Reviews

“The Inspiron Mini 10 puts Dell into the 10-inch netbook race, but other netbooks provide better bang for your buck. While its compact form, nearly full-size keyboard, and glossy screen all create a nice-looking package, its finicky touchpad holds it back.” (LaptopMag, 2009)

“It features some slight improvements over the Dell Inspiron Mini 12 but essentially is just the Inspiron ini 12 enclosed in a smaller casing with a 10.1 inch display. The design, look, build and all external features are almost the same as that of the Inspiron Mini 12. The hardware specs are also almost the same as the Mini 12, Dell should have added atleast some better hardware or atleast some substantial improvement.” (DigitGeek, 2009)

“Although it’s barely six months old, Dell’s netbook effort has been advancing to where it’s already on its third new design in the form of the Inspiron Mini 10. These early experiences have given Dell an opportunity to improve not only on what it did before but also weaknesses inherent to netbooks at large. (Electronista, 2009)
