Dell introduces Inspiron 11z 11.6 inch notebook
Sure the Inspiron Mini 12 might be no more but this hasn’t stopped Dell from announcing a new 11.6 inch notebook in the form of the Inspiron 11z. You’ll note that Dell isn’t calling this a netbook – instead referring to the 11z as a “laptop” but the truth is – it’s got all the makings of a netbook (including the price) minus the Intel Atom processor on the inside.
Specs for the Inspiron 11z include:
- Intel Celeron 723 processor clocked at 1.2 GHz
- Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 32 bit
- 2GB RAM
- Intel GS45 + ISH9M SFF-enhanced chipset
- Intel GS45 integrated graphics
- 11.6 inch 1366 x 768 HD TLF WLED display
- Stereo speakers rated at 1watt per channel
- Integrated single digital microphone bundled with camera
- 250GB 5400 RPM SATA HDD
- 3 cell 24 WHr Li-Ion battery
- Integrated 1.3 megapixel webcam
- 802.11 a/b/g Wi-Fi
- Ethernet
- HDMI
- 2 USB ports
- 3 in 1 card reader
Two negatives with the 11z – the paltry 3 cell battery and the 92 percent keyboard. Disappointing given the larger 11.6 inch form factor of the system. The 11z can be purchased for a mere $399.
