The whole lid assembly may not fit, but he may be able to mod his 910 lid to fit the larger LCD, no?

I'm not sure about that. When I was taking a look at them both before I got rid of my Mini 9, it seemd like the display was just too wide..

There isnt much room inside the display cover either and I dont see it happening. There would be some serious modifying going on.

Hiya - send it my way?

Looking for a Dell Mini 9 to hackintosh - I have a HP Mini 2133 & also wants to see if the 8.9" 1280x768 screen works in the Dell!

Would it work?
Would it be plug and play?
Are the connectors the same?
Would the firmware or OS have to be modified?

I am considering making a dell mini 9 based tablet, so fitting the screen wouldn't be an issue as I would have to make a new case anyways. I think the higher resolution would make OSX much more usable.
