I'm writing this comment on one of those netbooks right now.. I was leant one for the weekend from a friend after leaving my normal (massive) laptop's power cable in the office.

Good idea. Great Dell netbook. I wish I had one [for Windows 7] :)

Harvinder Atwal · 11 months ago

Had a similar thing, the acer aspire one. Very good but a tad too small, so I think this should do nicely, especially with the 3g data card.

David Hughes · 11 months ago

Netbooks with built in 3G - lovely!

Robert · 11 months ago

Thank You!

Jonathan Jensen · 11 months ago

Netbooks are fantastic as an 'extra' PC.

Cynthia Fishel · 11 months ago

In over 20 years of Internet marketing and Web development, I have never used a Dell. Now that I have been laid off with thousands after 15 years of service and must hand in my laptop as part of the departure, I would very much be interested in seeing how well Dell performs :-) Thanks.

Nate · 11 months ago

The Mini 9 looks great. It's definitely the top netbook for me.

Hey all, thanks so much for your comments.

Just so you are all aware, the draw will be taking place at 8pm GMT and I'll post the result a few minutes later.

The winner will be contacted by email and, whilst I won't be publicising the email address of the winner, I will be posting your name.

ALSO, just in case any of your are worried...i will be counting ALL entries posted that wordpress registers as being PLACED before 1800 - even if they do not show in the public comments list.

I am doing my very best to post comments live as soon as they are received but as long as YOU post your comment to the blog BEFORE 1800, you WILL be included in the draw.

May the luckiest person win!
