YAY! I have my new toy!

That is right, some of you might have known about my latest purchase (AKA new toy that I cannot afford) known as the Dell mini 9. It is a dainty 8.9 inch wide laptop or as they are called "netbooks". I have some pictures to prove it but I am setting up too, so I will post them later tonight. YAY! TOYS!

Ooooooooooh.....I want to know what you think of it, etc., !!!

It is an awesome little machine. It chugs a little at times, I really tested it out tonight while downloading multiple things, but in the end it still managed to get through it all. The small size of it all is really interesting to get used to, especially when I go back to a regular sized monitor, makes it seem like I am looking at a 60 inch screen!

For $500 and panic time with my credit, I think it is quite worth it!

Have you done any gaming on it?
I like the idea of having (even a small) lightweight laptop to drag into bed. My toshiba is awesome, but large- more a desktop type deal, despite being portable.

how much RAM etc., does yours have?

[leifvignirsson]

No, I haven't done any gaming on it. If I would, it would be rather "mellow" gaming, older games and things that don't eat up too much space (16 GB SSD Flash drive).

The processor is 1.6 GHz and the RAM is at 1 GB at the moment, I believe I can upgrade but it will probably cost me a bit more to do it since it is a new design.

One day though, it will totally kick ass at gaming, for sure!
