    The Dell Inspiron Mini 9 has been reviewed with the supplied Ubuntu and it looks very promising!
    http://www.notebookreview.com/default.asp?newsID=4578

    - The footprint is small as the standard model only comes with 4GB
    - The 32Wh battery lasts for over 3 hours; for AAO's 22Wh that would mean over 2 hours (edit: this calculation is flawed..)
    - Recovery from suspend is almost as fast as my MacBook Pro (shown in video)
    - Boot time is around 20 seconds

    Most likely audio and card reader will still not work properly though..

    Let's hope the recovery DVD/CD leaks to the internet soon!!

    EDIT
    Maybe we should keep an eye out on this page:
