Today Dell launched their 2nd netbook the Dell Inspiron Mini 12.

It comes with a 12.1” WXGA screen, 1gb Ram, 80gig PATA hard disk and sells for £429 inc VAT and Delivery.

The display is 1280×800 which is great for a 12” display.

It has 3 USB, 10/100 Networking, VGA out, 3 in 1 Media Card reader and wireless/bluetooth etc.

The operating system is Windows Vista Home Basic the 80 gig PATA drive runs at 4200 rpm.

At £100 less this would be a steal and give the other netbooks a run for their money. But I am even debating if this is netbook or just a entry level laptop.

A few of the negatives are: Single Core Cpu, 3 Cell battery, Vista is the operating system, I don’t see any mention of WWAN either and collect and return warranty is your only option.

Some of the peer reviews of this might make for interesting reading.
