Dell Announces The Inspiron Mini 12: $600, 12-inch display

Posted by Ponzi Pirillo Categories: PC / Laptop

Dell has officially announced the newest member to their netbook family of mini laptops, the Inspiron Mini 12.  The Mini 12 comes with an Intel Atom Z520 1.3GHz or the Z530 1.6GHZ processor, 80GB hard drive, 1GB of RAM, Bluetooth, WiFi, a Webcam and a 12-inch display.  The laptop comes loaded with Windows Vista Home Basic, and has a starting price of less than $600.  The Mini 12 is currently only available in Japan, but will come to the U.S. soon. 

The specs make this a very capable machine, but running Vista with only 1GB of RAM make take some of the wind out of its sprint.  You could always load it with XP when it arrives and then have a very fast machine, the likes of the MacBook Air, but for a fraction of the price.

Bluetooth SIG just announced the new spec for Bluetooth, that being Bluetooth 2.1+EDR. We had Mike Foley head on over to Gear Live headquarters to give us a first look at what is improved in the new spec, and to show off the ultra-cool near field communication technology that is now a part of Bluetooth. If that isn’t cool enough, we can also expect up to 5x better battery life out of our Bluetooth devices as well, as it pertains to Bluetooth battery drain. Check the video for all the details.
