Laptopmag received a Dell Mini 12 and decided to put it through some tests and find out what was so good about a 12″ netbook.  The verdict isn’t as good as you’d like it to be.
On the positive side, with a larger screen you have space to surf the web, read email and all of the other great things you’ll be doing with your netbook.  Instead of the usual 1024 x 600 resolution, you’ll be browsing at 1280 x 800.  As you’d imagine it’s thin and light.  Maybe not Apple …

In many circles, bigger is better (insert your own joke here).  Dell joined the netbook party late in the game but they’re making up for it in a big way with their recent announcement of the Dell Mini 12.  With it’s 12-inch screen it bring a lot of focus on what makes netbooks a great value.
