It weighs like 2 pounds, has a 6.7 inch screen, is great for web surfing, email and games and almost best of all my dream model clocks in at around $400. I am soo getting one of these.

More people are beginning to realize bigger isn't always better, especially in the world of laptops. While a 17" screen is nice, 8 pounds can make traveling pretty difficult. Dell's new Inpiron Mini series are a breath of fresh air in the world of laptops.

The Inspiron Mini 9 with a 1.6 GHz Intel Atom processor (fast and uses less battery power), 8.9" LED display, Wi-Fi card, 16 GB solid state drive (which mean this laptop can be bounced about without affecting performance speed), 1 GB DDR2 memory, and has the option for a built in Webcam. Note that there is no CD/DVD-ROM drive, but this little powerhouse has plenty of USB drives so you can connect an external drive easily in seconds.

What does this model have over bigger laptops? Two things: it weighs a little over 2 pounds and the battery lasts over 4 hours! Another great advantage is this little until starts at only $450! This mini laptop is a must have for anybody who travels a lot or the student needing to carry a laptop with them to class. The price makes the Dell Inspiron Mini 9 an unbeatable deal! (via Dell)
