Dell Inspiron Mini 1010 IM10v-USE032AM 10.1-Inch Red Netbook Review
I just purchased my Dell Mini 10 (Blue Cover) and I have to say that this was one of the best investments I ever made. If you think you are getting a high end laptop for the price of three-hundred bucks, then you are sorely mistaken. This is basically a smart phone PDA increased to the size of a ten inch screen with a keyboard attached. Most of the bells & whistles are intact.
At first it took me some time to get use to the screen. Websites are slightly altered due to the 10 inch screen, so and with the tool bar on top that includes (File, Refresh, etc) it can seem like there’s hardly any room to view webpage’s, but you’ll get use to it. Viewing any site that you would on a regular desktop will have certain parts of the page moved around when viewing it on your netbook & this is to be expected because of the size.
I know everyone is complaining about the keypad, but it’s really not that bad. It does take a few tries before you realized what works best for you. I’ve learned from having a Dell Studio Laptop that the best thing to do is just utilize the free space as a mouse and click. Don’t bother trying to hit down on the key, but just double tap on the keypad to pick a selection. If you don’t, you will find the experience of navigating through websites, typing a document on word, etc to be a horrendous experience.
Otherwise, if you are looking for a great small compact netbook to stay connected to the web, check email, browse a few sites - then this is the netbook for you. There isn’t much customization due to the small size of the netbook that feels very light just a little under three pounds and practically smaller and skinnier then the new Twilight book. I would have it ordered it on amazon, but it was cheaper through Dell.
Overall, I am very pleased with my purchase because it’s a great investment for anyone who needs internet access on the go. The only complaint I have is the price. I know its three-hundred, but I own a regular laptop with a 15 inch screen & that HP was only three-hundred. Sure, it was not a high end groundbreaking laptop, but it does the trick & power wise, it’s stronger than the mini. I really feel the price point should drop by hundred bucks. Otherwise, this is still a great PC tool to have.
Pros:
Light weight (Less then three pounds)
Customizable Cover with different colors
Windows XP (Thank GOD - Vista is so WHACK)
Keyboard is 90% size of a real keyboard
Wi-Fi
3 USB slots
160GB Memory
1.66 GHZ
1GB RAM
Cons:
A bit pricey IMO - It really should be two hundred & under
No DVD Slot
- Intel Atom Z530 (1.6GHz/533MHz FSB/512K Cache)
- 6-Cell Lithium Ion Battery (48 WHr)
- The new TV - Watch your favorite TV shows with the internal digital TV tuner
- Be productive with a keyboard 92% the size of a traditional laptop keyboard.
- Built-in 1.3MP webcam, Windows XP Home Edition SP3

| Review by L. Santos (USA) 2010-07-22 I bought a Toshiba laptop and to my surprise the touchpad did not work properly from day one. After hours on the phone explaining the problem and doing a thousand procedures I had to ship it to Toshiba. The problem is that they lost my computer and they don't do anything to solve the problem. I have called them more than 30 times already and they h... Read more reviews | ||

| Review by Michelle Lewis (Atlanta, GA) 2010-06-02 Ok, Here is the long and the short. I got it and it did not work. I gave two stars because it came early in the mail. It has never worked. Then I had to call tech services and had to stay on the phone with them for hours to figure out that the thing was broken and needed to be sent back. I could have told them that from the beginning. I was conside... Read more reviews | ||

| Review by Shelley Batts (Ann Arbor, MI USA) 2010-07-28 The "millenial" generation of women has grown up knowing they can have it all, and this netbook seems like a direct product of a savvy female up in the ranks of HP. The quality of this netbook is top notch. It has all the bells and whistles that one can expect with a micro computer, and lots of surprises. Unless you are running Photoshop or somethi...

| Review by Antonio Quinonez-munoz (Woodinville, WA USA) 2010-07-15 Obviously not for high-end gaming. I use my writing and surfing the Internet and Twitter. The keyboard is excellent, the start-up is a little 'slow, but waking up from sleep mode does the trick when using very fast. The biggest problem is that the transition from the power of wireless is, but this can also typical for notebooks... Read more reviews | ||
