Customer Ratings & Reviews

I use my netbook primarily for novel writing. I love the portability- no laptop to drag around anymore. I can take it just about anywhere and have HOURS of typing without having to find a wall plug. I found if you set it on the best level of energy conservation that you can get over 10 hours of battery life in just one charge. It's alarmingly light, but no complaints here! You can pick it up with 3 fingers! And I bought a Case Logic "purse" as I call it so I can slide it in and off I go. If I'm going to be gone less than 8 hours, I don't even pack the charge cord. The only dislikes was Windows 7 starter- can't do a darn thing with that. I immediately upgraded to W7 Home Premium and installed Office 2007 on it. And the outer case is shiny and smooth and shows every finger print (no biggie really). I could care less about it being white on the bottom, that wasn't a factor for me. And I can't figure out how to turn off Windows Messenger from the start up menu. Just annoying, that's all. Overall, I love my little toy. And since we have all the other computers at home on W7, I can homegroup and transfer data back and forth between all of them. I was using a thumb drive until I got my laptop on W7. This was a excellent early birthday present from my hubby! Love it!

i needed a computer for class to run quickbooks 2009 pro and that was inexpensive, portable, and from a brand name i could trust. this little dynamo fit the bill perfectly. now i take it to class and run quickbooks, do my homework in the library, surf the web, all in one charge - with some left over. plug in an external monitor and would never guess so much power comes from such a small computer. can't wait to upgrade the memory.

first of all its so convenient to carry around because i'm college student. I did a big mistake earlier buying big laptop which is very heavy. this has a around 8hrs of battery life on one charge. HD display though its small. I wish it ran on some other platform like XP. windows 7 is ok but i think its more appropriate for a powerful computer. i totally recommend it.

I wantedsomething to take with me on the bus to check emails, do some light work etc but did not want a full blown laptop because of the weight and cost. This seemed the ideal way to go. I was right. Slips easily into my backpack and does't add much weight which is good at my age (over 50). I went for the longer battery life and really appreciate that since I can be out and about all day. The only problem I have is sometimes it will suddenly slow way down for no apparent reason. Video will hang up etc. I'm going to upgrade to 2G memory and see if that solves the problem.

I bought this netbook a couple of weeks ago and love it. I am a college student and use it at school all the time. It is so light-weight that it fits perfectly in my backpack. The mouse touchpad and keyboard are easy to use. The battery life is amazing, lasts me all day at school without having to plug it in. Doesn't take too long to charge it back up either.

The Dell mini Notebook is very good for people who travel and need to take their computer with them. You will be able to go through security much faster and can use it while waiting for the plane. It has one of the only batteries that will allow you to use it without having to plug it in so you don't have the battery go dead in the middle of you trying to finish a report and end up having to re-do the entire thing. It would be a good idea to up grade the ram to 2GB for a faster coumputer.

The Dell Inspiron netbook computer is doing exactly what I had hoped it would. It has more than enough processing power for what I looking for it to do, it hooks up just about anywhere and is extremely convenient. The battery life is outstanding, nearly 8 hours consistently. And the value for the price is outstanding. You just can't beat it.

perfect computer for anyone great battery life good no great
