The units have performed pretty well one unit still running OSX SL the other XP media centre after installing win 8 and just found it to have to many problems went back to XP.

Still using mine...every so often. Running Ubuntu 10.10 on it. Windows was bogging the machine down making it slow, so I deleted it. Alas, though the machine is getting 'tired'...

Still going here looking to upgrade to WiFi N & may be new bat + playing with GPS @ mo.

When I need to take a PC with me it's the 9 also handy around the house for programming switches and routers.

I don't drive so 9" is the way to go.

The wwan is also dead handy

I Love My Dell Mini 9 that I had gotten 2 years ago and then I found this incredible forum. My Mini 9 has been through many renditions and is finally at home with the Jan 3 Chromium 18. I use this thing everywhere.

I recently started picking up dead Minis on Ebay and Craigslist and refurbing them for my college friends. These are great devices and an awesome community even today, years after the device was discontinued.

I still use mine everyday. I have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and it runs flawless and quick. The 32gb Runcore was a big improvement. I finally figured how to store all device backups and music on a 32gb SD card. Nothing stays on the SSD. I have tried XP on it once...man it was slow. This was made for OSX. I can watch Hulu movies on it and everything I want to do. I replaced the heat pads with copper shims and thin heat . It runs cooler longer and hasn't gone above 67 degrees C yet. The keyboard gets hotter though.

Hi Guys....this is my first post with my Mini9!

I'm used to having a 17" Alienware laptop at home as a desktop replacement / gaming machine but i picked the Mini9 up from eBay for about $95 in really good condition, fully working, as something to take overseas with us. I'm hoping to take a small passport HDD and download our holiday photos using the Mini9 as we travel. I've had it for about a week and already replaced the RAM with a 2GB stick and the HDD to a 32GB SDD. I would have loved to put in the 64GB SDD but this is my exercise in refurbing a great little machine as cost effectively as i can.

I bought the Mini9 with XP Pro SP3 on it but it was a little slow so i put Win7 yesterday but i can't seem to get any of the features (wifi/bluetooth/camera) to work yet so might have to switch back to XP or try Ubuntu. I also picked up a car charger fairly cheaply from ebay $6 delivered, targus case $6 delivered & a skin $5 delivered. Considering how light the whole machine is, and its size, the fact yiou can easily carry it in a backpack or handbag i'm really looking forward to seeing how mobile its going to be when we are overseas

Hi,

bought my Vostra A90 / Mini9 3 years ago, and upgraded it this week to 2GB RAM and 32GB RunCoreSSD.
Just installed Mac OS 10.6.3 on it: Can not play HD Videos (;-) , but for surfing, watching other videos and typing its working quite fast.

Still using 2 mini 9s at home every day, one for surfing/torrents, other for watching movies. What else with a keyboard could I put in the small spaces available in front of large external monitors?
