost 4 hours of continous use, probably closer to 6 if taking breaks or letting it go idle. Very slim and light weight and with the wide screen I don't have to scroll left to right to see everything on the page. It also comes standard with XP, which is awesome and easy to use. Oh, and the Dell Remote Access is so cool, I can access all my files, music and pictures from my home PC and not clog up my hard drive. I liked mine so much, i bought one each for my kids, so we can always stay in touch.
Awesome netbook in a very attractive package! September 15, 2009

Note: This review is for the Dell Mini 10 (Product) RED edition. It has the same specs as the regular Mini 10, but comes with a limited edition green patterned design on the case.
What's great about it: Sharp looks, great keyboard, fast program launch, solid build
What's not so great: Nothing, really.
"Yes, the Dell Mini 10 has the exact same specs as about a dozen other netbooks on the market right now. Very little sets one netbook apart from the next. As someone who owns a few different models and has used a few others as well, I have to say that I am very pleased with every aspect of this Dell.
The keyboard is wonderful - better than even the Toshiba Mini or the HP Mini, and that's saying a lot. Touch-typing is a dream - I was up to 100% accuracy within minutes, and the keys really feel substantial and sturdy under my fingers. They also have a very satisfying "click" that makes me happy.
The overall build of this netbook is very solid, and it seems like one of the most sturdy ones of its kind on the market right now. This Product model has a wonderful glossy screen with no bevel around the edges, which makes it wonderful to look at. Further, the nifty green cover (special edition) is great, making this as much a fashion accessory as a business tool. This model also has a tv tuner which worked very nicely in the Best Buy store. I have yet to try it out at home, but I have high hopes for it.
The mouse pad area is rather small - I suppose you have to sacrifice something to get the great keyboard - but this is tolerable. The mouse pad is a bit twitchy, however, and I am hoping that I will be able to adjust that once I get into things more. This is not a deal breaker, because so many netbooks out there have this problem.
Programs launch pretty quickly on the Dell Min 10, although boot up seemed to take forever. Windows XP runs very smoothly here, and the machine seems to do exactly what it was designed to do. A nice bonus: this netbook comes with restore discs for XP, Works and all the drivers, something I haven't seen in all the other netbooks. And my experience with Dell tech support has been great over the past year.
As someone who owns the Averatec Buddy (rebranded MSI Wind) and an early Asus Eee PC and who was eyeing the next generation of 11.6 inch netbooks, I have to say that I am very pleased with this Dell and, as usual, glad I made another Dell purchase.
If you are looking for a compact, attractive, solidly-built netbook that more than holds its own against the competitors, I highly recommend this special edition Dell Mini 10. I am thrilled with it, and I think it will soon become my new best friend."
A Great Investment. Whats with the Bad Reviews? September 10, 2009

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R18EGV5ST2E6C0 I just purchased my Dell Mini 10 (Blue Cover) and I have to say that this was one of the best investments I ever made. If you think you are getting a high end laptop for the price of three-hundred bucks, then you are sorely mistaken. This is basically a smart phone PDA increased to the size of a ten inch screen with a keyboard attached. Most of the bells & whistles are intact.
At first it took me some time to get use to the screen. Websites are slightly altered due to the 10 inch screen, so and with the tool bar on top that includes (File, Refresh, etc) it can seem like there's hardly any room to view webpage's, but you'll get use to it. Viewing any site that you would on a regular desktop will have certain parts of the page moved around when viewing it on your netbook & this is to be expected because of the size.
I know everyone is complaining about the keypad, but it's really not that bad. It does take a few tries before you realized what works best for you. I've learned from having a Dell Studio Laptop that the best thing to do is just utilize the free space as a mouse and click. Don't bother trying to hit down on the key, but just double tap on the keypad to pick a selection. If you don't, you will find the experience of navigating through websites, typing a document on word, etc to be a horrendous experience.
Otherwise, if you are looking for a great small compact netbook to stay connected to the web, check email, browse a few sites - then this is the netbook for you. There isn't much customization due to the small size of the netbook that feels very light just a little under three pounds and practically smaller and skinnier then the new Twilight book. I would have it ordered it on amazon, but it was cheaper through Dell.
Overall, I am very pleased with my purchase because it's a great investment for anyone who needs internet access on the go. The only complaint I have is the price. I know its three-hundred, but I own a regular laptop with a 15 inch screen & that HP was only three-hundred. Sure, it was not a high end groundbreaking laptop, but it does the trick & power wise, it's stronger than the mini. I really feel the price point should drop by hundred bucks. Otherwise, this is still a great PC tool to have.
Pros:
Light weight (Less then three pounds)
Customizable Cover with different colors
Windows XP (Thank GOD - Vista is so WHACK)
Keyboard is 90% size of a real keyboard
Wi-Fi
3 USB slots
160GB Memory
1.66 GHZ
1GB RAM
Cons:
A bit pricey IMO - It really should be two hundred & under
No DVD Slot

Pros:
I installed heavy apps and no problem excellent Wireless networking reception, product is shipped with widows XP, I downloaded and installed Windows 7RC, faster performance ( 1GB Memory ) all drivers loaded ok without installing additional drivers Just go to Windows update and all devices are configured automatically.
Cons:
No CD/DVD Drive included, but dell has a new feature ( for me ) to boot operating system from USB or external devices so you can copy operating system files and boot from a USB.
I would like to say that absolutely it is a good product.
