Having been amongst the first to purchase the Dell 910 Mini I wanted to share my experience with others that might be thinking about acquiring this item or one of the other sub-notebook or ‘netbooks’ as they have become known. I manage a web design agency and I’ve been considering the idea of acquiring myself a more modern laptop as my old Dell Inspiron from 2003 is as heavy as a brick.

Shortly after having retired the old Dell to my girlfriends house (I couldn’t face lugging it back and forwards any longer so it just lives there now, I might well do the same with myself one of these days soon!) it stopped charging and wouldn’t run from the mains, so eventually when I gave it to my tech to repair he found out that it was one of the known faulty models, the 5150 which developed a problem with the motherboard overheating after prolonged use, this I found out about 2 years after they stopped replacing them as part of a class action lawsuit, shame I’m two years too late to get it replaced for free!

Ah well what’s 150 quid for a factory refurbished Motherboard off ebay, compared with years of loyal service in spite of being dropped a couple of times, spat on repeatedly, eaten over and all manner of other not recommended usage styles! I even used to have it hooked up to my TV via the onboard S-VHS port and watch films on it, so it has seen some action, oh yes!

However, this was all inspired by my step dad who just took delivery of top of the range Toshiba Portege at around £1,200, but he’s at that time in life where 1,200 quid is affordable, where as I’m still in financial recovery from my last divorce (yes there was more than one!)! So I stumbled across the Dell Inspiron 910 Mini on the Dell website whilst looking at specs of laptops for a client, and there it was £299 inc VAT and delivery. What a bargain I thought!

Anyway there I was credit card on hot standby, wrist twitching ready to make a purchase, but wait a minute I thought, why am I buying this, do I really need it? No, I don’t NEED it I just WANT ONE ! So then some sensibility came over me and I put my credit card away, feeling all smug with myself at having managed to resist an impulse purchase!

However, the next day my step Dad needs me to investigate his new Toshiba because he can’t get the printer to work and can’t get it to see the other machines on our network (this job for me, comes with the territory!) So I happen to have to work on this ultra lightweight new laptop, wow I’m amazed at how light it is, especially compared to my old Dell 5150! I wish I had cash spare to invest in one of these I thought! I noticed he didn’t have my recommended security software installed though.I setup my recommended internet security programs: Avast Anti Virus and Spybot Search & Destroy which I always use.

The following day I had to go to a client’s and as the appointement was first thing in the morning I went straight there from my girlfriends house and took the old 5150 with me (which gives me a great excuse to call in on my way back and drop it off, coincidentally around about lunchtime when there might be the chance of a ham, cheese and salad sandwich on the go! Yum, she is soooo good to me!) So anyway, I about put my back out trying to put this incredibly heavy laptop in the car passenger foot well whilst sitting in the drivers’ seat! So having experienced the new lightweight machines first hand, and realised I do have a genuine NEED for the new Dell Inspiron mini after all, weighing in at around 1kg, you know I planned to get that credit card out again as soon as I was able!

So as I had a management meeting that afternoon I informed my Finance Manager I would be ordering one and that was that. It was Friday October 3rd when I placed the order on the Dell website, and on the 8th I got back from a client meeting to find a small cardboard box on my desk with the Dell log on the side, I thought it couldn’t possibly be the new mini as the confirmation email I got said it would be delivered on or around the 20th October, but sure enough it really had arrived!

So I’m like a kid in a sweet shop thinking “best day ever” (See Heroes Season 3), I was ecstatic and carefully unpacked it, tossing instructions and disks to one side of course, “read those later” I thought. I got it out and started setting it up straight away, you know remove McAfee Security Centre and all the other junk software these things come with these days.

