[xmusicQueen96x]

Mine broke out of know where...): fml

[MrUsama1121]

its good but its slow and long

[Callofdutymodder1]

It's a piece of shit I hope Dells main office burns

[aWannaBePilot]

What atom processor is it and what ram is installed??

[aWannaBePilot]

Whats with the judder?

[mkdri1]

i like the lenovo thinkpad x100e better. Do not like the 6-cell that sticks out

the back tho.

[bassabigdeal]

*PLEASE!* help me!!! I somehow had this same exact laptop crash and I have heard of people "flashing" it. Could you please post a tutorial of how to do this? If you cant, maybe a link to a video? Thanks so much fror your time!

[BOS6940]

I got this in black, although this is the Mini 1011, so it came with Windows 7 Starter, fuck that! W7 professional on mine :)

[HeyLookItsASpah]

Yeah, I have the 6-cell battery on my mini 10. It does both shoot out the back, and raise the profile a bit, but wow it gets like 4 days of battery life after that (idle) so it's pretty much worth it.

[gymnastgyrl]

I'm getting this in ice blue!! B sure to check out my channel! Gymnastgyrl

[suparapfan]

This or the mini 210

[aneemal15luvr]

I have this, and I hate it... Says it will run out of power in two hours but half an hour later its dead! Stupid netbook, I regret buying this. Oh, and I have the "6 cell battery" and it sticks out so the thing is always on an angle.

[aneemal15luvr]

I have this, and I hate it... Says it will run out of power in two hours but half an hour later its dead! Stupid laptop, I regret buying this.

[Joshhuuaaaa]

@mint885 How? :O i need more computer power :L!

[MegaSamaRama]

this laptop rocks.... im gonna get one in a little bit

[M1k3ra99]

Waaaa

[Antkay15]

i have this laptop, and i have a question. Along the left side, above the ac power plug in, what is that slit?

[ThoughtsMedia]

@Antkay15 I'd guess it's the Kensington security lock slot, but I don't have this project any longer, so I can't check.

- Jason

[misty7600]

would this run virtual dj pretty good

[YearraeY]

i own this laptop and with W7 and Linux i had 0 problems.

its XP that suffers some kind of problem.

im mainly a linux user anyway so no big deal.

[waheedkhudai]

hey please jason tell me how to download drivers of this notebook for xp ..i am also having the same dell inspiron mini 10 but after having i dint got the drrivers of video controller and others tooo please tell me the direct link please

[LoudCitizen]

Wow, it took over 5 minutes for you to show the screen working...

[ThoughtsMedia]

@VideoDude36 I record the videos with a Canon HF-100. I edit them in currently in Cyberlink's PowerDirector v9 software.

- Jason

[taslinTV]

That is a very nice laptop : ) Love the colour!

I have just recieved the Dell Inspiron 1764.

~Taslin~

[Supreme379]

Does FIFA 11 and PES 11 work on Dell Inspiron Mini 10?

[dutymaster1]

1:47 dont like the nois. :(

[keke0183]

is the battery good on this? I bought a dell studio from walmart and ive only had it for maybe 2 years. Its already saying that I have to replace the battery, and the batteries are crazy expensive. Is this a problem for all dell laptops or just the studio model because I really want to get this laptop

[ThoughtsMedia]

@keke0183 Every battery has a certain number of charge cycles before it starts to lose its capacity to hold power. Some batteries last longer than others, but it eventually happens to all of them. You don't need to buy official Dell batteries though - they're expensive. You can find third party laptop batteries that are 50% less expensive than the Dell-branded ones. Just do a Web search. :-)

- Jason

[helluvaday123]

i got a different version of the dell inspiron mini 10 at christmas and i am very impressed and happy with it. great job dell :)

[RRPxGaming]

i have this laptop with the hi res screen its fricking amazing!

[nikjohn1997]

hey give me a free laptop

i am poor guy plz

[skaterboys1001]

better than ipad !

[JoelB3783]

This is NOT the HD model, the hd has a broadcom crystal HD that can play HD videos, and has a 1366x768 res that is the HD this is just a regular 1012.

