Right now there are hot deals on the ultra-portable Dell Mini netbook computers. Now is the time to buy a value netbook, and have a lightweight and compact computer that is easy to bring just about anywhere.
The Dell Mini 9 (Inspiron Mini 9n) is incredibly cheap at just $239. It is the most compact Mini, in addition to being really cheap. If you are on a budget, want the most compact model, or simply do not need a lot of storage, this model is probably a good choice.
However, I really like the Dell Mini 10 with a built-in TV tuner. It is just $399 and adds an HD widescreen display and a digital ATSC (HDTV) TV tuner. It also has a more advanced Z530 Intel Atom processor, 160GB of hard drive storage and a 2 year warranty.
Another choice is the model for $439 with internal GPS and turn by turn navigation software.
