Dell Mini 9 Up for Auction

A few months ago I upgraded from my Mini 9 to a Mini 10v. The Mini 9 is a great machine, but I don’t use it anymore and could use the money. As such I’ve posted the Mini 9 up on eBay for sale. You can find all of the details on the listing.

I held on to it for so long because it actually has a little sentimental value to me. It was my first netbook, and my first real “hackintosh” (I hate that word). It served me so well up until I upgraded, otherwise I would still be using it today. I wrote many of my beginning guides on its somewhat cramped keyboard, and without it I wouldn’t be in the glorious world of Mac OS X so heavily as I am today.

Feel free to bid on it. And as a bonus for those reading on this blog, I still have the Apple logo pasted over the Dell Logo on the lid, I can keep it there if you want and you are the winning bidder. :)

    How X-capable is the 10V compared to the mini 9? Maybe I will be following in your footsteps with my 9…

    The 10v is superior in full hardware support. What I mean is, currently all hardware is enabled on either Leopard or Snow Leopard. That includes sound, which the mini 9 is still struggling on SL. (It’s being worked on, though.)

    That’s really all that pertains to OS X.

    As for reasons why I like the Mini 9 better, it is smaller (nice for carrying around) and has a SSD (so it can fall and I don’t worry about data loss.) But I personally found the 10v a better fit for my writing and workload. So there are reasons for both.