As it has an integrated web cam I also downloaded Windows Live Messenger and had a short video call with my fiancée whilst she was doing her house work, superb!So next I Googled ‘mobile broadband suppliers’ and toyed with ordering the USB dongle from Three, as their 5GB monthly allowance is only 15 quid a month so the best looking deal, providing those coverage stories you hear about Three Mobile are not really true! (Update: Yes the coverage is lousy in all the areas I want to use it, even at my desk I have to connect the dongle to a USB cable and hang it from my roof to get 1 bar signal strength, ridiculous buy another brand!) Current suggestion is for an O2 dongle as they have good coverage and a good backbone speed.

Anyway, it was soon time to go and get my daughter from school so I thought yeah I’ll take it with me and even though I don’t have the mobile broadband USB Modem yet I can continue setting it up in car park if I’m early. I was early, so I turned it on, it said:

Windows could not start because of an error in the software.

Please report this problem as :

load needed DLLs for kernel.

Please contact your support person to report this problem

As we say in England from the popular Catherine Tate sketch “Computer says no…”

Ah dear, it was great fun whilst it lasted, all of about 2 and a half minutes!Then followed a two and a half hour telethon with Dell support in India Apparently they were so quick to ship it to me that my service tag isn’t on their system yet.

Dell refuses to send me a replacement one on this call. Why? Well it was because they couldn’t look up the service tag on their network! How ridiculous, I really couldn’t understand it at all, it’s not like it was a virtual pc or something really complicated!

They suggested I called back in 24-48 hours, well I explained to them exactly what I thought of their suggestion as I’m sure you can image, but to no avail. I did indeed have to call back today and they have agreed to send me a replacement unit as it is within 7 days of delivery.

I hope the replacement arrives as quickly as the original unit did…

So conclusion? Apart from the fact it doesn’t work (a faulty drive in my opinion) and for the life of me I can’t get it to boot from an external drive or USB key (it doesn’t have a CD or DVD drive you know) it feels really solid, looks lovely, and is nice to handle (sounds a bit like the ideal companion to an i-phone 2.0 doesn’t it!).

Like most reviewers have experienced, the keys are small (but blackberry users manage and they are larger than those keys) and the right shift key is tiny and means you can’t type an @ in the usual fashion. But the screen is nice, 3 USB slots, a monitor connector, Ethernet and earphones and mic connectors although it has both speakers and mic internally so you can video conference without having to plug anything in.

On the whole, I would recommend it, providing you get one that works ! I am also yet to try it with LogMeIn which is my preferred way of dealing with how to access emails, lots of passwords, specialist software and all that kind of thing when you are out and about. Possibly the screen is going to be too small to be able to work with for extended periods of time, but I’ll let you know when the replacement arrives and I have had chance to give it a proper testing, assuming that one doesn’t break on me as soon as I start urm ‘configuring’ it!

Further Update: So I have had the Dell Mini for about erm, wow nearly a year now! It would never work with LogMeIn over the Three dongle. To be fair 3 were very helpful, until we took the dongle out and successfully used it in another one of my computers and were able to connect on LogMeIn without any problems, at this point they referred me to Dell, at which point I lost interest!

It is all to do with one of the browser settings, not remembering itself when you tick the check box and hit OK. I can’t remember which one it was now, and maybe internet explorer 8 will have fixed the problem or it might work on Mozilla browser instead, I just never got round to trying to sort it out again and tend to use the Mini more now to read the news in bed with my cup of tea in the morning.

It is too fiddly to use for really extended periods but it is great for checking your email when you’re out and about, or for a quick impulse surf when you can’t be bothered to turn the main pc on and you want to remind yourself what other films that actor or actress was in for example!I don’t know much about lcd monitors but i reckon if you connected one to this externally it would work great.

It’s a great little machine though and also works quite well down the pub, because I can actually fit it in the pocket of my big coat, and that is proper cool, except it doesn’t like beer puddles much so I tend to avoid taking it most of the time, unless I know I’m going to need to log on, but then the pub has got a sexy new Mac which is already covered in beer so I prefer to use that (any excuse to get behind the bar really!)

