    The DELL Outlet website has about 90 Inspiron Mini 9 systems available with XP Home. These are all "Previously Ordered New", so they're not refurbished and have never been used. They come with the same full one year warranty also.

    The prices start at $349 ($50 less than the same configuration on the regular Dell site). The Outlet usually ships within 2 business days, in my experience, so you'll get it quicker than the regular site, too. :D

    ***The link only takes you to the Inventory Search page. Find the Stockrooms drop down menu and select 'Laptops', then for Model choose Inspiron Mini 9- 910, click Filter Results to see available inventory.

    I think I saw like 15 off coupon for Inspiron systems on Slickdeals yesterday, wonder if it's still good/will work on a Mini?

    NM, it's the only 1525. :p

    picked one up with everything that can be shoved into these things for $409 which would have been $494. not too bad when factoring in the lower tax. they also gave me next day shipping for $12 instead of $16. now i can buy that $4 cup of starbucks coffee so i can put it next to the mini 9 and take some pictures. yeah!
