Dell Inspiron Mini 1018 review

A tough and highly usable netbook that's the perfect choice for the kids

Good keyboard ; Build quality ; Storage ; MS Office starter edition

Slightly disappointing battery life ; Touchpad

A solid little machine, but not quite the all-rounder we were hoping for.

Dell Inspiron Mini 10 review

A great screen, but better options exist at this price

Good screen ; Great performance ; Excellent mobility

Battery could be better ; Keyboard a bit harsh

A fantastic addition to Dell's netbook range but not quite as good as some of the others out there. Definitely worth giving it an audition

Dell Inspiron Mini 10 notebook

Dell's Inspiron Mini netbook range has done remarkably well, considering its late entry into the market, although neither the Mini 9 or Mini 12 have proved perfect. The Inspiron Mini 10 is an attempt to change this, taking the best features from both...

Size, outstanding keyboard, great all-round package

Very little, no VGA-port

Overall, the Dell Inspiron Mini 10 is a fantastic package. The keyboard helps to make it one of the most comfortable and practical netbooks available and, unlike rival products from HP, it doesn't cost the earth. Performance may not be earth...

Dell Inspiron Mini 10 review

The Dell Inspiron Mini 10 netbook has been around in various guises for a while, and Dell recently updated the entry-level version of this netbook with a newer Intel Atom N450 processor. The Z530 processor used in this version has several of the...

Dell’s intentions are in the right place with the Inspiron Mini 10, but a netbook with a tiny screen and limited storage isn’t the ideal platform for a TV tuner. This model didn’t win us over for its design, either. If you’re in the market for a 10.1in...

Dell Inspiron Mini 10 review

Dell's Mini netbook has got bigger, but at the same time slimmed down a bit. How does the new design shape up?

A well-built netbook, but lower performance and battery life than its rivals

Dell Inspiron Mini 1018

With the success of the Apple iPad, things have gone a bit quiet on the netbook front recently, but Dell is hoping its Inspiron Mini 1018 will change this. A 10-inch netbook offering lots of features at a bargain basement price, it's perfect for...

It's a small price to pay for such and impressive budget choice, however. With a good keyboard, excellent build quality and features including a 250GB hard drive, the Dell Inspiron Mini 1018 is well worth the asking price. Dell Inspiron Mini 1018 is...

Dell Inspiron Mini 1012 Review

Apparently Dell felt that already having a Mini 10 and Mini 10V wasn't quite confusing enough for customers, so they decided that they needed a ‘New Mini 10′. I don't entirely know why they have this short form when they also create a long form, in...

Dell Mini 10

Dell delivers a rather lazy warming over of its netbook range, so while the processor is new and battery life excellent, everything else, like the song, remains the same.

Minor exterior changes and new Atom chips aside, the 2010 Mini 10 is hard to get too excited about. Gone is the sub-£200 option, gone is the choice of Linux or a robust solid-state drive. In return, the price has gone up and you get nothing more than...
