9" Laptops

Dell Mini Inspiron

This candy apple red laptop is a first look at Dell's new 9 inch PC. Built for those who tote their mobile office on a frequent basis, the Dell Mini Inspiron is set to hit shelves this August.

"The Mini will almost certainly be paired with XP and an Atom processor," Gadgettastic says. "Ubuntu may also be a possibility, especially given the trends in the mini-market as of late."

As a traveling Trend Hunter, this could be my new companion! Not only is it light, it takes up minimal space making it even easier to find a chic case to house it in!
