They discontinued the Mini 9 in June. Now they've brought it back for a limited time - it can be had for $199 + shipping for 4 days only - supposedly.

Dell Mini 9 @ Dell.com

I used my Union membership account to get an additional 7% off of the price. If you're crafty and look around the web you too can find a way to get the extra percentage off.

The outlet has a bunch with 8GB SSDs and XP Home for the same price. The Dell outlet coupons that went out today apply for 15% off. I might go the outlet route since i've been wanting one of these for under $200. $170 is even better. :D
 
I bit on this outlet model for $169.15AC + tax and free shipping:

Inspiron Mini 9 (910) Laptop: Intel Atom Processor N270 (1.6GHz/533Mhz FSB/512K cache) No DVD or CD Drive
4 Cell Primary Battery
30W AC Adapter

32BIT Operating System CD
Genuine Windows XP Home
8.9 inch Wide Screen WSVGA (1024 x 600 screen resolution) TrueLife
8 GB Solid State Drive
Microsoft Works 9.0
Wireless 802.11g Mini Card

It has the same warranty as a new model.
 
Wait, on the TECH SPECS it says UP TO 1GB...

Does it mean that's the maximum? Or is that the amount of memory that comes with it.

I could use a coupon if anyone has a spare :), in for a Mini 9 or Mini 10.
 
In for a Mini 9... my first netbook.

Many thanks to my new best pal, bufodr_T, for the coupon!!! :)
 
that coupon can be used only once but for multiple items on that order.
 
I have a 15% off coupon if someone would like it.

But there's no such option. Do I have to create and account and log in first?
 
It still says "4 days only: Get this Mini 9 for $199! Discount applied at checkout." when you actually click "customize"

That's a 15% off coupon for the outlet.

If you want an unused or virtually new system in the outlet, choose one labeled "previously ordered new" on the left.
 
does this guy support winxp or vista? I see the config only allows for ubuntu so I wonder if the drivers are they for winders

Vista won't install on a 4GB SSD unless it's been (heavily) modified. http://rickatnight11.com/?p=71

The "Ubuntu" version is the same hardware (besides the default SSD size) as the XP model. The mini 9 drivers are on the support page.
 
Majority of the Mini 9's actually came with Windows XP on them and Dell did a decent job of tuning the system to run responsively. I had every intention of blowing Windows away as soon as I got mine when I bought a cheap refrub back in Feb but it's been running so well that I left Windows XP on it.
 
any reason one couldn't install a normal HDD? does this use one of the ssd's that are smaller than 2.5"?
 
I got my mom a new Mini 9 (w/ XP). Can't complain saving 30 bucks. Looks like all the previously new ones in the outlet were out... just refurbed units :( Would have liked saving a ton on a used one, but getting a new one allowed me to get the jade green color, now my mom will be styling :D

10v is essentially the same thing. I dual boot XP/OSX with the 10v and I like it better simply because of the shift key placement, but $170 or so for a Mini 9 is tough to beat since the Mini 10v's are all about $250 even from the outlet.
 
I would have gone the Outlet route, had I been able to locate one with Bluetooth and Webcam onboard.

The BT & Cam can be bought aftermarket directly from Dell, but this requires dismantling the Mini9 in entirety, and possibly voiding the warranty. Though a good friend of mine is a dell certified technician, so that could circumvent that issue. hmm.....
