Was hoping for more info on 2GB, but the link brings up this message:

"We're Sorry. The page you requested may no longer exist on Dell.com"

I have done a search of the site and the web and have not found much more on 2GB installation, but I am sure that someone will document it sooner or later.

It's not a font issue. OS X was designed to work with a minimum resolution of 600 pixels tall. So anything less, you will see OS X interface items cut off. Luckily, most Apple controls create a scroll bar on the side when they overrun a screen less than 600 pixels. (you may have to close and reopen the program to get it to adjust to this new resolution).

But some software designers, of course, ignore the standards Apple sets for them, so their products require 768 minimum (just like some web designers set their default screen size too tall/wide for many machines). That means you can lose vital screen functionality.

I wish Apple would include a way to adjust the interface font size, but they don't. I don't believe it would alter the size of dialogue boxes though, just the fonts would be smaller in those boxes...

I've used switchResX on my mac-mini to change the display to fit a HDTV. Maybe this can be used to change the resolution of the mini 10? ... It can be downloaded at ...
Where can I download SwitchResX ?

Also, did the audio work for the mini 10 on mac os?

Thanks!

Then click on the Learn about the differences between the Mini 10 & Mini 10v. link.

They don't have the 2GB option when you customize your mini though

I noticed that. That's odd. They could be making a few more bucks on these machines, as almost everyone would order the 2GB option.

I am led to believe that upgrading by the user is pretty difficult, but not impossible . . . obviously. Several have already done it.

hmmm so the Mini 10 can be ordered with an HD screen (Glossy 10.1 inch HD display (1366x768) WLED), but not the 10v... I wonder why?

So they can roll it out in a month and make all the early adopters have to repurchase the machine.. heh.. I imagine someone could just order the higher res LCD panel from Dell's parts department, and swap it in.. It'd soooo be worth it.

I've used switchResX to set my mini9 display to 1024x768 in order to run iSale5. Then once the program started changed res to the native 1024x600 and used the resize button to make the window fit the 1024x600 screen. But when it was at the 1024x768 resolution you couldn't access the bottom of the screen below to 600 pixel line. So it can help but isn't that very ideal.

Can any create a tutorial or point me in the direction of a good tutorial for the Mini 10v to get everything working correctly... I'm about to order one an I wanna make sure I can get everything up and running easily, I'm a noob... I was gonna go with the 9 and use a RunCore and install on the RC from a Mac via USB, but with the 10v I don't wanna remove the HDD...
