DELL INSPIRON MINI 10 GETS PINE TRAIL CHIPS


Dell has introduced an update to its Inspiron Mini 10 series of netbooks. Currently the Inspiron Mini 10 has an Atom Z520 processor and the Mini 10v has an Atom N270 processor. The updated notebooks will have an Intel Atom N450 processor instead. The new models are expected to be available in the first week of January. Prices will start at $299.

The netbooks will ship with Windows 7 Starter or Windows XP home. Ubuntu 9.04 Linux will also be available in future. The chassis has undergone a minor makeover. The palm wrest area now features a textured finish. The touchpad on the new models still features the integrated mouse buttons but it will no longer support multi-touch gestures.

Both 3-cell and 6-cell battery options are available, but Dell said that most models will ship with 6 cell batteries. The netbooks measure just 1.3 inches in thickness.
