New Dell Inspirons: Lighter, Great Batteries

Overheal

Dell is loosing seven—yes, seven—new Latitude business notebooks today. Rather than recount each model in detail and scrambling your brain since they (and their accompanying options) go in a million directions from ultraportable to semi-rugged, here's the basic list of new features:

•Ridiculous battery life—some configs will go to 19 hours.
•Wireless N, Bluetooth, Ultra-wideband, mobile broadband, WiMax and GPS options
•Hardware disk encryption, Dell ControlVault, fingerprint readers and other security stuff
•Full-frame magnesium alloy construction
•Backlit keyboards, USB Powershare, DisplayPort
•E4200 and E4300 have Dell Latitude ON, an instant boot mode for email, contacts, internet, etc., that supposedly will give you multi-day battery life via a dedicated low-voltage sub-processor

The Lightest Model weighs in at a fluffy 2.2 Pounds, Or 0.997 Kilograms

Get the most energy efficient one and get the biggest battery it has. I imagine those times are quite generous and are based on the laptop sitting idle with wifi off and with the screen as dark as the night sky.

It also has something to do with the processors in them. I didnt really read it
