New Lightweight Dell Latitude Z Laptop on the Horizon

The Latitude Z is the latest high end, ultra slim laptop from Dell Australia. Unveiled this week in America, the Latitude Z is Dell’s lightest personal computer to date, weighing in at just 2kg and only 1.25cm in height! Dell Latitude Z gossip has been flying around for months, and we here at Computer Coupons mentioned it way back in May.

The Latitude Z also features a great selection of snazzy features, including inductive charging, which allows the computer to recharge on a stand without having to be connected to a mains supply. New features also include EdgeTouch, which allows users to scroll through web pages and alter volume levels by sliding a finger on the side of the screen, and angled ports at the rear to lead cords away from the laptop. The Latitude Z comes in an unusual colour too, a dark purple which Dell is calling ‘Black Cherry’ , which eludes class and exclusivity, though it’s sure to come with a price tag to match!

This appears to be Dell’s first warning shot across the bows of Apple, to let them know that they are gearing up for a battle in the micro light computer market. Whether the Macbook Air is quaking in it’s brushed aluminum boots is anyone’s guess, but from the looks of the Latitude Z, I think a few people at Apple HQ may be sitting up to take notice.
