Dell Inspiron Mini 12 notebook which was previously launched in Japan and America has now reached India.
At 1.24kg and only 0.92 inches thick, it is said to be an ideal companion for consumers who need to access the web, blog, video chat and send e-mails while on the run.
The Dell Inspiron 12 is powered by a 1.6GHz Intel Atom Z530 processor and includes a 12.1-inch WXGA display, 533MHz FSB, Intel US15W chipset, 1GB DDR2 533MHz, 80 GB HDD, 1.3 megapixel webcam, Wi-Fi (802.11b/g) and Bluetooth.
The small and lightweight notebook supports both Windows XP and Vista operating systems.
“The Mini 12 is designed specifically for mobile, hi-def lifestyles,” stated Girish Mehta, Director of Consumer Marketing, Dell India. “With its slim lightweight design and 12″ widescreen display, the Mini 12 is the ideal on-the-go Internet companion for today’s mobile generation.”
It works on 3-cell battery or 6-cell battery to offer about 3 hours or 6.5 hours of battery life, respectively.
It also sports Dell’s custom interface with intuitive icons that enables users to access a variety of similar applications with ease.
The Dell Inspiron Mini 12 carries a retail price of Rs. 31,000.
Well, Since MSI wind, Asus, etc are already there in the market with almost same configuration and with less price, I guess Dell should reduce price a bit 😉
Lenovo s10 with a similar spec ( infact higher HDD ) is available around 25K. Whats’ Dell’s deal…?
But all other companies that are currently manufacturing netbooks, none of them offer 12.1″ screen size, they all offer either 8.9″ or 10.2″. I think DELL has struck the right chord with 12.1″ screen size.
But this machine retails at price which is even more than DELL Vostro A840 which is a 14.1″ laptop. I think if DELL can reduce it price to levels of 24K-25K for Mini 12 this can become a bestseller….
is it true that its not providing DVD drive and writer ???? how to confirm that ???
