			<description><![CDATA[Bought this neat chaps for 6 months, and this 6 months marked the most traveling period of my life, being to China, Malaysia, Taiwan, Singapore, Indonesia, US, India and around Europe for business purpose. This lil gadget never dissapoint me, i guess the only downside of Dell Mini 9 is its storage capacity, but i can understand that it's not entirely Dell's fault, but Microsoft's policy in promoting low cost system. Ok, back to topic, i bought this lil wizard in Australia, just before they stop selling it in this region, for some reason. Along with the package is Vodafone 3g broadband card. For a 9" screen, the monitor's performance is more than just satisfying, clear and sharp, while able to show a full web site. Camera wise, its 1.3mp inbuilt camera is nothing impressive, but good enough for casual use of webcam communication. As for keyboard, it does take a while to get used to the much shrinked side buttons such as shift and caps, as well as merging the F buttons onto A-L row, but once get the hang of it, it just feel perfect, even for somebody with a big palm like me (my palm covered half the keyboard without spreading my fingers). Trackpad wise, it work just perfectly so far, havent have any problems with it besides that my hand is lil too big for the keyboard and at times my left hand will come in touch with the track pad and cause interuption, other than that, nothing major. The 3 USB slot and card reader slot is extremely important for a netbook with such low storage capacity spec, i got a 32gb card to backup the system and store any media file, as well as an external hard disk and pen drive on the go, just in case. Battery life wise, it doesnt last forever, but im satisfied with its performance that usually last more than 3 and half hours (barely 4 ). As for its wireless device, it is sensitive (or it's just me) and steady, nothing special to point out here. I'm going to get this lil baby some upgrades as i back to Australia end of this year, by the time i load it with runcore 128gb ssd, 8 cells 5400mah battery and a possible wifi card, i think this lil beuty will be a great wonder, consider its size/weight and functions.</br></br>Since australia has stop manufacturing this model, im planning to get 1 through the net for my gf. Yes, with such low cost, u know u cant go wrong.]]></description>
