Dell Inspiron Mini 12 Review

Overview: The Dell Inspiron 12 is the new entry into the ultraportable laptop segment from Dell, Inc. Weighing in under 3 pounds and less than 2 inches thick, the Inspiron 12 will do more than keep you connected on the go. The Dell website provides buyers with somef upgrade options to maximize the potential of the mini 12. The hard drive can be ugraded to a beefy 80 GB, and there are now several color options to choose from. Overall if the mini 9 is just too small, the next step up would be the mini 12. Wireless acess, multimedia functionality, the TruLife 12.1 inch display, all come together harmoniously to provide laptop buyers a reliable robust laptop with a lil bit o- style. The Dell Inspiron Mini 12 will also make a great gift idea for family or friend. The base mini 12 model starts at $549 with the 40GB Hard Drive, of course upgrade options will increase the final price tag.
