PC Pro is reporting that Vodafone (NYSE: VOD) has signed a deal with Dell to sell it’s Mini 9 Laptops with integrated mobile broadband only a day or so after the “netbook” was launched!
The XP-loaded Mini 9 costs £299 and features an 8.9in screen, 1.6GHz Atom processor, 1GB of RAM and 16GB solid state drive. There’s also integrated Bluetooth, 1.3 megapixel webcam and 802.11b/g wireless. An Ubuntu version is on its way for £269.
Not bad specs, and I’d love to see how the build quality is - some of the earlier “netbooks” from other manufacturers had somewhat less-than-optimal build, but I would bet on the Dell device being rock solid - and £299 is cheap as chips (well, nearly)!
