Dell has unveiled new Z series laptops
today with models including the 14z and the 15z. Both machines
feature many of the same options and differ mostly in screen size.
The 15z
is a 15.6-inch machine and the 14z is a 14-inch screen.
Both
laptops are very thin with a profile about an inch thick and both
have 16:9 aspect ratio displays. CPU options in the notebooks include
Intel Pentium Core 2 Solo ULV, Core 2 and Core 2 Duo processors.
Storage for the systems is up to 500GB with 7,200 rpm
drives.
“People who want mobility, value, great performance
and easy Internet access have made Inspiron our most popular consumer
brand,” said Glen Robson, general manager Dell consumer laptops.
“These new, thin, lighter-weight systems offer all-day performance
with the latest Intel power-saving processors.”
Other
features of the machines include up to 8GB of DDR3 RAM, Wi-Fi is
standard, and mobile broadband modems are optional. Dell offers a
choice of standard 4 or 6-cell batteries good for four hours and
eight hours respectively or express charge 4 and 6-cell batteries
that can be charged to 80% capacity in only an hour.
Pricing
for the 15z and 14z notebooks start at $599 and they are available in
stores starting today in America and will hit other countries in the
coming weeks.
Dell also pulled the wraps off a new
Studio XPS 8000 desktop PC offering Intel
Core i5 Quad Core and Core i7 Quad core parts.
