Dell Introduces New Inspiron 14z and 15z Notebooks [14" Inspiron 14z & 15.6" Inspiron 15z with CULV Processors]

Ultralight notebooks seem to be all the rage nowadays with new products popping up almost daily. One of those trying to dip its toes into this market is Dell with its two mid-sized Inspiron notebooks — the 14-inch Inspiron 14z and the 15.6-inch Inspiron 15z, both using Intel’s low power CULV processors which are extremely light as well as energy efficient.

CULV processors help slim down the notebooks (both only 1-inch thin) as compared to conventional systems and still retain pretty good performance. Same goes for these full fledged laptops that run on low power, low heat 1.3GHz Pentium Dual Core processors.

The base configuration features an internal DVD drive, 3GB of RAM, 160GB HDD, Intel GMA 4500 GPU and four-cell batteries, while upgrades include a 1.4 GHz Core 2 Duo processor, as well as 4GB of RAM, a 500GB 7200rpm HDD and 6-cell battery packs that run for 8 hours on the Inspiron 15z and 8.5 hours on the Inspiron 14z.

Dell Inspiron 14z (4.4 lbs) is priced at $599 and the Inspiron 15z (4.8 lbs) is priced at $684.
