Finally after months of wait Dell today launched the Inspiron 9 (or Inspiron Mini). The 2.28 lbs device is an ideal internet buddy for surfing, shopping and chatting and connects teens, tweens, travelers and “Tweeters” to their online world. The 8.9" machine starts at $349 as against the originally claimed price of $299, and offers decent specification which is more than enough to meet your business needs on the road.
