Dell Mini 12 netbook starts at $549 with no option to upgrade RAM and Vista Home Basic as the only OS
CrunchGear — Aw, man. Good news, bad news. The good news is that the Dell Mini 12 is now available. The bad news is that it starts at $549, the one gigabyte of RAM isn’t upgradeable, and your only choice for an operating system is Vista Home Basic. There are three models available for $549, $599, and $678, respectively. The lowest-end has a 1.33GHz Atom CPU, 40GB hard drive, and a three cell battery. The other two have 1.6GHz processors, six cell batteries, and 60GB or 80GB hard drives. Other than that, the normally-fun process of customizing your Dell machine isn’t too involved. I’ll go on record and say that the non-upgradeable one gigabyte of RAM ...

Dell Inspiron Mini 12 available in U.S., starts at $549
jkOnTheRun — I didn't expect to see the Dell Insipiron Mini 12 in the U.S. so soon, but of course, the holidays are a-coming. Electronista says that you can order the new small notebook from Dell and sure enough, the product order is page is live. Although we originally heard that only a 24 W/hr 3-cell battery would be available, I see that two of the three models come with a 48 W/hr 6-cell battery. Based on the APC review with the 3-cell, I suspect that 5.5-hours of real-world time can be had with the 6-cell unit. Here's the breakdown of models and pricing; note that all models are the same externally with the 12.1-inch, 1280x800 display and all come with Windows ...
