Dell Mini 9 Netbook Modded Into A Tablet PC Running Windows 7

Gadgeteer Rob928 over at mydellmini has modded the hell out of his Dell Mini 9, converting it to a tablet PC. He worked his magic with a solderless touchscreen kit, and the results are quite frankly astounding.

He needed to strip off the lid and trim the hinges as part of the process. One technological challenge faced by the modder comes from a heating issue, one we noted in our Dell Mini 9 review – this little netbook vents heat through its keyboard, and with the screen upside down, it can get a little toasty.

Furthermore, he booted it with Windows 7. Nice!
