Dell Insprion 11z gets a price jump from $399 to $449

When Dell Inspiron 11z was launched, it was tagged with price of $399 at the Dell’s website, but now the Dell has increased its price up by $50 and now it’s for $449.

No distinction can be made between the specs of model that costed $399 and the current (and expensive) one. But the Dell official claims that the reason for such jump in price is due to fact that the screen is now LED backlit. The chances are there that the prices might come back to $399 if a lower quality screen becomes available.

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!
