Dell has launched a new compact 12.1″ screen laptop which weighs around 1.52Kgs in total and gives you a real good battery life of 9 hours. Isnt that a exciting feature of long lasting battery because iam normally happy with a bit slower laptop ie with a decent configurated laptop but with a higher battery life, since thats more important for me while on travelling. The 9 hours of battery life would for sure give you 6 hours when you are running media files like audio, video related stuff.
The Laptop comes with a inbuilt 1.3Mp camera which is not really a high quality but works out when you want to go for a video chat with someone through your laptop with the help of free Video chat software and video conferancing solution. The laptop comes with 802.11 draft-n wireless LAN & future scalability with WiMAX (U.S. only) or get wired connectivity where broadband isn’t an option with a standard internal modem.
