Dell Unveils XPS 15Z, Their Next-generation Laptops


Dell announced the XPS 15z, the first of a new line of XPS laptops slim and powerful. The XPS 15z is less than an inch thick, and Dell is billed as the thinnest 15-inch PC in the world (although that is debatable depending on what we read). Even if the notebook is slim and lightweight (weighs 5.5 kg) that does not skimp on features. The device includes a second generation Intel Core i7 i5 or under the hood, NVIDIA GeForce GT, 2 USB 3.0 ports, 8-hour battery, and more.

The Dell XPS 15z is clearly designed to appeal to the sensibilities of people who love laptops look and form factor as Apple MacBook Pro, but would prefer a laptop with Windows and a lower entry price. The ports are on the sides of the laptop, with just a little further back. laptop keyboard has backlit keys Chiclet style with speakers on each side of the keyboard, and the body is made of silver, an alloy of aluminum and magnesium.

It may seem at this stage that a knock-off of the MacBook Pro, but is clearly only inspired the same qualities that make Apple's popular flagship notebook. If certain features work, integrity, and Dell is doing just that. In addition, the XPS 15z is $ 1,000 starting price tag, certainly stands out from the competition.

XPS 15Z also sports a 15.6-inch widescreen LED display that comes in a standard version (1366 x 768 pixels) and a Full HD (1280 x 1080 pixels), depending on how much you want to use. This show will be powered by your choice Graphics Card Nvidia GeForce 525 graphics card with 1 GB or 2 GB or video RAM. You get another standard bells and whistles Dell, plus: a reader 9-in-1, an integrated 1.3 megapixel webcam , HDMI and DisplayPort Mini Ethernet ports, Gigabit Ethernet and a large touchpad.

Under the hood you'll find an Intel Core or Core i7 i5 second generation, and 4 GB of RAM, expandable to 8GB. Interestingly, Dell has decided to adopt USB 3.0, and includes two USB 3.0 ports on the laptop, with support for Bluetooth 3.0, support for Intel Display Widi, and 802.11 A / G / N wireless compatible. Interestingly, support for 802.11b networks - which are even more widespread than 802.11n networks - has not been mentioned.

Certainly, 15Z XPS starts at $ 1,000, and you do not want upgrades of RAM, the screen Full HD, a bigger hard drive and you bump the price tag. However, Dell XPS sends a signal 15Z, that their next generation of consumer notebooks are here, and they will deliver serious bang for the buck.
