It is good.. Too slow for me but..
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
I got this device as a gift for my father. I have been testing it for 1 month and is a good machine. The tracking mouse is a little tricky and delay the mouse action. The performance is slow (well, having 1 GB ram) but, when I compared with my old ThinkPad T43 having 1 GB ram also, this netbook is slower.
Nice features with the TV turner and integrated camera and HDMI output.
good purchase!!!

Wonderful Investment! Whats With The Bad Reviews?
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R7TZ4E87OUMM0 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, clicking on hyperlinks, typing a document on word, etc to be a horrendous experience.
I seriously do not understand the negative reviews & i dont understand why everyone is having so many technical issues. I am having none at all and i had Microsoft Word installed by myself when i got the netbook, so i just don’t get it!
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
I would never buy a Dell again

The netbook was delivered from Dell last Friday afternoon by Sunday morning it was not working correctly, it would freeze up while trying to start. I had a chat with technical support I was told this is a windows problem happens with all computers because we were with in the 21 days return policy they would ship me a replacement. I would have the replacement on Wed. or Thursday, when the netbook didn’t come I contacted Dell again via chat using the code I was given. I was told that I was never told the netbook would be delivered by Wed or Thurs, when I copied the section from the chat the technician then stated that is the normal replacement delivery time. I suggested maybe he should have told me that. Then I was told that he did his part this was a problem with the shippers and it has been shipped but he can’t give me a Fedex tracking number but will have someone call me when they have it…over 24 hours later still no phone call. I am returning this netbook and getting an HP, if Dell had not outsourced it’s technical support and customer service then maybe we could solve this problem. But now apparently the windows problem can be fixed if I will only discuss it with their wireless technical support…
