Dell Inspiron Mini 9 Reviewed: Refining the Netbook Market

Ah-ha! Dell's Learning from Apple: I Can Has Bags?

Remember what I wrote in my MacBook Air review?

"If you want to even attempt to carry accessories with the Air, you'll need a standard notebook bag which is designed for much larger systems - partially defeating the purpose of having such a thin and light notebook.

While I'd like to see Apple step to the plate and offer a case worthy of the Air, there is a great opportunity for a clever third party manufacturer to make something efficient for carrying the Air and its accessories around. "

Dell did the right thing with the Mini; it partnered with Timbuk2 and offers a handful of Mini-specific bags to carry it around in. I'm not sure the bags are as necessary with the Mini given how rugged it is, but it's a nice addition on Dell's part. All of the bags pictured here are $30.
