I won’t post technical specifications here - there are tons of reviews about Dell Mini 12 already. I want to share the details that you will not find anywhere else, especially given that you can hardly find it in the shops to try it yourself but can buy it only online. Particularly, the size and weight with the 6-cell battery, keyboard and trackpad comparison to other models, performance under Windows XP (browsing and say Photoshoping) compared to  notebooks with budget or older processor, and other factors that led me to choose Dell Mini 12.

Inspiron Mini 12 is still on sale in Canada ($100 off+free shipping) on Dell’s site but don’t expect to get it fast - mine, ordered on Jan 12 hasn’t yet arrived since they have to order it from US.
