    This was the stock $399 configuration advertised on Dell's site.

    Just charging and setting it up now so let me know of any questions and I'll try to answer.

    Couple of things right off the bat. It looks just like an oversized mini 10 (we never got any of the 12's)

    The ac adapter is the same unit they provide with the bigger dells like the studio 14 and 15, not the nice compact unit that comes with the mini 10

    Very prominent "celeron inside" sticker on the front left corner along with a Windows Vista sticker.

    The surrounding deck and keyboard are kind of a semi matte black not as shiny as the minis we have.

    That's it for now. Charging it up and will start playing with it at lunch time

    Cool, finally some feedback on this thing. I've been searching for some reviews and I can't believe there's no formal reviews out there.

    Would you mind running Passmark's benchmark?

    I want to buy a laptop with a screen between 11.6-13.3, but the Atom's just don't have the power, so I'm hoping that the Celeron 723 and/or Core 2 Solo SU3500 are a big step up.

    Overall result was 304.3 it was not able to run one of the Direct X tests due to an issue with 'shaders".

    CPU mark was 380

    Hope this helps you
