Maxis Broadband Ready Dell Inspiron Mini-9
By: karenmarie

You know, because of all these online shops that are available right now, I spend so much time online, its insane! My email is like my life and if I don’t check it for a day, the next day, it will be filled with so man emails. My regular blog reads are too important to check everyday (super kepoh). Not forgetting the daily Facebooking checking out the events to attend and once again kepoh checking out friend’s pictures and status updates.
And omg, who can live without MSN? I will die without connecting with my friends. Plus, we all live in this fast paced-google world where we need information at our finger tips. You know, whenever I really need some information, the first thing I think of is, “I need to google it!”. HAHA, its true. I google everything.
I get withdrawal symptoms when I don’t go online for a day. It is like a disease that I caught and it won’t go away. I’m addicted to going online, its so sad. That is why I lug my PSP (in my handbag) all over the place hoping to get a wifi signal, but PSP being so small and the system is so slow, nothing beats a computer. I do have a giant laptop at home with me. When I say giant, I really mean it. It is a 15+inch laptop and 2.9 kgs. Whenever I carry it around, sure back pain wan -___-
So, when I was given the opportunity to try this really slim and sleek, not to mention SUPER SMALL notebook for a week, boy was I impressed:) (Now, my itchy hands wants to get a hold of it too!!)
Maxis Broadband Ready Dell Inspiron Mini-9 is so small and cute, it can fit into my handbag of total junk nicely and still does not make my handbag look fat. Lookie:

Inside bag with wallet, camera, organizer, etc etc

Size comparison:The leopard printed leaflet is actually A4 in size.
It is small, only 9 inches and so portable as it is very light. Only 1.035kg. Some of our handbags are heavier than one kg, trust me:) It is also in a sleek white colour that would match any outfit that you have on everyday. It was so convenient for me during my one week love affair with my Maxis Broadband Ready Dell Inspiron Mini-9. I carried it around everywhere.
The whole of last week was a super busy week for me. I had to attend the Malaysian International Fashion Week, work meetings and also presentations and group meetings at college. Not to mention, yum cha sessions with my friends to catch up. Everywhere I went, I brought my Maxis Broadband Ready Dell Inspiron Mini-9 with me. It was so convenient and I was connected with my friends from all over the world on MSN. Facebook was also in my bookmark *grins*.
In between events and meetings, I could shop online. While I was waiting for another show at MIFW at Starbucks, I was browsing through MOFSD and actually found a few stuff that I liked and straightaway made a custom order necklace from Handmade Goodies4u!
Just a few days ago, I got my order. The joy of online shopping!
The connection at Mid Valley was uber fast too. You can check Maxis Broadband for their coverage, but so far, I’ve been online at Pusat Bandar Damansara, The Curve, Mid Valley, PJ, Kepong, Jinjang and even on the road while it was jam and it was uber fast!
The connection is super fast, you don’t even have to search for the wifi signal all over Starbucks! All you have to do is on the notebook, wait for it to load and then, you will see this screen:

It says connected to High Speed connection!:)
You don’t have to attach any external broadband modem or search high and low for wifi signal. It is all built in and it is as simple as clicking the icon and enabling the broadband access. So fast and convenient! I was in touch with the latest happenings of my friends at the click of a finger
Here’s what I did with my mini-9 during my one week love affair with the Maxis Broadband Ready Dell Inspiron Mini-9:

During the girls day out with gorgeous bloggers

Eating while shopping online

On a normal day geeking with spongebob on my couch. Even Spongebob is bigger than the mini-9

Size comparison with a 32inch TV. I used it to connect to my TV to watch movies also. How convenient

It kept me company while i was stuck in a bumper to bumper traffic jam in the heart of the city

Yum cha session with friends on Friday night

Getting ready for MIFW 2008 on Saturday.
All good things come to and end when I had to part with my Maxis Broadband Ready Dell Inspiron Mini-9. Omg, I so want one!
