Might come out later this year

Dell had introduced Dell Inspiron Mini 12 in India followed by their 10-inch Mini 10 and the first netbook Mini 9. The Dell Mini 12 costs around Rs. 30,000 in India. As per Netbooknews.de, new slides from Dell show different Mini 10 models and also a Mini 11 netbook that will join the Inspiron Mini line-up.

As per the available slides, different versions of Mini 10 will be rolled out in May. A Mini 1010v (Bear) with a 10-inch display, 1.6GHz Intel Atom N270 CPU with 2.5 W TDP, and 120GB/160GB HDD or SSD options at a price of $299 (Rs. 15,000 approx.).

The new Mini 1110 dubbed as Argos will be slotted in the very thin and light category and will have a 11.6-inch HD display. Packing 2GB memory for running Windows Vista and a 250GB HDD, the Mini 11 prices will start from $499 (Rs. 25,000 approx.). This 11-inch Mini 11 version is expected to come out later this year.

In terms of pricing, the Mini 11 would ideally be priced between Mini 10 and Mini 12. In terms of hardware, we can expect the freshly launched 1.66GHz Intel Atom N280 processor with a TDP of 2 watts. This processor is paired with the new Intel GN40 chipset that offers Intel GMA X4500HD graphics capable of encoding 720p HD movies.

Hi I enjoyed your article thanks! I really like the Dell Mini series machines, they are reliable, solid and run multiple programs with ease! They are available at great prices, however I managed to get a refurbished Mini 9 from Europc and saved more money! I would highly recommend the Mini 9 Netbooks! Thank you James
