I got to compare Dell Inspiron Mini 1012 up against netbooks from ASUS, Acer, Samsung, Sony, Toshiba and Gateway (a pretty exhaustive line-up). There was a sharp contrast between Dell’s Mini 10 series and netbooks made by the other companies. To me, the buying decision really came down to comfort and ingenuity of its design. I find others choosing this model mostly for the same reasons.
Pros:
* Keyboard design – 92% full-size!
* Touch pad design – genius usability features
* Wrist rest – comfortable, remains clean/streak-free
* 3 USB ports – 2-left/1-right is dandy for using a USB mouse
* Windows 7 – Vista isn’t optimized for netbooks
* 9:16 ratio display – great for movies (see above for DVD solution)
* Keyboard + Touch pad design – seriously! It hits the mark spot-on!