[ThoughtsMedia]

@JoelB3783 Apologies for the confusion - I had [HD] in the video title because at the Time (over a year ago), YouTube wasn't indicating which videos were HD, so I put it in the title. I've now deleted it. :-)

- Jason

[TheMentalFlakes]

@ThoughtsMedia I have a Mini 10. It doesn't have an HDMI port. There aer two Usb ports on the left instead of one. My screen isn't flush like yours is. Do I have the Mini 10v? I have the bigger hard drive.

[mohabiraq1]

It's like paying $350 for a Pentium 3

[TheSideWays2000frien]

I'm getting one late next month....

-Austin

[TheMoonsGuitar]

Im getting this for Christmas and I need somebody to tell me how good it is in genral.

[beaulolp]

@TheMoonsGuitar I can relate to you there :) I'm getting a new DD502 electronic drum set with amp and headphones (not that you would care) but that is really expensive. So what i did is bribed my mom basicly, I would give her $200 and she would pay for the rest so I could get this laptop too. Good deal really :)

[imdabestatit16]

its 1 cent haha !

- Brock

[TheMentalFlakes]

It does come with built in Wi-Fi. I don't know where, I got it for Christmas.

[mlbdrumsyahoo]

To much for me, I dont know how many times we discussed the battery. I want to know up front what the actual computer can and cant do. Had to wade through to much back peddling for me and redundant talking. Sorry, Next!

[bringmethehorizon129]

nevermind it wont let me post the url

[bringmethehorizon129]

can someone tell me what dell this is i cant seem to find an exact match



[bochcikov]

@bringmethehorizon129 dell inspiron mini 1012

[nelsoncruz59]

Thanks,... I have a better perseption of it! Mom, will love it!! : )

[diogo8500]

152999 viewer :)

[KimBieber1997]

getting it for christamas(:

[coryvm74]

wtf did u say at 5:39 ???

[ThoughtsMedia]

@coryvm74 "Well isn't that quirky". :-)

- Jason

[TheMentalFlakes]

@ThoughtsMedia I have the 6 cell battery, and the upgraded hard drive, but I do not have the HDMI port, I have the standard one. Do I have the V version?

[PokeFreakOfTheYear]

@ThoughtsMedia everytime i make a comment that ends with something like "-Bob"

It doesnt let me, Lol How do you do that with out the comment being removed

[ThoughtsMedia]

@PokeFreakOfTheYear Maybe it's the space I use after the dash? :-)

- Jason

[MSRbiz]

Great laptop! ;)

[TheMentalFlakes]

This is a nice a nice laptop, I'm writing this from it. This is not a gaming computer, just an internet surfing, email, and flash gaming net book. With Google Chrome, it performs way better than Internet explorer. It does not have a fan, so it gets pretty hot. I bought a laptop cooling pad. Overall, it is a great laptop.

[arir1994]

@TheMentalFlakes is wifi already pre-installed? oh, and did u order it from the website or buy it from a store

[ziggybadoodah]

is the Ethernet cable good for me connecting to XBOX live?

[factory2012]

canit upgrade to 2gb ram?

[febin5]

mate has it got a built in speakers

[micboobadan]

The RAM can be upgraded. instead of 2gigs its 1.5gigs. So buy a 1gig RAM and replace the 512 thats in it now.

[ZoeYou8]

I'm getting the 6 cell White as I said in your other video, thanks for telling me what the difference is!

[munker350]

ahahahahha he said aboot !!! nice review tho!!! 100 % covered the lapop

[ViolinPro88]

I am watching this vid from my Mini 10. Obsidian black. People, dont buy it. I am sickm of it already. Get an iPad or something. or a real computer. just saying.

[SmokinMo11]

I made a mistake,my 1012 has a 6 cell that lasts 4 9hrs.

[SmokinMo11]

mine is a 6 cell & it lasts 6 hrs.I just looked at the date & realised Im lookin at the 2009 model.The 2010 model is soooo much better.moveing on.....

[koreanbeater]

so, free windows xp code?

thanks 720p

just sayin,

of course id never do that...

[zaphraud]

The store where I bought mine only carried the Mini 10 in Obsidian Black. I didn't even know they came in colors.

Have you had problems with the Atom not keeping up with the HD video? That would be my main concern.

[LoadingWorks]

my battery has a 2 hour life, but its now decreased to 45 mins damn!

[erethz]

did you just mentioned that the HDMI port can be used to connect this device to a projector?

[ThoughtsMedia]

@erethz The HDMI port can output video to any device that can accept HDMI input; TV, monitor, projector, etc.

