Dell announced an & Performance Plus& version of its Inspiron Mini 10 netbook, including a 1366 x 768 display, a Broadcom & Crystal HD& media accelerator, and a six-cell battery.

The Ubuntu-ready Mini 10 also gets up to 9.5 hours of battery life, the company says.Dell’s first Mini 10 ran on Intel’s “Silverthorne” Atoms, the Z520 (1.33GHz) or Z530 (1.6GHz). In December, however, the system was upgraded to the newly announced “Pineview” Atom, the N450. Although clocked about the same as the Z530 at 1.66GHz, the N450 saves on space and power consumption by incorporating a memory controller and graphics core, the GMA 3150.

Dell claimed at the time that the revised Mini 10 would get up to 9.5 hours of battery life with an optional six-cell battery. Also touted was a redesigned keyboard with sculpted keys and “a textured, smudge-resistant palm rest.” according to Dell.
