This exceeds the 1280 x 720 resolution requirement for 720p, so Dell can legitimately call this an HD display. On Dell.com (USA) the upgrade costs $35, well-worth the price in my opinion. The Dell UK site says their displays are "TrueLife" displays, which neither Dell USA or Dell Canada mentions, so I'm not sure if this is something only available in the UK, or if all the Mini 10 displays around the world are TrueLife displays.</p>

HAHA, Squidy here, (J.Waterhouse) claiming my title as the 'tip off'. ;)

Anyway I think the 'True Life' is just a marketing tactics in the UK.

I'm pretty sure I was one of the first (UK) to order it as it only just became available as I ordered, anyway I keep you posted as it arrives.

Now if only they offered a 6-cell version on their UK website and Bluetooth wasn't a £30 extra, we'd have the perfect netbook.

If the dimensions on the Dell website are anything to go by, it's almost as big as my Thinkpad X61. Not a very small netbook then.

It's quite average for a 10 inch netbook. It's a bit deeper than the HP Mini 1000, maybe by an inch.
