    So, I just got the latest issue of the Dell home magazine in the mail today. I was thumbing through like I always do, and happened to spot something different on the "system/brand overview" pages. (pages 4 and 5)

    Among the inspiron systems, the mini 9 and 10 were listed along with the new Inspiron 15. Just to make sure I wasnt missing things, i turned to the pages describing the minis and the 12 was nowhere to be found. :(

    It's a shame too, as I really liked the looks of the 12. :(

    Meh, just because they weren't featured in a magazine, I wouldn't jump to the conclusion that it's officially dead ;)

    Oh no :(
    One possibility is that dell isn't making much money on them because it has some nice(expensive) features for such a low selling price.

    Did you even read the rest of the thread? Dell is still selling them and have not made any announcement about getting rid of them. Just look at their website.

    The Mini 12 will never die, just like the XPS M1330 which should have been killed off by the 13. ;)
