Dell Mini 12 review

Features are

• 12.1in 1,280 x 800 screen
• 1.6GHz Intel Atom Z530 CPU
• 1GB DDR2 RAM
• 80GB hard drive
• Windows Vista Home Basic Edition
• 25.5mm thick, 1.25Kg
• 3-cell 24WHr battery

The use of an Atom CPU with a mere 1GB of RAM to play Windows Vista Home Basic Edition. A Linux system is expected to come later, so it’s not all bad news though.

The Mini 12 costs £429

If considered as a small, low-powered and above all portable notebook, then, the Mini 12 could be a lot more attractive.
