Score 9.0/10

Good points:: Just the right size to provide a decent screen image but small enough to tuck away for easy access when needed. Really good performance for the price.
Bad points:: I needed to contact Dell support but found it a nightmare. I eventually sorted out the problem myself.

Score 8.0/10

Good points:: Its small like a netbook but has a larger hard drive than most netbooks plus a 2gb ram rather than the limited 1gb ram in the others. So it can be used for more than just browsing the net. You can also work with MS office applications etc. The design an colour is just what I was looking for.
Bad points:: Reviewer left no comment

Here’s a list of the questions other shoppers have asked owners of the Dell Inspiron M101z

Can you play dvd's on it? What i mean is, is there a slot for cd's or dvd's . Many Thanks .

Mared asked on 28 Apr 2011
1. In common with most if not all small laptops there is NOT a CD/DVD player on this netbook. If you need to load from a CD or DVD you will need to connect an external player via a USB port. There just isn't room in this size computer to squeeze a DVD player into it.
