Now that I have the Asus EeePC 1000HE, I obviously don’t need the Dell Mini 9. It’s rather sad, really – I completely enjoyed the Dell Mini 9. However, the 1000HE is a bit faster, and offers a much improved battery life and keyboard experience.
As such, I’ve put the Dell Mini 9 on Craigslist, so that I hopefully don’t have to resort to Ebay again. Asking price is $300, and that includes shipping, in case you don’t live locally. Here’s the specs:
Dell Mini 9
8.9″ display
Intel N270 Atom processor @ 1.6GHz
2GB of RAM
16GB SSD (solid state drive)
WiFi
Built-in Bluetooth
I’ve got the original box, as well as the power cord and a zippered neoprene case to throw in. It is currently running Windows 7 RC1, fully activated, with all the drivers and whatnot installed. The Dell Mini is usually regarded as the best OSX hackintosh netbook, if you’re a Mac person (James Burland, I’m looking at you!) I previously installed OSX on here, and it ran fine (though I personally didn’t care for it).
It currently has a camo skin from DecalGirl.com on there, though it’s vinyl, and comes right off with zero residue. I can remove this before shipping, if you’d like. There’s a white Dell cover underneath. Also, there is a SMALL scratch on the bezel around the screen, though it’s hardly noticeable. Here’s the craigslist listing, or you can contact me directly at Ricky(at)RickyCadden(dot)com.

These netbooks are quite addictive aren’t they?! I would buy your Dell, but all your Tweets about installing Mac OS X on it a couple of months back convinced me to purchase an Acer Aspire One.
I currently have it split 80/30gb OS X and Windows 7. Both systems run well on the little beast but Win 7 does include – not surprising – more support. The other addition I made was a much larger battery. I now get around 6-7 hours with full brightness in Windows 7.
