The new Dell Inspiron 1018 has managed to reach not only Europe, as announced before, but also Singapore, this week. The reason could be the reputation created by Dell with its Mini 1018 netbook.
Using a netbook it might not be the most comfortable way to work with a computer, but is definitely the most convenient one from the internet access and battery life point of view.
The 10-inch Mini 1018 has some specific features that makes it a desirable netbook. It will be bundled with a single-core N455 Atom processor, 1GB of DDR3 memory, Wireless N capabilities and a 250GB hard disk, which should be sufficient to store large amounts of data and media content. In addition, Dell also claims that the Mini 1018 is capable of lasting slightly more than seven hours on a single battery charge and weighs below 1.4kg, which should allow for greater portability. Its graphical processing capabilities on backed up by the onboard Intel GMA 3150, a fairly standard onboard GPU found in such devices. Is also pre-loaded with Windows 7 Starter (32-bit version) and Skype to allow for making Skype video calls right out of the box.
The bad news is that, unlike other Dell laptops, the Mini’s hardware is not customizable.
It’s available to sell online for 499 USD.
