Dell Inspiron M101z Laptop Is Light Weight and Cheap at $449
06.08.10
Dell has added a new ultra-portable laptop to its Inspiron line, the
M101z. Calling it a mix of brains and beauty, the consumer-geared PC
pairs color and aesthetic flourishes with Advanced Micro Devices
processors and subtle design touches meant to add additional stability
to a device small enough to be thrown into, per Dell, “a handbag or
backpack.”
Th M1010z weighs in under 4 pounds, features an 11.6-inch display —
a TrueLife HD glossy WLED, with a resolution of 1,366 by 768 —and
offers a choice of AMD Athlon II Neo single and dual-core mobile
processors with integrated ATi graphics. The new Dell laptop offers a
number of different Microsoft operating systems, including Windows 7
Home Premium.
Dell imagines it a fit for busy students, say, or moms on the go,
and either is likely to appreciate that the keyboard here is full size.
There’s also 4GB of DDR3 (double data rate) memory at 800MHz, for
helping with multitasking, and a SATA hard drive up to 320GB. That’s
enough, Dell says (thinking of the film student, anyone with a flight
delay or the mom entertaining kids in the car?) for 142 hours of
DVD-quality video, 38 hours of HD video or 80,000 songs. You’ll have to
charge up a few times, though — battery life is 6.5 hours with the
standard 6-cell battery.
