Dell Inspiron 11z CULV netbook gets official – Feature packed netbook!
Dell has finally unveiled its much-awaited 11-inch netbook/mini- laptop, the Inspiron 11z. Unlike most of the netbooks that come with Intel Atom processors, this new netbook from Dell uses an Intel Celeron processor that runs at 1.2GHz clock speed which is noticeably faster than any Intel Atom processor released till date. That is the reason why Dell is selling them with Windows Vista Home Premium instead of good ‘ol Windows XP which almost all the current netbooks carry.
Another interesting thing to note is the fact that there are no physical left and right click buttons. How difficult or easy it makes the usage cannot be commented upon right now, but we guess that Dell must have made some enhancements to the touchpad to make it usable for the normal consumer.
It even packs in an HDMI port, 2GB RAM and 250GB hard disk, all of which are not common on netbooks due to the restrictions by Microsoft according to which a manufacture cannot use Windows XP on a netbook that has more than 160GB HDD or/and 1GB RAM.
Specifications:-
- CPU: 1.2GHz Intel Celeron 723 CULV processor
- Video: Intel GS45 integrated graphics
- Display: 11.6 inch, 1366 x 768 pixels
- OS: Windows Vista Home Premium
- RAM: 2GB
- Storage: 250GB, 5400rpm HDD
- WiFi: Dell Wireless 1397 802.11g
- Webcam: 1.3MP
- Connectivity: Ethernet, 3 USB ports, 3-in-1 card reader, HDMI output
- Battery: 28WHr, 3 cell Li-Ion battery
- Dimensions: 11.5″ x 8.4″ x 0.9″
- Weight: 3 pounds
All this at an affordable price of $399. We say it is great deal for what you get: more horsepower and RAM along with hi-resolution screen and HDMI output, you cannot go wrong with this machine!

I have a Dell Mini 10, and it seems the same touch pad is used here. If that’s the case, this touch pad is awesome! It does take some learn time to get used to the difference, but normal tapping for single click, tap and hold for drag and drop, and two finger tapping for right mouse click are very natual once learned. Buttons are there, strange place, but there. Once you learn the multi-finger abilities though you won’t want to use the hardware buttons.
One thing I’ve not been able to find, is this a normal size keyboard? Or one of the netbook 92% keyboards?
Well, it is almost full size, but in reality it is basically a 92%-95% of full laptop size keyboard
