Technology Round-up: New Dell Laptop

This week I chose an article invloving Dell laptops, which caught my attention because I have recently done reasearch on many Dell laptops/notebooks and purchased a Dell notebook only about one week ago!

Article: Dell Laptops Tries to Impress Impression Makers

New York Times > Technolgy > Dell Laptops Tries to Impress Impression Makers,
By: Ashley Vance

It is amazing the new technology and features which are developed and presented to buyers by computer companies every week, month and year. This week after reading this article I learned the Dell has taken certain ideologies from concepts such as the iphone and reasearched ways to create their own technology as appealing and desired and the iphone has quickly become. Dell's newest ad most recent creation is called the Latitude Z it is a laptop which is meant for executive always on the go who strive to impress wherever they go. The price for this will start at $1,999 which comes with some new features which have been demanded by executive over time. Some of the features which make this laptop appealing to executives is the thin sleek appearance which could arguably resemble the Mac Book laptop. Other than it's appearance it has also many more wireless quirks to make traveling easy as well as an instant-on software, instantly connecting to the internet as soon as it is opened. It seems out of all the people surveyed about this laptop and technology 70% said to spend most of their time working in instant-on mode.


It as interesting to read this article because after reading I thought that it seemed almost as if Del was trying to compete directly with Mac products. Plus having looked at many laptops and noteboos ecently online at Dell.com just a few weeks agao was not aware of a few of the capabilities which Dell had to offer in some of it's newest products. In my opinion Dell has done a great job always moving the company forward, it is interesting to see where they get some of their ideas and it seems to me after reading this article that the MAC Books and iphones arent and wont be the only deice of its kind for long.
