Dell Latitude Z -- 16-inch ultra-thin, ultra-light laptop
Released today, Dell's Latitude Z boasts a full 16-inch, 1,600 x 900 pixel display but is just 1.25cm thick and weighs only 2kgs.
It's also the world's first laptop with optional inductive charging -- that means no power cables. Instead, you have a dynamic power transfer from the Latitude's primary stand and its secondary module (I know that sounds as clear as mud, but that's all the detail available right now).
Other top features include Dell’s EdgeTouch to allow users to interact with commonly used applications and media controls through a touch interface that is on the edge of the system’s screen, a two megapixel camera featuring Dell Capture technology that allows users to scan and save business cards to Microsoft Outlook contacts and copy documents, and Dell FaceAware Lock-Out to automatically lock out other users when a user steps away from the laptop.
The Latitude Z also ships with WLAN, Bluetooth and optional 3G WWAN mobile broadband.
The laptop has a soft-touch Black Cherry finish and is available today in New Zealand starting at $3,645. More details are available at dell.co.nz/latitude.
