Hi Moish. I realise you asked this question several years ago and you probably don't even use the Mini 10 anymore, but I thought I would answer, in case anyone else has one lying around. I have found the mini 10 to be a robust and reliable machine. I bought mine in 2010, refurbished, from Dell and have only had to replace the battery: I bought a six cell one two years ago which has proved to be excellent, and it only cost me £40 (maybe $55). It is not a speed machine. It has an old-style Atom processor and on-board graphics and, while it was okay with Windows XP, it never really worked with W7. Instead, I have used a variety of Linux OSs, settling upon Lubuntu. Everything works (you need an ethernet connection for the installation as you have to download and activate the WiFi driver after installing the OS) and it is a remarkably efficient writing and browsing machine. It boots in under a minute and the screen still looks amazingly good: one of the advantages of an old-style TFT screen. I'm not crazy about...