- Jason

[erethz]

@ThoughtsMedia - cool, thanks! Can you suggest sites that offer comparison of different brands? I'm looking into getting a new netbook to replace my 13.3 neo local brand for more portability. Not to mention, i'm into games.... :)

I could not go any further with my research because i can't find any website that offer such service....

BTW, does your MSI netbook has the same HDMI port which can output video to a projector?

[ThoughtsMedia]

@erethz No sites in particular come to mind. I suggest using a search engine and reading reviews of the particular netbooks you're interested in. And no, the MSI Wind I reviewed did not have HDMI out - it had VGA out, which is more common than HDMI out on netbooks.

- Jason

[erethz]

@ThoughtsMedia - i suppose the VGA port can be used to output display to a projector :)

[erethz]

ok....

i assume that VGA port can output display to a projector.... i;m leaning towards getting the same MSI wind you got....what model is that?

-does it come with built in bluetooth?

[ThoughtsMedia]

@erethz I didn't answer your last question because I thought it was obvious - yes, of course it can connect to a projector if that projector has a VGA input. :-) The MSI Wind model I got is almost two years old; it's been replaced several times by now, so you'll want to check out the newer models.

- Jason

[iVictoriaofficial2]

I got this laptop, and my friend set up Home Premium on it, the only problem I have is the battery life, but it's excellent.

[theandroids]

Excellent video. Beats looking and pictures and reading specs.

[xxxkilAxxx123]

whats the difference between the dell mini 10 and the dell mini 10v?

[athurn5988]

hey do u know whats better? Dell Inspiron Mini 10 inch or a HP-mini Netbook

[smalltimeroller]

one question, can it handle editing programs? such as sony vegas pro etc.???

[Anytime99]

Can I play Starcraft 2 on this Laptop?

[LoadingWorks]

can it play games??

[jasonsaari]

I've had my dell mini 10 for 9 months and have yet to get a "9 hour battery "life, the most ive seen is three hours. do you have any ideas where they get their numbers from?

[ThoughtsMedia]

@jasonsaari They turn the screen brightness down to minimum, turn off WiFi, and do nothing with it. That's how most companies get their battery life claim. You'll never get their maximum battery life claims.

- Jason

[weejasonlnr]

@jasonsaari  :O my names jason to :O

[TheThelenar14]

is it a good laptop and how much was it?? u whant it for school if i do get it for my b day ill faint cus laptops are epic :D are they?

[bouggi123]

nice vid ! is that the mini 1012?

[sammmm96]

Which should I get, this or the Dell Mini 1012? Help!

[Snorkai]

@sammmm96 1012 is a better version i think

i suggest googling

[TheBenv18]

how do you handle this have you had an problems i might get one

[Serjical1]

Where can I get a full free version of Microsoft Works?

[ThoughtsMedia]

@Serjical1 Buy a Dell or HP computer. ;-) They all come with Works...but beyond that, you'll have to buy it. Not much point though - Works isn't great. Better to get Office 2010 Home & Student.

- Jason

[Serjical1]

@ThoughtsMedia I have this exact same computer except I had to format it so I had to reinstall everything. I haven't gotten around to finding any good places for it.

[Mexigonzo]

this thing doesnt work...

[haloprestige678]

Um, hey Jason Dunnsince im getting a dell inspiron 10 mini this thursday and I wanted to know if the white bottom and the black bottom.(Please respond).

[ThoughtsMedia]

@haloprestige678 What you see on Dell's Web site is what you get - you can only customize the top cover.

- Jason

[RevillutionDotCom]

Slap ubuntu on that thing. 

[kkcycykk]

is Integrated Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 3150 better? the dell mini 10 i'm planning to buy now comes with that offer..

[resplendenteen]

@ Thoughtsmedia Hey..Thanks a lot for the unbiased reviews. Watched your other reviews too. Quite nice, detailed and unbiased. Couldn't find a review of the Lenovo S10-3. I wish to get a netbook..getting dicey whether i should go for lenovo or Dell mini 10. If u post a detailed review of the Lenovo S10-3, it would be great..

Also, got any idea of the Maplife GPS navigation system on it? I couldn't get it clarified from anywhere.

