Dell seems to be trying very hard to make the Mini 9 appeal to buyers this holiday season. Although not the cheapest, the Mini 9 is quite afforadble as the range starts at $349. It comes pre-loaded with either Ubuntu Linux or Windows XP Home depending on your choice. Last week, we saw new lid design (solid colors + artwork) options for Inspiron Mini 9, which does give them a edge (design wise).

To improve the Mini 9 further, Dell is now offering 32GB SSD option for buyers who need that kind of storage on their netbooks. Of course, it does set you back by $100 but that's expected from Dell. Hopefully some discount promotions are in the pipeline for Mini 9 to make it a better deal. C'mon Dell, we know you can do it!
