It’s here!

Exactly one month ago I wrote about The $200 ‘Mac’ — a new all-black, business-oriented version of the eminently-hackable Dell Mini 9 netbook called the Vostro A90. After writing about the new hackintoshable netbook I placed an order for one of the little black beauties and it arrived this week. Yes, it takes a solid month to get a netbook from Dell (a stock configuration, mind you). What’s up with that?

I posted a gallery of 13 pictures of the new Vostro A90, including some comparison shots between it and the Dell Mini 9 and some internal shots of the SSD and RAM slots as part of the migration process. Captions at 11…

Note: It looks like Dell has raised the price of the Vostro A90 significantly, with prices now starting at $294 (after a $30 instant rebate). I hope that you grabbed one when they were $200! Lower prices can be found or returned/refurbed netbooks at the Dell Outlet.
