Just got finished completing a Dell Mini for a friend, specs are 16 gig drive (Kingston), 512 megs of ram (will change when mail man gets here with 2 gig upgrade today), Windows 7 starter edition. I striped down some of it's components using RT 7 lite. Currently running with AVG and Firefox installed consumes 6.8 gigs of space with antivirus and browser, over 8 gig remaining. This thing is REALLY gonna fly once the 2 gig sticks get here.
It runs older games such as GTA 3, Vice City, San Andreas, Max Payne, Mafia & a others. Presently running with no CD cheats on extenal hard drive but shall be loading them all up onto my 64GB flash driver once I get it. I also have a program that has (so advertised but haven't counted myself) 20,000 games(mostly older basic games such as knock off spy vs spy, space invaders, pong, etc.) The Dell mini 9 plays back DVD movies great though I use Logitech USB speakers (included speakers are so so).
My Dell Mini 9 has a 32GB SSD, 2GB memory, blutooth, & Windows 7 32bit Home Premium, boots in 30 seconds & runs really smooth with no hang ups or lags. The good thing about Windows 7 is you only need to install the operating system & it loads up all the drivers automatically so need to go searching for drivers. I just ordered a 64GB Corsair XT Rage flash drive to extend my storage capacity & have a portable USB DVD-R/RW drive. May upgrade the WiFi card but the one it comes with is OK.
I've had Windows 7 (Beta than RC) on my Dell Mini 9 since around February when I first got it. I installed 2GB of RAM and W7 within the first hour after I opened the box.
well im just saying get a mac or a regular HP or dell laptop . not a mini my friend got one and said hers sucks cuz it doesnt have enought memory lol. but i dont have anything against them. they just have the memory of an ipod,
no offense or anything but that took a whileeee.............. ppl should just get a mac not a dell even tho dell can download more stuff. mac is much faster and more memory i have the imac and i love it
no offense how could a full fledged osx install run faster on an atom than a core 2 duo ... but i get what ur saying i have a mac and a hackintosh (desktop) also the mini.. if i had to let one go it would be the mini tho
what's the advantage with windows 7 over xp on a netbook?? Isnt windows 7 more cpu driving? Really what can u do more with windows 7 or even Leopard OS on a mini 9 over xp??
windows 7 will be better than vista. Less requiered resources, faster, more optimezed, less requiered RAM. Some claims it will performs better than XP even on older computers. Personally I haven't tested yet, I am waiting until october to the final release. But I have read a lot about it, and looks very promissory.
I installed Windows 7 (64 Bit) on my new laptop. Dell replaced the hard drive in the Dell Mini 9, no problems. Great service from Dell. So far no bugs, runs smooth. The only issue I have once in a while is, that is wont shut down, it gets stuck on the logging off screen. Thats about it. Love Windows 7.
you can install windows 7 on and computer but i would not recomind it because it is full of bugs! You vista or xp and use a windows 7 theme! Hope that helps!
