Round Rock, Texas-based Dell, one of the world's leading vendors of personal computer systems, has recently updated its product portfolio with the addition of a new portable PC, part of the company's growing line of Inspiron laptops. The new model, dubbed Inspiron 13z, is part of the PC vendor's new line of Inspiron Z series of ultra-thin laptops, which the company debuted back in August with the launch of the 11z model. The new addition comes to provide users with an ultra-portable, lightweight PC that packs the performance specifications of Intel's latest CULV platform.

 

The new Dell Inspiron 13z laptop has been featured with a small-size 13.3-inch display that boasts a LED-backlit technology and a 1366 x 768 pixel resolution. The machine has been featured with an Intel Pentium Dual Core SU4100 processor, but can also be configured with a Core 2 Duo SU7300 CPU, both of which can be coupled with up to 6GB of RAM and the increasingly familiar GMA X4500MHD Intel integrated graphics.

 

The laptop also offers a choice for a better, GeForce G105M graphics card with 512MB of memory, providing end-users with a better graphics support. Additional features include a choice for a 250GB or a 320GB hard drive, a built-in DVD writer, Gigabit Ethernet, WiFi with optional Bluetooth, a 7-in-1 card reader and a choice for a 4-cell or an 8-cell battery pack. According to available details, choosing the latter will provide end-users with up to 11 hours and 23 minutes of runtime, which is pretty great for an ultraportable laptop.

 

As you can expect, the new Inspiron 13z laptop comes pre-loaded with Microsoft's latest Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit operating system and can already be ordered from Dell in UK.
