Get the Dell Inspiron Mini 9 Netbook for $99
Sep 4th
We got to give it to Dell for this great idea to promote their new netbook, the Inspiron Mini 9. Knowing that their netbook has nothing much to offer in terms of features and functionality which would give them the edge among other netbooks, Dell has decided to offer their netbook at such a dirt cheap price. But of course, promotional gimmicks such as this doesn’t come without a catch.
So, here’s the catch, according to Dell’s official blog:
If you can wait until 6 a.m. Central tomorrow, Sept. 5, you’ll be able to get a Mini for only $99 with the purchase of a Studio 15, XPS M1530 or XPS M1330 laptop through 6 a.m. Tuesday, Sept. 9 (U.S. only).
Sounds like a pretty good deal right? Hopefully Dell would offer the same promo to other countries as well. For sure I will be the first customer to get this offer.
