New Dell Mini 10 1018 fanless!

Post by Phantom3D » Sat Jan 08, 2011 2:33 pm

Hi guys, I just wanted to add that the Dell mini 10 1018 is fan-less, and with an SSD it is a stealth machine!
Only thing I can hear now is a very low noise from the speaker (Yes mono).

It does not matter whether I plug in headphones or mute the sound. But the noise is very low, not bothering me.

This laptop has the Atom 450 single core 1.66, and it gets a bit hotter than the fan-cooled ones. Anyway, it is not a problem having it on your lap.

Performance-wise it is as normal net-books. It can handle several browser windows, some music, movies, 480p youtube. I think it is quite expensive compared to the new dual-core N550 net-books, but fanless makes it worth it!

Battery is very good, getting about 7 hours on Ubuntu Notebook remix, witch by the way works very well.
