Well after what seemed like forever. I received my Dell Mini 9 last Wednesday (April 22), I ordered it on May 8. First thing I did was install a 2GB sodimm. Dell did a great job with making this netbook very user upgradeable by putting all upgradeable components under one panel. While some people have had success running Mac OS 10.5 on their Mini (http://gizmodo.com) I opted for Ubuntu 9.04 netbook remix initially. I truly feel Ubuntu has a ton to offer (heck dell installs it as an option on the Mini 9) I am not 100% sold it is for me. I am now dual booting my Mini between XP and Ubuntu. I installed Photoshop CS4 mainly to see how it would run and was very pleasantly surprised it runs well. I ran the Photoshop benchmark from Retouch Artists took 3 minutes 18 seconds. I am now considering blowing my Ubuntu away to gain the disk space (I upgraded the SSD but only to 32gb), I want to install some of the other CS4 apps just to see how well they will work. All in all I am very happy with this little guy, I will be taking a trip to San Diego real soon so I will but this guy thought the paces with a little video playback on the flight. Below are some pictures:
