The Inspiron 10v is the budget-priced $299 netbook. The Inspiron 10 is
$499.

The 10v uses the older N270 CPU. The 10 uses the newer Z530 and (I
think) a newer Intel chipset. They run at the same clock speed, with
the same front side bus. The Z530 has Intel's virtualization
technology. Neither CPU is 64-bit. The 10 has a built-in TV tuner and
a bigger battery. The rest of the specs appear to be the same.

Do you need virtualization to run two operating systems or two copies of
an OS? Probably not. Do you want a TV tuner? Maybe.

What is the build quality like? I do not know. Maybe someone can
describe the construction of each. They look pretty much alike per the
photos on the Dell web site... Ben Myers

So what is better for 200 dollars?

Don't worry about it.
I think getting back to your question, tell us what you want to do and
we'll probably be in a better position to help you.

Some individuals have literal thought processes...they are perfectly
normal.
They may think faster than the average...and they may be more honest,
IMO.

Caution: they may tend to be boring (present company may or may not be
included 8^} )

I am looking for a device that is light enough so I'll carry it arounf (I
have a 5+ pound Inspiron 5000 at work that is too heavy) from which I can
run powerpoints, get email, do web browsing and run applicaitons remotely
via Citrix

I was looking for
-battery life
-weight
-price (if the unit is too expensive, I afraid to take it too many places-
loosing a 300-400 dollar device is much different than loosing a 2500 dollar
laptop)
