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.
oh, another beautiful notebook, what about it work!
#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.
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)
