The 1.3-kilogram Inspiron 11z has a 1366×768 resolution 11.6-inch display and has the same design genes as the Inspiron Mini 10. Yep, with the same frustrating touchpad with the integrated right and left mouse buttons.
But don’t call the Inspiron 11z a netbook. There is no Intel Atom or Windows XP here. It has a ultra-low voltage Intel 1.2GHz Celeron processor and runs Windows Vista Home Premium (which you will probably want to upgrade to Windows 7 come October).The $US399 version packs 2GB of RAM and a 250GB hard drive, but only has a three-cell battery (a six-cell battery isn’t even a config option at the moment).
Grab the weapons, the war between the netbooks and the ultra thin notebooks is about to heat up.
