The Dell Inspiron Mini 10 (1018) netbook is now available in the US. The Inspiron Mini 10 is an affordable and lightweight netbook that doesn’t sacrifice any of the features you desire.

The Dell Inspiron Mini 1018 netbook is boasts a 1.66GHz Intel Atom N455 processor, a 10.1-inch display with resolution of 1024 x 600 pixels, Intel GMA 3150 integrated, 1GB of DDR3 memory, 160GB/250GB hard drive.

There are other features which includes a 0.3 megapixel web camera, 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.1, Ethernet LAN (10/100 Mbps), VGA output, a 3-in-1 media card reader, a 3-cell or 6-cell battery, and runs Windows 7 Starter OS.

Dell may have ditched the 12-inch Mini netbook, but for those still looking for something a touch larger than 10-inches, there’s the all-new Inspiron 11z. Strictly classified as a “thin-and-light,” this three-pound machine measures in at just one-inch thick and ships with a 1.2GHz Celeron 723 processor, a 1,366 x 768 LED-backlit panel, 2GB of DDR2 RAM, a 250GB (5400RPM) SATA hard drive, GS45 integrated graphics, WiFi, a 3-cell battery and nary an optical drive to speak of. There’s also a 1.3 megapixel camera, twin stereo speakers, an Ethernet port, three USB sockets, a 3-in-1 multicard reader and an HDMI output, though we get the feeling Windows Vista won’t be too happy with the hardware. Thankfully, you can drop your $399 now and snag Windows 7 on the cheap here in just a few months.
