Dell's Inspiron Mini Nickelodeon Edition oozing out now for $329

If you've ever had a yearning for a slime covered netbook, today's your lucky day. Dell's Inspiron Mini Nickelodeon Edition -- which is absolutely SpongeBob-approved -- is now up for order starting at $329. As for specs, it's pretty much a standard Mini 10v underneath, with a 10.1-inch (1,024 x 600 resolution) display, Windows XP Home, 1GB of DDR2 RAM, a GMA950 graphics set, WiFi, 3-cell battery, 1.3 megapixel webcam and a totally played 1.6GHz Atom processor. Oh, and a slimed lid and palm rest, which are likely the one two aspects that truly matter here.

[Thanks, Simon]

i don't think spongebob even knows what a computer is.

There's going to be a disappointed kid out there somewhere that gets this instead of an Xbox360 or a PS3...

He hell kind of kid is going to be dissapointed by their very own computer?

I never even had a family computer until I was twelve, and didn't ger my own laptop til I was 16ohgodIsoundlikeanoldman...

If there were a Patrick one.....maybe.

Just effin' stop it with this XP bullshit!

*sighs*

[barry99705 Posted Oct 2nd 2009 9:28AM]

What's wrong with xp?

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 2nd 2009 9:34AM]

could have been worse...could have been Vista!

Anyone look at how many icons are in the bottom right corner. This is probably the most bloated netbook ever shipped.

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 2nd 2009 9:49AM]

lol! Just noticed that - and in 14-30 days after purchase they'll all pop-up asking you to pay for the full versions!

[aarond12 Posted Oct 2nd 2009 9:50AM]

I came here to say the exact same thing. Good GOD Dell!!! You want to guarantee your new laptop runs like shit, all for the almighty dollar (kickbacks from pre-loaded software vendors).

Dell is also the company that sold my (computer-ignorant) friend a laptop with 512MB RAM, shared video memory (which brought the RAM down to about 384MB), and Vista Home Basic. After the computer finally booted up, it took about 3 minutes to bring up the control panel. Good job, Dell. She's now an Apple fan.

Too bad it's full of the modern Nickelodeon garbage - where's our old shows like Salute Your Shorts, damnit?

And their new logo looks like rubbish as well - seriously, they've turned that channel into tween nonsense.

Seriously, I want some "You Can't Do That On Television" on there, or it's shi--- HEY, GET OFF MY LAWN YOU KIDS!

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 2nd 2009 9:33AM]

I saw the slime and thought You Can't Do That on Television!


Do you have any water?
I don't know.

uh-oh...

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 2nd 2009 9:42AM]

I wonder how many kids today who watch Nick even get the green slime reference.

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 2nd 2009 11:40AM]

wuh-wild and crazy kidssss

[Bronzus Posted Oct 2nd 2009 9:35AM]

So... why didn't they just release a skin?

[jhuster Posted Oct 2nd 2009 11:24AM]

So sad to see this with the "new" Nick logo. Blah.

[John Stracke Posted Oct 2nd 2009 11:55AM]

I'm reminded of a Sherman's Lagoon strip. Hawthorne the crab has bought a nuclear reactor kit. Fillmore looks at it. "Lil' Home Reactor?" Sherman: "Boy, that Spongebob will endorse anything.".

[sbeck14 Posted Oct 2nd 2009 1:32PM]

I don't see why anyone would want to pay $329 for a netbook when you can most likely get a better one for $250 or so. Oh wait, forgot about spongebob. I'll take 4

[Zangetsu Posted Oct 2nd 2009 5:56PM]

Please link me to a $250 netbook so I can buy it right now.

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 2nd 2009 7:06PM]

remember that Disney netbook ? was it from acer ?

[BlazeBlaster Posted Oct 2nd 2009 8:05PM]

Does it have like a sort of alert that tells me when Spongebob is on? In that case, i'll take 4
