The Dell Mini 9 is a good investment for a knock-around traveling laptop. I'm going to San Francisco next month for a week and I was hesitant to take my six month old Macbook. I recently got a Dell Mini 9 and put Leopard on it. I have no qualms about taking it with me and throwing it in my carry-on bag. Last time I travelled, I had a roll-on bag AND my laptop bag. This time - one small backpack.
By the way, the battery life is amazing for a four cell battery. I get almost four hours of wireless browsing. Tonight it had a full charge and it showed 5 hours 20 minutes when I pulled the a/c.
How did you manage that kind of battery life?? Mine consistently is at about 2:58 when I pull the plug.
