Dell is launching a new version of the Dell Inspiron Mini 10 in Europe. The new model is called the Dell Inspiron Mini 1018 and although similar to the previous version, it does include a few updates to set it apart from the older model.

The new version has a similar processor that runs at 1.66GHz. The previous model was the Intel Atom N450. This new model has an Intel Atom N455 which brings compatibility with DDR3 memory.

The touchpad has also received an update that brings separate left and right buttons rather than the integrated buttons on the previous model. Also the netbook is one colour rather than two. [Read more…]

T-Mobile have announced that they are offering the Dell Mini 10 netbook with a built in T-Mobile compatible 3G service.

The netbook is going on sale today for $199.99 on a 24 month contract in various select areas in the US which includes Chicago, Dallas, Miami and Los Angeles. It will also be available through the website and through T-Mobile’s sales number.

The Dell Mini 10 appears to be slightly modified from the standard ones available on the Dell website in that it runs an Intel Atom N450 processor that is clocked at 1.66GHz. The battery has six cells and can store 56WHr of energy allowing for up to 8 hours of usage on a single charge which we assume was tested with all features switched off such as Wireless as well as a fairly dim screen. Either way you should at least get 6 hours from a single charge. [Read more…]

Dell have launched their new Dell Mini 10 netbook that comes supplied with the all new Intel Atom N450 processor.

The new Dell Mini 10 is thinner and has a more sleek design. The keyboard on this netbook measures 92% of a full keyboard and the palm rest area is now textured allowing for less smudges to appear on the lower side of the netbook.

For the Mini 10 a new hinge has been created allowing a slimmer device that can still hold a decent sized battery. Three batteries are available for the Mini 10 with the 3 cell version offering 4 hours of usage while the two 6 cell versions offer about 8.5 and 9.5 hours each. Also both the 3 cell and 6 cell batteries measure the same size meaning that the mini 10 netbook wont have any additional bulk if you opt for the larger of the batteries. [Read more…]

Dell have managed to create a Google Chrome OS image for booting a Dell Mini 10 from USB in to the new operating system. Before reading on for the details, note that this was just created recently, hasn’t had much testing and is unsupported by Dell.

The new operating system hasn’t been officially launched yet, but already has a number of people going through the source code to create versions that run virtualised on VMWare and other software along with a USB install over at Engadget just last week.

The version from Dell can be downloaded (8GB memory stick needed) and does function with Wi-Fi or wired connections. A couple of problems with this version is that wireless takes from 5 – 10 minutes to actually start working, although it does work. [Read more…]

Information has been found about the Dell Streak (previously called the Dell Mini 5). Although it has been called the Dell Streak, this could also be just an internal name given by Dell prior to launch.

The Streak has a 5 inch screen that has a WVGA resolution capable of displaying 800 x 480 pixels. A 5 megapixel camera with autofocus and a flash is also included along with a front facing camera allowing for video calls over Skype for example.
