Terrific Netbook

By Westley (Stuck in my head)

This review is from: Dell Inspiron Mini 10

Note I use for my work computer, but not much attention on details about them. I am sometimes deliberately ignorant of the details of my work computers, so this review (for better or worse) will not differ a great emphasis on its technical specifications and details. I wanted to use a simple computer outside of work, and that is what I have here. I got this Dell netbook a few days ago and wanted to share my first impressions of it.

I know a lot of writing for my job and need to have frequent e-mail access. I witnessed a Dell notebook but that it is a bit of trouble drawing it to somewhere, it must ultimately be home most of the time. When I saw this, Dell Netbook on sale, I thought it would be ideal for my needs. In particular, I wanted something very light, that I would allow web access to answer e-mail, to access PDF documents and edit documents. The Dell has all this and more.

My job buy all my computers (the last computer I bought myself was a Commodore 64 when I was a child), I was a bit nervous buying. I checked out reviews here and elsewhere, and they seemed to indicate that there would be the Dell Netbook good for my needs. However, I was concerned about some accounts of the Netbooks slower than other laptops, and with many gaps. Fortunately, my concerns were unfounded (it isn `t slow and I have a low need for extensive computer memory have anyway). I had never seen a computer before unpacking (IT people to have in my job, that honor), but it could not have been easier. I was literally on my new netbook in minutes. Everything was pre-installed and operational.

I had hoped that occur with Microsoft Word, but instead includes Microsoft Works Word Processor, which I `d never before. If I wanted to open a Word document from my e-mail, I was prompted to download Word Viewer. The two programs are compatible, but it is a bit awkward to convert documents back and forth. Otherwise I am very happy with my purchase. The netbook is not accessing the network with many programs open at the same time slow down. It is super light - not much bigger or heavier than a large hardback book. The battery in the back sticks a bit, although it actually helps make it stable on a flat surface. Even straight from the box, the battery was well over 5 hours. Other features include a webcam, Adobe Media Player, Explorer - all the standard elements you would expect. As I mentioned, I can not attention on computer specifications and whether it has this feature or not. I'm just not my computers for everything too complicated. But for what I need, the Dell netbook more than exceeds my expectations. The netbook is portability is it ideal for carrying around and travel. I think it would be a great starter computer for kids and teens.
