Congratulations Mum, it’s a Dell Mini Notebook
This is my new little baby.
Isn’t she cute?
She’s really dinky. Almost too small to have been taken from her mother.
And she’s purple!
I didn’t want to get anything that looked remotely like it was a work tool. This is all about play and portability.
Having lugged my work laptop across the central business district of Melbourne it does not meet my definition of ‘portable’.
I wanted something that I could grab and tuck under my arm when I go to my Tuesday craft catch up with the girls.
I wanted instant portability without lots of cables.
I wanted a power pack that doesn’t weigh as much as the machine itself.
I wanted something lightweight enough that I won’t get fed up carrying it about when I go to Europe next week.
My baby comes with a Bluetooth wireless mouse because I hate those touchpad thingys. As with all babies there was a little teething trouble in the beginning but I found a little pacifier to stick in a USB port and the teething problems went away.
I’ve bought a cute little purple outfit for her to keep her warm when she’s having a sleep.
Just think of the digital scrapbook layouts and ATCs we can make together.
Did I mention that she’s purple?
Everyone say, “Aaahhhh!”
Stumble it!

I’ve been eyeing off a netbook as well but didn’t like the Asus ones. It seems they only come in bland White, Black, Brown or crazy hot pink. This purple one is exactly what I’m after! Looks great, going to give Dell a call tomorrow

Wow that is very cute. I want to get a new netbook but they are still a bit too expensive for me. Maybe for christmas, I hope!.

Thank you Betsson. I’m currently cruising down the Rhine Gorge in Germany and sipping a hot chocolate whilst I catch up on my email and upload my photos. My baby is a great travel companion.

Cool, it’s a nice area. If you are there you have to visit Cologne, too. It’s really beautiful.

She truly is gorgeous. I’ve been on a river cruise over the last two weeks and she has been a wonderful traveling companion.

I’ve been in dire need of a netbook for updating my blog and doing some reading. Something like this might fit the bill.
The color is lovely, but I’m a bit more of a green girl. Maybe a pearlescent green?
Congratulations. I hope the two of you have a long and fruitful relationship.
