Dell Inspiron iM10V-2734OBK Mini 10v 10.1-Inch Netbook (Obsidian Black) Review

Aside from having some buyer’s regret because the price of this item has dropped about 0 since I bought it eight months ago, I have to concede that I like this netbook a lot. I have two full size pc’s (a Mac Airbook and a Sony Vaio), but bought this because I needed something small and convenient to take with me on the road as I am not totally enchanted with my Iphone. For the most part, I use this to respond to emails, surf the net,store photos, and access files. It fits into my purse, weighs maybe 2 lbs, boots up quickly, and the 6v battery give me a lot of time (approx. 7-8 hours)on one charge. It even has a camera, but other than initially testing it out I don’t use it. The keyboard is scaled down, but easy to use and easy to get used to. I can’t comment on Dell phone support because any questions I’ve had have been answered via the online tutorial.
While this clearly doesn’t do everything that a full feature laptop does(no built in cd/rom for starters), I need a pretty basic machine on my travels and am not fussy. I doubt if this would be adequate to support some business applications, but for the casual pc user who doesn’t want to lug around a clumsy and/or heavy pc this is a pretty cool substitute.
I have accessorized this with a keyboard cover which does a great job keeping debris where it belongs, a netbook sleeve, and a chill pad.
The netbook is a good substitute for a pc when you don’t require a workhorse.
