Dell Inspiron Towers Are Like Skittles: Cheap, Tiny and Rainbow-y
3:38AM Matt Buchanan | Dell’s Inspiron towers are what cheap computers should be—uh, cheap, customisable and colourful. They start at $US300, but are oddly stopping over in China first before coming to the US “this spring.” More »

Windows 7 Runs So Much Better Than Vista On a Netbook
4:50AM Mark Wilson | I’ve tested Vista on two netbooks, and it’s never been good (not counting the Vaio P). In fact, Vista has been unusable in both circumstances. Then I loaded Windows 7 onto the Mini 12. More »

Dell Inspiron Mini 12 Officially the Biggest Netbook on the Block
10:56AM Matt Buchanan | A truly bizarre day to announce a new notebook, Dell’s Inspiron Mini 12 is officially the most gargantuan netbook on the block. I wasn’t exactly blown away by it when I scoped it briefly a couple months ago, but Laptop was sufficiently impressed in its more in-depth hands on to compare it to the MacBook Air and Voodoo Envy—but you know, 5mm thicker, more ports and you know, a thousand dollars cheaper at only $US599. AU: The Aussie dollar strikes again – Locally we’re looking at $999. And if you want to know how it really handles, David Flynn (the netbook maestro) got his hands on it for an exclusive review over at APC Mag. More »

Dell Inspiron Mini 9, Now Running OS X Leopard
7:40AM Mark Wilson | The first time a mini-notebook is loaded with OS X, like any right of passage, it’s a major event. And now the Inspiron Mini 9 has become a man, or at least an honorary Apple fanboy. Loaded with a slipstreamed version of OSX in a manner similar to the MSI Wind, the wireless card, Ethernet and sound didn’t work initially but were fixed after the download of a few additional files.

Dell Preloading Select Computers with Iron Man
4:31AM Mark Wilson | We love Iron Man and really have nothing bad to say about the guy. But we were surprised to hear that customers who are personalising their Dell’s Inspiron, Studio or XPS will have the options to bump up the RAM, upgrade the video card and then preload Iron Man (in standard definition) with some extras for $US20.
