Dell has simplified matters, redubbing the formerly Inspiron 910 to the Inspiron Mini 9,. The basic Obsidian Black configuration begins at $349. It will run on Ubuntu and will have no camera or Bluetooth. Of course, since it’s a Dell, you can configure the Mini 9 to run XP and include Bluetooth 2.1 and a 1.3 MP webcam, not to mention higher RAM or color it Alpine White for an extra $25. The 1.6GHz Intel Atom N270 processor, the 8.9-inch 1024 X 600 LED screen and 802.11gWiFi is the same in all configurations. The Dell Inspiron Mini 9 system has disappointed quite a few observers with its less than stellar keyboard and a price range that is significantly more expensive than a similarly speced Aspire One.
