FYI,

I'm returning my Mini 12 for a refund after experiencing keyboard problems.  I was sent a replacement keyboard that did not fix the problem.

After installing the new keyboard and having it not work, Dell's technical support staff told me it was an operating system issue.  Mind you, this is your pre-installed Ubuntu OS we're talking about.

I'm not convinced it was an OS issue, but it's certainly a real possiblity.

Others may have had better luck with this device, but mine never worked properly.

 

Regards.
