"The Dell Inspiron Mini 9 falls well short of the MSI Wind and the HP 2133 Mini-Note because it doesn't offer an extended battery and large-enough storage options. And you'll have to punch in an E-Value code (1-DNDMXA1) to get this limited-time offer price of $399. Otherwise, the list price is the same as that of the Wind' ($474). For the average person who doesn't want to lug a 5-to-6 pound laptop (with its case and AC adapter) through airport security just to check e-mail, surf, and do some light Office tasks, a UMPC is a very viable solution. For now, that solution is the MSI Wind, but as prices come down, I'm expecting Dell to make this a close race."
