Dell Mini 9 Gets 2GB RAM and 64GB SSD Options
Jan 7th
The Dell Inspiron Mini 9 can now be purchased in two new configurations. The new options allows buyers to order a Mini 9 running Ubuntu with 2GB of RAM or with a 64GB SSD installed.
The cost of the new 2GB option will be an extra $75 on the regular price of a Mini 9 and the 64GB SSD configuration will set you back an extra $150. The pricing seems a little high and as Portable Monkey point out, if you are able to do the job yourself, its possible to add the extra RAM for less than $75.
There are restrictions on the Windows XP versions of the netbook that mean it isn’t possible for Dell to sell a unit with any more than 1GB RAM installed and no higher than a 16GB SSD or 160GB HDD installed either hence, no extra goodies for the Windows versions of the Mini 9.

Just a few days after a product teaser for the new version of the HP Mini-Note 1000 appears on HP’s online store, HP is now ready to ship the Mini-Note 1000 Mi Edition at the published price of $329.99.
And like we told you before, for that price tag, you’ll get the following features and specs:
- HP Mobile internet (Mi) software built on Linux
- Intel Atom Processor N270 (1.60GHz)
- 8.9″ diagonal WSVGA LED BrightView Widescreen Display (1024 x 600) or
- 10.1″ diagonal SD LED BrightView Infinity Widescreen Display (1024 x 576)
- 512MB RAM upgradeable up to 2GB
- 8-16GB SSD or 60GB HDD

This may seem a pretty solid netbook but, if you’ve got an extra dollar to spare you may want to consider the other HP Mini-Note which was just announced – the Mini-Note 2140.
