Dell launches world’s thinnest and lightest business PC Latitude Z
Dell Inc on Monday unveiled its latest high-end, ultra-thin personal computer, bringing some fresh design appeal to its enterprise models. Dell called the new Latitude Z the world’s thinnest and lightest 16-inch laptop, at 4.5 pounds and less than one inch thick. However, the Latitude Z does not come cheap, starting at $1,999. Dell, the world’s No. 2 PC maker said it is targeting the PC at what it calls “impression makers,” such as creative professionals.
Thin and light is undoubtedly a priority for PC makers this fall, in both consumer and business segments. Technology advances are allowing PC makers to cram ever more performance into a shrinking form factor. Dell launched its premium consumer ultra-thin PC, the Adamo, earlier this year. Dell said the Latitude Z is the first laptop to offer wireless docking and “inductive charging.” It can be recharged without a power cord just by placing it in a special docking station, in the same way many electric toothbrushes charge. The docking station is sold separately. The Latitude Z also comes with an always-on function that allows instant access to email and the Internet, and offers a screen frame that is touch-sensitive and can be used to launch applications and scroll through Web pages.
