It looks like Dell will be the first one to come packed with the new Intel Atom N450. This updated model of the popular netbook line from Dell is back with a better design and a longer lasting battery life. Some of the most inspired concept that you can now see on the new Mini 10 includes high definition entertainment bundles like its ability to playback HD videos.
This 10.1-inch laptop has a textured, smudge-resistant palm rest and sculpted keys. Its battery can last up to 9.5 hours (one of the first I heard from a netbook manufacturer), and you can personalize your netbook with a wide range of colors and artwork designs from Dell itself.
Here are the complete specifications of the Dell Inspiron Mini 10:
New Intel Atom N450 processor at 1.66 GHz
10.1-inch display with standard (1024×600) or High Definition (1366×768) display available in coming weeks
Built-in speakers with available SRS Surround sound
HDTV tuner and location-aware GPS configurations available in coming weeks
Bundles with Broadcom Crystal HD for smooth HD playback coming in Q1
Built-in 802.11 b/g wireless with available Bluetooth and Mobile Broadband
1GB DDR2 memory at 800MHz
160GB or 250GB hard disk drive storage
Choice of 3 or 6-cell integrated battery with up to 9.5 hours of battery life (Inspiron Mini 10 mobility bundle only)
Choice of Windows 7 Starter or Windows XP Home, Ubuntu operating system options
This netbook will start retailing for $299—that depends, of course, on the kind of customization you would require it to have.
