This netbook is a second-generation unit, following on the heels of the HP Mini 1000 released in 2008. The HP Mini 110 that I’m looking at features a 1.6 Ghz Atom N270 processor, 1 GB of DDR2 RAM (upgradeable to 2 GB), a 160 GB 5400 RPM hard drive, integrated 802.11b/g WiFI, and a 10.1 inch LED Anti-glare (matte) 16:9 aspect-ratio widescreen at 1024 x 576 resolution, driven by an Intel GMA950 graphics processor. There’s a webcam of unknown resolution (likely VGA), and the finish is “Black Swirl”. “White Swirl” and “Pink Swirl” are also available. There is no CD/DVD drive, and the version I’m looking at has a 3 cell battery. Please subscribe, rate, and comment. Thanks!

www.digitalhomethoughts.com This is an in-depth review video of the Dell Inspiron Mini 10. As configured from Dell Canada, it cost me $559 CAD in March 2009. This Mini 10 is cherry red in colour, uses the Intel Atom Z530 (1.6 Ghz) CPU, has 1 GB of DDR2 RAM, uses Windows XP Home SP3, has a 10.1 inch 16 aspect ratio screen (1024 x 576 resolution), a 160 GB 5400 RPM 2.5 inch hard drive, a 1.3 megapixel Webcam, a 802.11g WiFi card, and is powered by a 3-cell 24 WHr battery. UPDATE: I did some more video tests using Quicktime and Windows Media Player, and while playback was fine (no obvious glitches like with VLC), the quality of the playback wasn’t great – the GPU really sucks at scaling video, and artifacts popped up constantly.
