If you're in the market for a regular $369 (with Dell's DNDOAN8 e-vaule code) 10-inch Pine Trail netbook sans HD capabilities, the Dell Mini 10 turns out to be a middle of the road player. When it comes to thinness, ergonomics and even overall performance, it isn't as compelling as the Toshiba Mini NB305, and though its battery life is solid, it doesn't compare to the Eee PC 1005PE. But what if you're looking for a netbook that can handle HD content? Well, it's still not a perfect solution, considering the Broadcom Crystal HD accelerator only plays back content in Windows Media Player and doesn't yet offer Flash support. And then there's the fact that even when that's all available end users will have to make their own software adjustments. So, if you're looking for a more versatile and hassle-free HD experience, we'd have to recommend an Ion netbook like the $399 HP Mini 311 or $499 ASUS Eee PC 1201N, at least until we can test flash and there's more software support for Broadcom.
