Don’t know about you, but I love netbooks and Dell Inspiron Mini 9 is my personal favorite. It has a solid battery (4 cells) and could be ordered with Ubuntu — yes I want Linux on my netbook as I needed it almost solely for writing. However, what I don’t like about Linux is a lack of drivers for 3G cards and that may be the only reason why I’m willing to jump to Windows XP-powered netbook.
Anyway, while I’m on the subject of netbooks and Dell Mini 9, I’m glad to report that now you can grab it [Dell's netbook] along with AT&T (NYSE: T) 3G. The embedded WWAN solution adds a 7.2 MBps HSPA modem and could make you free as a bird for additional $125. Scrap that, actually when you sign up for a new two year AT&T DataConnect Service plan through www.dell.com/att you get a $120 mail-in rebate, making the 3G-enabled Dell Mini 9 cost only $5 more. You’ll still have to pay for the monthly data usage, but that’s what you want, right?