-Kashish

[ThoughtsMedia]

@resplendenteen I don't normally take requests, but I have a contact with Lenovo, so I'll see what I can do...no promises though! :-)

- Jason

[resplendenteen]

@ThoughtsMedia : Thanks a lot! Looking forward to the review! :D

Keep posting! :)

N I love your voice! :)

[techboss202]

u should try to get the dell latitude 2110

[puppyrootbeer]

In windows media player, I didn't have a problem with video playback

[d73548]

ugh i hate the mouse o.e i dont have it but it looks like a nuisence (spelled wrong)

[Serjical1]

how do you instal Windows 7 on if there is no CD drive?

[alimalik55]

@Serjical1 you can buy an external optical drive

[Serjical1]

@alimalik55 i know that. i meant is there any site i can go for a safe, reliable, and free version of Windows 7

[alimalik55]

i guess ill be getting this netbook :D. what version of windows 7 should i upgrade it to?

[XxNDfan811xX]

does it come with word, or do i have to buy tht

[ThoughtsMedia]

@Kawasakitori It's totally up to you - myself, I really dislike Windows XP, and I love Windows 7, so I try to put Windows 7 on everything. ;-)

- Jason

[ThoughtsMedia]

@Kawasakitori Yes, you can install Windows 7 on this. I don't thinks it's officially supported though, meaning there are no official Dell drivers for it. Windows 7 does a good job detecting the hardware though.

- Jason

[Ladiesman271blog]

the windows xp you got with the dell, is microsoft office included?

[ThoughtsMedia]

@Ladiesman271blog No. No version of Windows has ever come with Office.

- Jason

[gangbanger56789]

Can you change your backround to a picture online? I'm asking this because i heard a video say you could not do that with this laptop because of Windows 7. Is that true?

[ThoughtsMedia]

@gangbanger56789 Not without using some third-party software. Do a Web search and you'll find how to do it.

- Jason

[TheNewhiphoprap]

do you recommed this netbook?

[nikolaicholev]

Can you help me choose a cheap and powerfull notebook :)??

[MountainDewMaker]

If anyone knows a lot about laptops, please take the time to read this. I'm looking to buy a Dell Inspiron 15 laptop. I have the option to get a 4-cell, 6-cell, or 9-cell battery, but I don't know which to get. Could someone please explain to me the battery life of all three batteries with suggestions on which I should get? Thanks, anything helps!

[tony13498012]

well the highest number with in this case is nine usualy has the highest battery life but i would reccomend going to the retailer and ask them

[HaydenMcGuire]

im getting that soon but i cant figure out wat color i should get. either red,black or the blue graffitii one can u help me choose?

[ThoughtsMedia]

@HaydenMcGuire You should buy red, because I'm telling you that's your favourite colour.

See how stupid that sounds when someone writes it? Buy the colour that YOU want to buy - how the heck can someone else tell you what colour to chose? :-)

- Jason

[HaydenMcGuire]

can u custamize the backround and the theme thing? im looking on the dell website for that but cnt figure out the color its either red, black or one of the cool customized ones. can you help me?

[MultiBigdill]

Can you download itunes on netbooks??

[krb944]

u can't upgrade ram???

[glianx]

i think dell had introduced their new netbook using the pinetrail processor, the N450 but i purchased the asus 1005pe in terms of battery life

[Teamturbo95]

in the US the 6 cell battery is 35.00 to upgrade

[chameleonsnake]

does this systemhave a wifi switch or wifi at all?Thank you

[ThoughtsMedia]

@chameleonsnake If you'd simply read the video description, all the specs are right there. Posting the same thing twice a few minutes apart won't get you a different answer.

- Jason

[dano2013]

@chameleonsnake umm it is a NET book they like to let you connect to the inter NET on them

[chameleonsnake]

Does it have or use Wifi????I need to know ...Thank you

[Tiangisbarato]

@chameleonsnak yes it can use wifi and ethernet

[ashjohnsonsen]

I dont know which is better Dell Mini, Msi Wind , Acer Aspire One, Hp Mini ???

[Nokitfer]

Ohh, It's a netbook, and it's really mini :/ I wanted to give it as a gift to my sister... But this is too small lol

[soldmoney]

built in mic?

[TankHunter925]

I know it wouldn't be able to play CD games but how about small games you would find on some website?

