This a deal I read on Engadget that is based of the Direct2Dell blog.

Jay Pinkert direct2dell.com said:If you can wait until 6 a.m. Central tomorrow, Sept. 5, you’ll be able to get a Mini for only $99 with the purchase of a Studio 15, XPS M1530 or XPS M1330 laptop through 6 a.m. Tuesday, Sept. 9 (U.S. only).

The actual deal ends on Sept. 8 6am CST

Here is the deal from Dell

Dell Link

Not as good as it could be so maybe not uber hot but its nice if you plan on getting one of the mentioned laptops anyway.

probably they'll jack up the price of Dell studio 15 m1530 and m1330 by that time to compensate the differece.

It's Dell's version of a mini computer, similar to the ASUS EeeeeeePC and MSI Wind.

heheheh !

This is like one of those deals when you buy a new gas guzzler Dodge, you get a tiny Neon free deal !
Except, both things sold here are actually much more desirable than Dodge !

Of course I did! Hey, thanks for your help! This is the first time I ever blogged, now I know why. I guess there is such a thing as a stupid question, sorry I am slow in this are. I just thought maybe there were nice people out there to help slow people like me. Now I know.

Can I just return the studio and keep the mini? That would be hot.

On a completely unrelated note, I had a dream it was Black Friday and I forgot to camp out.

What are the specs of the mini 9?

Its got a 1.6ghz Atom N270 processor, just like every other netbook. 512 or 1gb or ram, 4/8/16gb SSD drive, 802.11g, and either no webcam / 0.3mp cam / 1.3mp cam. Comes wither either a Dell-customized Ubuntu 8.04 build, or XP.

$349 for Ubuntu/512/4gb/no camera
$399 for Ubuntu/512/8gb/0.3 webcam
$449 for XPHome/1gb/8gb/1.3 webcam

Each base model can be tweaked and customized, which is normal for Dell but unusual for a netbook.

So which of those models is the $99 Mini 9 model that comes with the purchase of a laptop? I'm assuming, to be safe, that it's the $349 model...?

OK, ill help the new kid... the deal does not start until tomorrow. Everyone is yelling at you because thats pretty clearly written in both the title and the actual post, and if you had simply read before you asked people for help you would have realized. People here are generally pretty helpful, but yes, there are such things as stupid questions, and some people tend to be annoyed by them.

Let me say it again: --> There is no deal yet because it does not start until tomorrow at 6 AM. <--
