Tiny Inspirer
The Mini 10 is a solid little thing, with a very good glossy black finish. Build quality is top class. The hinge mechanism is really sturdy. The keypad is one of the best we’ve come across on a netbook. Where most keypads are cramped for room, Dell wastes no space with a keypad bezel and provides really large keys, with great feedback. Bevelling is barely noticeable, but the keys are large enough to negate this effect. Typing is, as a result, much easier thereby addressing our number one grouse with netbooks. The display is decent enough, although colour and contrast take the proverbial toss. The trackpad is responsive enough although we don’t agree with integrating the mouse keys into it.

The Mini 10 performs at par with other netbooks based on similar configurations. It come pre-loaded with Windows XP, so the memory is sufficient for most tasks. We got a 6-cell battery, and this stretches battery life to over four hours in our test — not bad. It’s 3G ready, with a SIM slot. Priced at Rs. 17,400 the Mini 10 makes a very good buy for anyone looking for a solid netbook.
