    I've been asked to spec out some netbooks for my company. We currently have a major contract with Dell, so that would be the path of least resistance. However, the reviews of the Inspiron Mini 10 are somewhat underwhelming.

    Some questions:

    - boot time seems slow. We will probably be running Win7 Enterprise because Win7 Starter doesn't allow connection to a domain.

    - No TPM chip, correct?

    - how's the speed? YouTube videos OK?

    - is the RAM upgradeable? I keep seeing conflicting answers.

    - how's the touchpad? Multiple reviews have been a bit "ehh..." with the performance. Apparently the integrated buttons aren't so hot.

    - how's the battery life with the 3-cell?

    Thanks for any help.
