    So cool.
    Last I checked Dell is still offering the Mini 9 into day 6.

    The thing rocks, and with two the odds are I'll keep one on the road for a good long time.

    As far as ease of install goes - stay away from the HP mini 1000. Go for the MSI u120 or Dell Mini 9. On the Dell, and I can't stress this enough, the HD needs to be bigger than 8GB!

    @Digital9: U120 RAM cannot be upgraded past the built-in 1GB. Get the U123 or U100 Plus instead.

    That HP Mini listed on Best Buy is the 8.9" version with the bezel around the screen. The 10.2" version is much nicer looking as it has the edge-to-edge "glass" though that also makes it a little too glossy.

    That's what I have, and I have to say that I am perfectly content running Windows 7 on it. I'm not a serious mac-head though.

    I'm pretty sure that the Dell Mini 9 and the Vostro A90 are the same exact netbook. The Vostro is still being sold through Dell's small business site.

    @TheSonOfKrypton: Half the fun is playing around with the thing and saying "look what I did." And I don't know, maybe the fact that it costs about $1700 less is a PRRREEEEETTTTYYYY big reason not to just go and get a Macbook Pro.

    @Maori_Yelir: Ah welcome back, Captain Prick. Don't be upset with everyone whom purchases a Mac. if you found a decent way to make money, you'd be able to afford one as well. It isn't rocket science. Let me do you a favor and nab you a job for Foxconn. Then we can dispose of you correctly.

    @imTheKing: As has been said, I own a white Macbook (Granted it doesn't get used), it's not about Apple hate it's the fact that your comments are so dripping with unneeded fanboy-ism it doesn't add to the conversation. It just says "LOOK AT ME I'M TRYING TO BE HIP" and it's annoying to see every single one of your posts add nothing.

    @Maori_Yelir: Yeah its much better seeing someone like you running around talking about how over priced things are and how you can't afford them so other people should be cheap too. Sorry, I'll add that to the disclaimer next time.

    @Maori_Yelir: you really feel the need to justify your broke ass don't you? There's no difference in what you post. Read through your comments. It's always the same shit about "hey, i could get this cheaper like this". Thats great and all, but not all of us want cheap ass computers.