In summary though it has not had any hardware problems since the initial replacement was received. On the whole I have found that Dell kit tends to be pretty reliable anyway, especially when you are dealing with the more business based items whereas this is obviously more consumer oriented. With a Dell if they are going to go wrong they will usually do so within the first six months of use and generally after that they will keep going until recommended service intervals such as changing the disks after a couple of years and that kind of thing.

It should be pointed out though that these mini Dell laptops/netbooks, call them what you will, do not having a regular hard disk drive inside them. A normal hard drive has a disk inside it that physically spins round and a ‘head’ which moves backwards and forwards over the sectors quite like the relationship between the stylus and the tracks on an old fashion vinyl record !

The hard drives within the Dell mini, and other netbooks too I should image, are solid state, that is to say they are rather like USB flash drives or memory keys. In fact I think from a picture I saw they look more like RAM memory chips all joined together than a single physical device. The advantage of using solid state memory over traditional hard drives is that they use less power, they are not as heavy and they are quieter. Much quieter. If you’re like me you will have noticed how computers have got a lot noisier over the last 10 years, as they have got more powerful.

My Dell Mini is blissfully quiet in comparison to any of my other computers, desktops or laptops. Although if you are super-sensitive to sound like I am then you can notice a very slight hum or whine when you request a program that requires it to access the hard drive. Most people probably won’t notice this but if you are familiar with the faint hum from your mobile phone charger or other devices of that ilk that transform power from one state to another then you might know what I am talking about. It certainly isn’t a problem though, although the power adapter for the machine itself does make some odd noises if you listen to it closely. It is similar to a mobile phone charger though, not like a traditional laptop power adapter, and this makes the whole thing much more portable.

My favourite aspect of this machine is that in some it elicits the same response as having a small puppy or kitten out and about with you, especially down the pub where if you get it out to a bunch of girls you can hear the ooh and ahhh’s of girls who think something is cute! That is priceless!

Bed linen, more specifically, cotton bedding has beyond question become the craze in today’s modern bedrooms. You are able to get thread counts ranging from 180 clear up to a one thousand and more today. Most folks think that thread counts are the sole correct way to evaluate how good a bed sheet is really going to be. Not true.

You also need to look at how long the thread is to actually ascertain the durability and strength of your bed linens. What you want to look out for is a longer thread, or fiber to begin with. You’ll get that when you shop for a hundred% Egyptian cotton, followed by supima or Pima cotton which are close seconds as far as fiber length.

The longer the fiber the longer and stronger the resultant yarns are — the more substantial the fiber and fabric in your sheets on the bed will be. Another thing to consider is whether it’s one ply or two ply. Two ply means that the threads have been separated and then woven back together in order for the maker to sell it at a higher thread count than it would generally be.

You’ll be able to pick from not just your typical, traditional white and ivory colors. Now you’ve at your disposal and full and lavish color palette to match any bedroom to core you are able to conceive of. Pearl, copper, lavender, sage, and sand are typical color options for bed linen these days. You’ll also find geometric patterns and stripes from thin to wide, and prints of every variety and type — from animal designs to bold 60s flowery prints — you’ll find it all in today’s bed linens, pillowcases and duvet covers.

A lot of women are going crazy over Stephenie Meyer’s “Twilight”, and even more so over Robert Pattinson. For example, in The Robert Pattinson Diaries, you wonder if you could fall in love with someone in real life.

Call it a form of “Twilight” fan fiction, but ATwilightKiss.com imagines and expresses fictionally a world where Robert Pattinson thirsts for Kristen Stewart not only in the movies, but off screen as well.

Check out this passage, for example: “As soon as the door closed in our faux private space, I noted how our momentary separation from the outside world immediately set Kristen at ease, and I couldn’t help smiling at her relaxed stance, encouraging her to be the playful Kristen, a facet that I adored.”

Followed with: “I was amused at how she can be so much like her alter ego Bella at times, specifically, a strong dislike for being the center of attention. The constant round of events for the press and Twilight fans during our short European jaunt through London, Munich and Paris has caused her to be visibly uncomfortable.”

