Intel earlier today announced its next-generation Atom platform, and no sooner had the press release hit the news waves, Dell followed suit by being the first to announce a refreshed Mini 10 netbook lineup sporting the newly minted Atom N450 CPU.
Other updates to the Mini 10 include a new design with a choice between "a broad range of optional colors or hundreds of optional custom artwork designs," as well as a smudge-resistant palm rest and sculpted keys, and longer battery life with up to 9.5 hours of run time (with optional 6-cell battery).
Other specs include a 10.1-inch display with standard (1024 x 600) or HD (1366 x 768) resolution, 1GB of memory, choice between 160GB or 250GB hard drive, and choice between Windows 7 Starter, Windows XP Home, or Ubuntu.
Dell says you can expect the redesigned Mini 10 to be available in early January starting out at $299.
