“Dell’s latest netbook cum sub-notebook boasts the latest AMD
technology and dual boots with Ubuntu. We’re still in shock, but
have pulled ourselves together long enough to bring you a full
review.

“Pros: Great hardware for the money, amazing keyboard and
speakers, generally excellent build quality. Comes bundled with
Ubuntu Light

“Cons: Comes bundled with Windows, brightness and contrast
aren’t the strongest, screen tilt hampered slightly by the chassis
design

“The Dell Inspiron M101z straddles the line between notebook and
netbook classes, creating a solid, all-round system that takes the
best of both words and weeds out most of the chaff.”
