December 23rd, 2008 12 Comments » » 3,206 views

I’ve always been a fan of netbooks, those tiny laptops with screen sizes in the range of 9-10 inches. My client got me one last year as a token of appreciation for my job and I’ve been in love with it ever since. With my mobile phone as my internet modem and unlimited Maxis 3G, I thought I had one of the most portable internet setups.

Internet on the go.

Till the Dell Mini Inspiron 9 with built-in Maxis Broadband Modem hits the market, that is. I love this netbook! It’s got a built-in Maxis Broadband Modem which eliminates the need to use my mobile phone as a modem. You have no idea how much more portability you can get without the clunky phone.

Of course, to me the best part of this netbook is the amazing portability of Dell Mini Inspiron 9. Its secret to this mobility feature is the built-in Maxis Broadband Modem. The almost weightless SIM card that enables the Maxis Broadband internet connection is tucked at the back of the laptop.
