Dell Rolls Out New Inspiron Laptops

Dell has released new versions of the Inspiron 14, 15, 14R, and 15R systems.

Optimized for better performance and improved battery life as compared to previous generations of Inspirons, the new Inspiron family features increased battery capacities for the 6-cell versions of the laptops, utilizing the ultra-low voltage versions of Intel’s Core i processors. 15% lighter and 17% slimmer with the 4-cell batteries, the new energy-efficient processors require only 17W to run, using less than half the power requirements of those in last year's Inspiron laptops.

Preloaded with Skype and H.264 enablement for HD video chats or calls, the laptops are available with Intel's Core i3, i5 and i7 processor options, and support higher-end features like 3x3 dual-band wireless support based on the latest Wi-Fi N standards, Bluetooth 4.0, HDMI 1.4a, and stereo speakers with Waves MaxxAudio 4 processing. With the Intel wireless card, all these systems support Intel’s wireless display standard. Beyond these hardware and software enhancements, these laptops all have touchpads that are optimized to take advantage of multi-touch gestures in Windows 8.

Inspiron 14 and 15

Available in two screen sizes - 14 and 15 inches - these two models come in a black matte textured finish inside with a Chiclet keyboard and support up to 8GB system RAM and hard drive options up to 1TB. Customers have the option to upgrade from the standard Intel HD 4000 integrated graphics to discrete NVIDIA GeForce or AMD Radeon graphics cards with either 1 or 2GB of video memory. Both the Inspirons feature a 720p WLED 1366 x 768 display with Truelife.

Inspiron 14R and 15R

Both new mainstream 14R and 15R systems come standard with the Moon Silver brushed aluminum finish, but can also be ordered in optional Peacock Blue, Fire Red, or Lotus Pink colors. In addition, the mainstream Inspiron 15R can be ordered with an optional full HD display that supports 1080p (1920 x 1080 resolution) with an anti-glare finish. The higher resolution display is ideal for customers looking for a full HD movie experience, or who need more screen real estate to get things done. They include a dedicated 10-key numeric keypad for straightforward number entry.
