We have already posted a review on the new Dell Mini 10 a while ago but Sebastian Jentsch at Notebookcheck posted a lot more in-depth review of the Dell Mini 1012. He thinks the Dell Inspiron Mini 1012 with Broadcom Crystal HD chip for decoding HD videos achieved remarkable battery life playing 720p videos with up to 5.5 hours so you can expect about 10 hours of battery life doing more basic tasks which is very impressive even for a netbook. The Dell Mini 1012 also features another rare option found in other netbooks an HD 1366 x 768 screen that also produces vivid and bright picture. We personally are also impressed with an unusual chassis design. Thumbs up to Dell for trying something new.
