    Probably the cheapest way to get a Mini 10 is to pick up a refurbish base model out of the Dell Outlet with a 15% off coupon. $300-$45=$255+tax. But the last 15% off coupons expired Thursday, so you'd probably have to wait till at least this Thursday for more. (I would normally say pick up a brand new one out of the Outlet, but they seem to be sold out at the moment.)

    The best deal I can find on a NEW Mini 10 is $429 (after $104 instant savings).

    Specs are as follows:
    Obsidian Black or Alpine White exterior
    1.6GHz Intel Atom Z530
    Windows XP Home
    10.1" (1024x576) LED display
    1GB RAM
    160GB 5400rpm Hard Drive
    Dell 1510-N wireless card
    Intel GMA 500 integrated graphics
    3-cell Battery
    2-Yr Warranty w/ In-Hom Service
    LINK

    But the best deals are from the Dell Outlet (as already mentioned), starting at $299- LINK
