I’ve got a Mini 9 and it’s black. Any other color costs $30 more. The pictures you have look like an off-the-shelf Mini 9. How does the Vostro differ from a Mini 9?
From The Mirror Universe, totally.
-and the goatee was a dead giveaway.
#1: It’s an all black Mini 9 Vostro-ed up for the biz side and marked up accordingly.
Same exact hardware under the hood.
oh, another beautiful notebook, what about it work!
Dell biz comps are better designed than their home use counterparts. Sturdier chassis, non-glossy, non-glare, matte display (god how I hate that damn glossy screen) plus it has all the internal components of the mini 9 thus making it 100% compatible with Mac OS X 10.5.x. (which is why I bought it… doing iPhone development and don’t feel like spending 1K)
