A few weeks ago we ran some rumored specs of Dell's answer to the Eee, the Dell Inspiron 910 (aka Mini Inspiron and Inspiron Mini). Now we've gotten our hands on the full (internal) 910 web documentation. Along with scoping shots from every angle, we've learned that the 910 will support SSDs up to 16GB and has what looks to be very moddable internals (large Phillips-head screws hold that SSD in place). The system will go on sale in just a few days-August 22nd our source says-but we still don't know whether or not that $299 starting price is just a myth.

Now for that little matter of pricing...
DISCUSSION
I want to be able to run full-blown Ubuntu 8.04, and have room to install more programs, and keep a few MP3's.... I thought 4gb would be enough, but after a quick look at the Ubuntu requirements, it appears an upgrade to an 8gb ssd might be in order...
Ubuntu is available for PC, 64-Bit PC and Intel based Mac architectures. At least 256 MB of RAM is required to run the alternate install CD (384MB of RAM is required to use the live CD based installer). Install requires at least 4 GB of disk space.
The price had better be $299 or, like a lot of people, I'll just sit on the fence and wait...
