Dell chose to ship Linux on the Mini 9, and so they were not required to plaster Windows stickers all over the case.

They made up for this sticker deficit with a useless sticker that reads just "Inspiron M series" (or something approximating that). My mind boggles at the decision process behind that.

Removing this sticker, I scratched the case of my new laptop. I also spent about 20 minutes scrubbing off the evil glue they used, which spread everywhere.

I had hoped the white power LED on this laptop would be less eye-searingly painful than the blue leds that were trendy before.

It is, but it's also right on the front of the laptop, which is often in a direct line of site to the screen. In any dim enviroment, the LED is still brighter than the screen.

I fixed this by applying some electrician's sticky tape to the case. Obviously, I can't win.
