Dell today released its new Dell Latitude Z series, aiming to offer a stylish and slim design choice for the corporate world. The company describes the new series as follows:
We set out to bring together super svelte design with breakthrough features in a laptop that your IT department will support and manage. The result: the Latitude Z600 – the thinnest, lightest 16-inch notebook in the world.
The design isn't the only advanced feature -- we've gone beyond to introduce several industry firsts such as wireless docking and inductive charging. We're also introducing Latitude ON, a hardware-based feature that allows you the full power of your laptop with the flexibility of your smartphone.
Latitude ON is essentially a motherboard within a motherboard where a separate processor and OS boot into Latitude ON "mode" to provide instant, interactive access to email, contacts, calendar and the Web. And, it hooks into Microsoft Exchange, IMAP, POP and Novell GroupWise email, while delivering battery life that lasts for days, not hours.
The Dell Latitude Z600 is half an inch thin and weighs in at 4.5 pounds. It's the world's first laptop with optional wireless docking, that relies on a UWB radio for point-to-point communications, and inductive charging, which eliminates the need for power cords by using a dynamic power transfer between system primary stand and secondary module. Both will be available in the coming weeks.
Users of the Dell Latitude Z600 will also get Dell's EdgeTouch, enabling interaction with commonly used applications and media controls through a touch interface that is on the edge of the laptop's screen. The laptop's 16-inch WLED display offers a resolution of up to 1600 by 900 pixels. A 2-megapixel Web camera has also been incorporated. Wireless options include WLAN, Bluetooth and optional 3G mobile broadband.
The Dell Latitude Z600 is available starting today in select countries in Europe and Asia, as well as Canada and the U.S., starting at $2000.