[moviesunrated]

Where are the speakers? I'm sure it has speakers. And does it have a fan? If yes where are they? I just wanna know cos if it doesn't have any speakers I'll get something else, and I wanna know where the fan is so I don't accidently cover them up, from what I could see there weren't any holes apart from on the bottom, I don't wanna maybe have it on a couch and they get covered.

[risitamejia]

no cd drive? then, how you install the drivers and the others CD that brought the box that showed in the previous video?

and can you play this game (timeshift)requirements:

*Windows 2000/XP/Vista/Windows 7 (32 and 64-Bit)

2 GHz processor (2.5 GHz recommended)

1 GB RAM

128 MB video card with pixel shader 2.0b support (3.0 or 4.0 recommended, whichever is applicable)

Sound card

please respond and thanks

[ThoughtsMedia]

@risitamejia You get an external CD/DVD drive - this isn't rocket science. :-) As for the game, no, a laptop with a 1.6 Ghz CPU probably won't play a game where the minimum requirements are 2 Ghz or 2.5 Ghz...again, that's pretty obvious, no?

- Jason

[risitamejia]

well i will get the inspiron 11z

[plateofshrimp]

@risitamejia Don't buy a netbook to play games. That's not what they are for.

[plateofshrimp]

@risitamejia Don't buy a netbook to play games. That's not what they are for.

[fifakiri]

@risitamejia you cant suft the net with that let alone play a game

[walkthroughguy88]

hey can i ever open this up ( i dont care if warenty is ruined) could i upgrade anything

[themadhatteramy]

i like dells and am ordering one soon i think dells r better then hps should i cosome make one on dells website.

[CRX35SE]

[shipsimulatorfreak]

[ApostolicLove]

norton gave a virus.

[Davidcoady85]

have you used the latest one? have the problems been fixed?

[ThoughtsMedia]

@Davidcoady85 You mean the New Dell Mini 10? Check my other videos, I reviewed one...

- Jason

[YoCool2oo9]

Nice Windows XP Key, I have Win 7 so i don't need, thanks anyway :)

[raiderhaiter43]

soo can you upload youtube videos from this computer?

[DrLallu]

can I get a 6 cell battery for my inspiron mini 1012 if I have 3 cell battery?

[bassem989]

how is it just for use of downloading music and just basic everyday use

[babali868]

hey jason, is the graphic card a major problem? would i have trouble running windows 7 starter? or play videos not in full screen?

[ThoughtsMedia]

@babali868 Standard definition videos? No problem. HD videos? Lots of problems. It can run Windows 7 just fine though.

- Jason

[noog0909]

@ThoughtsMedia

Can you buy the external disk drive AFTER you purchase the Netbook?

I'm not sure I'd want it when I got it, but maybe after?

Please respond.

~Ian

[ThoughtsMedia]

@noog0909 Sure, of course you can - why wouldn't you be able to? You can use any brand of external optical drive.

- Jason

[noog0909]

@ThoughtsMedia

Okay, thanks, I was a bit confused.

~Ian

[M1GSn4K3]

@ThoughtsMedia jason do you think i should get the inspiron or the mini inspiron

[housevenue]

Asus Eeepc 1201n versus Dell mini10 , wats ur vote?!

[Gliebhard]

if you order it on amazon dose it come with the AC adapter

[ThoughtsMedia]

@Gliebhard Sure, of course it does - how else would you recharge it? :-)

- Jason

[BJbrosProductions]

i have a question how do i get it so the built in microphone is on and i record with out the webcam on so like when i just want to narrate for like a video i can just have my voice in it. Please answer back A.S.A.P.

[ThoughtsMedia]

@BJbrosProductions Whatever program you're in that records audio would have to be set to use the microphone.

- Jason

[elementskater94]

so for thoughtsmedia, to record music would you get this dell inspiron mini or that HP?

[ThoughtsMedia]

@elementskater94 I don't think a netbook is an ideal music recording tool - they're not very powerful - but I don't record music so I'm not an expert on what's required. I'd imagine though that for 1-2 track recording it would be fine, but I don't think the hardware would deal well with complex 6+ track recording scenarios. But who knows, I could be very wrong on that. :-)

- Jason

[dutymaster1]

no tim talking about to be more gentle to the computer not to make any risk

[dutymaster1]

1:28 take a good cair on that nois :P

[ThoughtsMedia]

I'm afraid I don't understand the language you're typing in. Can you try again in English?

- Jason
