Couple of weeks ago i went in a bought one of the DELL Mini’s offered thru Vodafone contract.

Nice gadget, Not many serious people appreciate it. It comes with a 14gb ssd and 1gb ram (upgradable), and a 5 gb mobile broadband,. and no boring bits.  I will be upgrading as soon as i feel this is working for me..

Its too small to even install a full version of vista business and office ultimate.. But i have 3 gb of available space.. Interesting..

Softwares installed.

• Vista Business (Small foot print)
• Office ultimate 2007 (required bits)
• Visio professional 2007 (required bits)
• Windows Live (mail, writer etc)
• Adobe reader and air for twitter client
• Office Live addins

I wanted to see whether this will work for me, Isolating my development laptop to netbook which now carries all day to day bits. Now I dont have to worry about my personal bits on the development laptop., resetting and rebuilding is a breeze..

Will update more on part 2 – Configuration.
