Dell has officially announced the first of what will most likely be a long line of Pine Trail processor based netbooks. The first is the Mini 10 and it will be available sometime in “early January.” Price wise, it will start at $299.
In terms of features, of course we have the new processor, which in this case is a 1.66GHz Intel Atom N450.
Otherwise many of the features remain the same as what we have come to expect in terms of netbooks including the 10.1-inch (1024 x 600 resolution) display, 1GB of RAM, 160GB hard drive and 3 or 6-cell battery. Of course, that 6-cell battery is listed as offering up to 9.5 hours of life.
Thankfully though, there is some room for upgrades here. And some of those include choosing 2GB of RAM, a 250GB hard drive and “available in the coming weeks” a high-definition (1366 x 768 resolution) display.
Other features include an optional TV tuner, Bluetooth and GPS as well as the standard Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g, USB ports and VGA-out. Finally, in terms of operating system, the Pine Trail based Mini 10 will be running your choice of Windows 7 Starter or Windows XP. Dell will also be offering an option to choose Ubuntu 9.04, however that will not be available at the time of launch.
