MSDN subscriber. Should I just buy the Linux version to save and then load from there? Andrew Robinson. Scott what's the heat output on this like? All the dell laptops I've ever used have been somewhere in the neighborhood of "You can make nice brown toast with them and almost fry an egg" hot. I've even used a cooling pan with dual fans for certain ones and still find them warmer than I care for. No concern that it has a 9" screen vs.
I was thinking of getting one for work. I've got the Lenova T61p, and it sits at home. I don't carry my laptop to work at all. I use my desktop for everything, but Outlook and Windows search suck up more resources than I'd like.
So I was thinking that one of this Mini's would be good for e-mail, word, etc. Have you tried that? I'm not sure why Scott is such a big fan of the Mini because there are much better netbook choices out there. The main problems with the Mini are: 1. Keyboard lacks function keys 2. Unusual keyboard layout the apostrophe is out of place, etc 3. Cannot use standard 2. It also makes upgrading really tough. Jeff Atwood. I thought that ready boost is best when you have 2xInstalled RAM configured.
Or am I wrong on that assumption? Helpful review Scott, it might be the last push I needed towards buying a netbook myself. I'm just a little concerned about the finite reads and writes nature of the SSD. I've had flash memories gone bad in the past, is this something to worry about on SSD's?
One last thing. According to this guy you really should defrag your SSD. Hi Scott, Any links to the user groups you'll be presenting to in SA? Thanks, Matt. Scott Hanselman. I just ordered one from Dell. This positive review makes me even more comfortable with my choice. Thanks As of a few days ago, both Dell. Mohammad Mahdi Ramezanpour. Can you comment on that at all? Have you found it annoying switching between that and a regular keyboard or do you get used to it? I was really interested in the Mini 9 because it's a great looking little system and reasonably priced, until I saw the system I must admit, it's tempting to get one for CodeMash David Edmiston.
Thank you for the review. I just ordered one of these for my nontechnical spouse. She's been tough on laptops in the past, so I'm hoping some variety of smaller, lighter, and fewer moving parts will be a good thing. John Mo. I was thinking about getting one of these as an ebook reader.
Compared to a Kindle or a Sony eBook reader, this is a steal. With the added plus that I can code on it, why think twice? Scott, Great to see you picked one of these up. I was the guy in the front row of your great PDC talk that was using one. Quick question, are you using the version of Windows 7 that was released at PDC?
Or do you have a newer build. If it is the same, can you explain the drivers you used? When I installed that version to the mini, it would freeze a minute after boot-up.
Regards, John. John Deary. December 05, JP Hamiltion - I am thinking of the exact same thing! I want to take a lot of pdfs and e-books with me on the bus but the phone is way too small, and a full laptop just seems way too big. I like the fact that I can fit this machine in a shoulder bag. Is that sufficient space? What is your space usage breakdown eg: apps, os, multimedia, etc Scott Muc. December 06, This or the Samsung. Love it. I'm actually quite shocked, as performance-wise, it's much better than I anticipated.
In fact, it's better than the laptop I used as my main development machine not that long ago. Pros: - The screen is massively bright. Really really bright.
Not as good as a Mac, but still good two finger scroll, three finger right-click. Even more under less usage. Cons - It's a 10" screen. Big upside with battery life, size, and price because of it, but would be nice to get x out of a slightly larger screen it instead of just x Although at least they're in the right position compared to a lot of netbooks - XP Home Apparently Vista runs half decently December 07, The keyboard takes a bit of getting used to, yes, but writing a bit of email, doing some light blogging and working on small documents is all the typing I'll be doing on this machine, so it's okay.
The more you use it, the more you get used to it. The battery life is excellent, the graphics are good, and the speed is good enough. Video is crisp and stable, sound is fine for watching videos. I also bought the bag that has a pouch in it where you can store the small charger.
Contrary to what I had hard, there is no heat at all. The computer opens easily and the hardware is stable. We have a very fast and powerful notebook I like to use in different rooms of our house when I am away from the desktop, and also to take on trips. But the Mini 9 is something I can just throw on my shoulder and take to a coffee shop, my office, or to one of the other facilities where I often work.
