On-the-go affordable laptop

Dell’s Inspiron M101z laptop is the latest in compact computing. It offers premium looks, a big display, a full-width keyboard, long battery life and a powerful processor in a laptop no bigger than many netbooks. At under four pounds, it fits easily into a handbag or backpack and can handle everyday computing tasks, plus stream music and play HD videos. The Inspiron M101z laptop is powered by an AMD Athlon II Neo Mobile processor and integrated ATi graphics. It offers an 11.6-inch TrueLife HD glossy WLED display (1366x768), up to 4GB of fast DDR3 memory and up to a 320GB SATA hard drive. The PC is equipped with a built-in 1.3 megapixel Webcam, SRS Premium Sound with two 1.5W speakers, three USB 2.0 connections — one with USB PowerShare, HDMI port, VGA port and 7-in-1 media card reader. Connectivity options include integrated 10/100 Ethernet and Wi-Fi (b/g/n) with Bluetooth 3.0 wireless standard, and optional built in mobile broadband. The Inspiron M101z comes with a standard 6-cell battery, or an optional 9-cell battery. The machine retails for a starting price of $450.
