Full FeedDell Mini 10 netbook limited to 1GB of RAM, no upgrading possible
According to the Direct2Dell blog, the Dell Mini 10 “packs a punch” but that is not going to be in terms of maximum allowed RAM. It turns out that the Mini 10 will ship with “1GB fixed RAM” which means that you cannot decide to upgrade it at a later time. The reason behind the 1GB upon shipping is due to the netbook licensing requirements that they have with Microsoft. That part is understood, however they are not required to have the RAM fixed.
Granted, Windows XP, or Ubuntu for that matter will run (in most cases) just fine with 1GB of RAM, but why limit yourself when you don’t have to, especially when a RAM upgrade is so inexpensive nowadays. I upgraded my Eee PC 1000H to 2GB of RAM for under $30. Personally, if you are considering a 10-inch netbook purchase, this is great reason to avoid the Mini 10 and look towards another manufacturer such as Asus or Acer.
