| I'm not sure about the mini ones. The one's that I've seen have barely any hard drive space and doesn't even have a CD drive so you can't load software on it. The only thing you can do is be on the internet and if you need to save anything, you need to have an external hard drive. I would just make sure this mini isn't like the ones that I've seen before you purchase it.

| Aviod the Dell. Quote:
By the time you get the standard features. It's almost $500. you might as well buy a full size. I use Asus Eee 900a or 1000, they got alot of really good features included comes in Linux or XP. and wireless is included. Which is what always got me with Dell. you pay for wireless. Ebay's got some steals right now. ty | |

| Before I bought my current laptop, I had thought about getting one. They are just too cute! I agree with above though, the ones that I have looked at haven't had much of a hard drive.

| Well if that's all you want to use it for then I'd say it would be alright!

| I have the Dell Net book. Its great for surfing the web and playing games online. Doesn't have alot of memory. I do take it with me to class everyday. You can't write any long papers on it but usually the people i know have a desktop for that kind of stuff. I also take it with me on trips and the BEST part it fits in my purse.

| They are so cute! I thought about getting one too but decided against it in the end as I think I would have gotten tired of working on a small keyboard and look at a smaller screen. I think it'd be great as a second laptop though.

| I hate how small they are, I'm 20 with great eye sight and I feel like I would need a huge magnifying glass just to get on one. I don't understand what the other person was saying about wireless though, completely confused me. I have a Dell laptop and LOVE it. I've had it for years and have dropped it, Lilly's walked all over it, it's been through hell and it still works absolutely wonderful! I also love Dells because they still set their computers up so you get the CDs to reformat which I think is very handy to have. Not to mention, their customer service is WONDERFUL!

Donating Senior Yorkie Talker | I know my 9yr old neice got one for Christmas. She wanted something to do at clinic while getting her chemo. Her's was purchased at Sams. Now I know she only uses it to chat and go on sites like maltese talk,play games. I've seen them at Radio Shack and they have a $99.00 one ,but you sign up for a 2 year contract and get a USB Port and pay a monthly fee. My 14 year old wants one,she loves the small size and that it's so light weight. I personally find them too small.