Truly Stephenie Meyer, author of Twilight, has unleashed a flood of creative expression that has inspired numerous fans to go outside the boundaries of reading, and into the realm of script writing.

Imagine, you start reading Twilight, then move on to New Moon and Eclipse. And next thing you know, you’re buried in the pages of Breaking Dawn. Not long afterward, you’ll find yourself scouring the web for Midnight Sun.

I don’t know about you, but it looks like a lot of people have been bitten by the creative writing vampire… I mean, bug.

I always love to write about all the different kind of interest topics. I do not have a favorite topic in mind, but I really enjoy writing about just almost anything right now. I’m starting an online business and writing about various topics. I have been known to write about credit cards, insurance, Spanish, English, Chinese, Japanese, French, Italian, German and other languages. I speak several different languages and currently I’m going to school for a bachelors.

When I’m done with school. I will continue to do SEO work and wright various articles. I enjoy, writing articles, because I’m able to learn more about the topics that I’m not very familiar with. Of course I have to learn about the topics first and research on the internet, and then I am able to go about and write about what I have learned on that topic. For example, if I am learning or if I am going to write an article about such topic. First I go online and I research, that topic. Sometimes it takes, me, several minutes because I am somewhat familiar with it already. It depends, though how good you’re with the topic. Sometimes it might take me an hour or more to learn about the topic. Either way, I am continuing my education.

I look at all kinds of sites. I like to look at sites like yahoo answers, Google News, Yahoo news, CNN, Fox news, press releases and other reference materials. Anyway, after I have researched the topic well and that I can write something from off the top of my head. To give you an example this time I will write about visa credit card. Then, I write this is down in front of my computer and I begin typing. I’d like to type out then run through it once again to make sure it flows nicely and check for grammatical errors. In the article I will be sure to include useful information to readers, about visa credit card . After that I’m done.

Then I am done. I will set the article side and maybe wait a few hours, sometimes the day and I’ll get back to it later with fresh eyes and a good night’s sleep, and I’ll see the article, and again review it for any errors or any changes or anything. I like to see if it might sound better if it were put in other words, sometimes more precise and condensed. Then I’m ready to publish what I wrote, so I find the place where I want to publish it, and I submit the article. They’ll review after it’s finished and that’s about all then. It. Usually its accepted and I can go on in the next topic of choice. After the readers have the information, about visa credit card, then they can make a smart choice.

How much can pollution really affect fertility? More and more people are asking that question on the small island village of Bahraini, located in the Persian Gulf.

During the prior 20 years, their surrounding environment has been the target of major changest, triggered, in large part, by the Gulf War in the early nineties.

As a direct result of the war, the surrounding sea and lands became contaminated. The Iraqi military forces in Kuwait opened the valves at the Sea Island oil terminal near Kuwait City and released large quantities of crude oil into the Gulf, polluting the waters. In addition, the many uranium-enriched bombs dropped by U.S. contaminated both the surrounding waters and land.

Now, 19 years later, it seems that Bahraini men in their twenties and thirties are experiencing conception problems with their wives.

And now, Dr. Isa Amin, a Bahraini urologist, has come forward with data showing that the number of his male patients who are experiencing infertility has risen drastically. From the average of two cases per month a decade ago, he is now seeing an average of 11 patients per month with fertility problems.

Infertility can be caused by a number of things. Heredity, disease, accidents, bodily defects, and more. But with the living environment having changed in such a major way, it’s not a huge leap to suspect it of being the main culprit.

Dr. Amin first begin to suspect scale of the problem when he noticed an abnormally large number of his male patients with zero semen. It’s now recognized in the scientific community that exposure to certain chemicals that are present in the home, diet, and general environment can affect fertility.

Unfortunately, the people in this small area don’t have many real options. It’s extremely difficult to purify Uranium contaminated water on this scale. And even though, based on his patient’s results, Dr. Amin is requesting that more research be done into examining the effects of environmental pollution on fertility rates in his community. But, it’s unlikely that enough could be done to affect the welfare of the patients currently under his care.
