Dell has always been on top of the latest technology especially when it has to do with the world of computing. One thing that I haven’t ever seen with Dell is lack of creative ideas that drives them one step ahead of the competition. This statement couldn’t be proven any better than it has with the outing of the Dell Inspiron M301z laptop.

Let’s see what this laptop brings to the table. After all, Dell has had its ups and downs with previous laptop releases, it’s time to see whether this one is going to be helpful or if it’s going to hurt them as a company.

The size is truly a work of art, less than four pounds.

Of course, this depends upon the configuration that you pick out when you order the Dell M301z. However, the starting size of this laptop weighs in at 3.89 pounds. This is truly a lightweight in the world of laptops, without a doubt.

The processor choice seems to be a little on the poor side of things.

Sure, it boasts a selection which includes the line of AMD Dual Core processors. However, peaking at 1.3 GHz per core makes it a little untasteful for most hardcore computer users.

How much RAM could you want?

If it’s more than 4GB of RAM, you might want to look for another alternative. Dell is offering up either 2GB or 4GB of DDR3 RAM with this laptop. Sure, this is pretty good for a laptop, but many may just keep saying STICK MORE RAM IN IT!

Hello Windows 7!

It looks like they took a step in a direction which is trying to utilize the latest technology. This comes with their choice of Windows 7 as the base operating system for this new laptop.

Of course there are other appealing benefits of Dell’s new laptop…

Such as the built-in webcam, I/O ports, and anything else they could cram into this laptop. You can only see this on the Signapore website currently, but they will probably be integrating it really soon.

The Conclusion You’ve Been Waiting For

Personally, I wouldn’t consider this a laptop to purchase from Dell. I want more speed in the processor as well as other things which I won’t list here. However, for someone who just needs a laptop that will get the job done, they can probably get away with using this.

The price ($1,000 starting price) is always a little too rich for my blodd considering what it brings to the table.
