Dell Lightning smartphone goes official as the Venue Pro, still looking hot

Deemed ‘hot’ by yours truly back in April when it was known as Lightning, Dell’s first Windows Phone 7 device, today announced under the name Venue Pro, is still a real head-turner, even among the sexy WP7 phones from HTC, Samsung and LG.

Pictured below, Dell’s smartphone is a WP7 slider that features a 4.1-inch (800 x 480) AMOLED touchscreen enhanced with Gorilla Glass for extra durability, a 1 GHz Snapdragon chipset, a QWERTY keyboard, a 5 megapixel camera with flash, a microUSB port, and a 3.5mm jack.

The Venue Pro will be introduced by T-Mobile next month

 

Dell Inspiron 11z gets a new touchpad

The Dell Inspiron 11z is a thin and light notebook with a 11.6 inch, 1366 x 768 pixel HD display, an Intel CULV processor, and a nice wide keyboard. My only real complaint with this netbook is that it has one of the worst touchpads I’ve ever used.

I’m not a fan of touchpads with integrated left and right buttons — since the cursor often jumps when you’re trying to tap, and dragging and dropping is a bit of a chore when you have to hold down the touchpad while sliding your finger across the same surface.

Now some folks in are reporting that Dell has started shipping the Inspiron Mini 11z with a new touchpad that has two distinct buttons below the touchpad.

According to MyDellMini forum member brookheather, the buttons feel kind of cheap, but it’s still much easier to right click and click and dag on the new touchpad. That particular laptop shipped in the UK, but if you look at theDell Inspiron 11z web site for the US, you’ll see that the photos have been updated to show a notebook with left and right buttons below the touchpad.

Alienware M11x getting Intel Core i3 / i5 / i7 upgrade next month, says Dell rep

Meet Pearce Clune, Dell’s Head of Consumer Operations for Middle East, Africa, and Turkey. Clune’s gone ahead and a pretty brief demonstration of Alienware‘s laptop lineup to Shuffle Magazine, include the mighty impressive M11x powerhouse in netbook clothing. It’s all pretty standard fare until about 2:20 into the video, where the fine gentleman casually drops that the Core 2 Duo processor is about to get a modern upgrade with Core i3, i5, and i7 options. That’s right, a Core i7 processor in a 11-inch form factor. We’ll let that sink in for a second. But don’t just take our word for it — video after the break.

Inspiron M301z: Dell’s first laptop to take on AMD’s new dual-core Neo

If the words Dell and AMD excite you then lean in, we’ve got something for you. You won’t find it on Dell’s US site just yet, but Dell Singapore is showing off its first laptop to feature AMD’s new Nile-class of processors. The Inspiron M301z starts at $999 with a 1.3GHz dual-core Athlon II Neo K325 processor (optional 1.5GHz Neo K625), 2GB (up to 4GB supported) of 1,333MHz DDR3 memory and a 320GB hard disk spinning at 7,200RPM, ATi Mobility Radeon HD 4225 integrated graphics, a glossy 13.3-inch WLED display pushing 1,366×768 pixels, and a 6-cell 44WHr battery for up to 5-hours of promised life. It’s available for purchase now in Singapore and likely elsewhere just as soon as the sun begins to warm the western world.

Dell pumps out a pair of new UltraSharp 1080p IPS LCDs, asks a pittance

Dell rarely disappoints with its wallet-friendly LCDs, and the new 21.5-inch U2211H and 23-inch U2311H don’t look to be changing any trends. The two UltraSharp screens go for $280 and $300, respectively, and they’ve got that viewing angle-friendly, color accurate IPS tech all the kids are rocking these days. DisplayPort, DVI, 1,000:1 contrast ratio… eh, who are we kidding, you stopped reading after we listed the price, didn’t you?

Dell Latitude E4310 officially launches, brings E5410 and E5510 along for the ride

Being the eagle-eyed scouts that we are, we already alerted you to the new 13.3-inch Latitude E4310 and its fine looking product page, but Dell’s putting all of its cards on the table today with pricing and availability. Starting at $1,149, the new 1.1-inch thick, corporate-looking laptop will be avilable later this month with Core i5 CPUs as well as your choice of SSD and hard drive options. That’s above the $1,000 threshold, but we’re told that’s because of its durable tri-metal build and backlit keyboard, both of which sound delightfully delightful. We’re curious to see the machine in person, but if you aren’t into those extras, Dell’s got you covered with its 13.3-inch Latitude E5410 and 14.6-inch E5510, which start at $759 and $789, respectively. While these two aren’t the trimmest of the bunch at over 4.5 pounds, they can be configured with Core i3 or i5 processors, DDR3 RAM, and up to 320GB 7,200rpm hard drives. Not a bad bunch of options for the briefcase, but take sometime to peruse the press shots below and the PR after the break before you bust out the plastic.

Dell introduces Latitude 2110 netbook for business, education

Last year Dell introduced the Latitude 2100 netbook with a boxy, somewhat rugged design. Unlike most netbooks, it was aimed specifically at education and business customers. Now Dell is back with an updated model called the Dell Latitude 2110, and while it looks pretty similar on the outside, there are a number of updates under the hood.

First, the new model ships with a 1.83GHz Intel Atom N470 processor and GMA 3150 graphics. Second, it’s available with an optional touchscreen display.

Other options include a choice of operating systems: You can get the Latitude 2110 with Ubuntu 9.10, Window XP, Windows Vista HOme Basic, or Windows 7 Starter.  You also have a choice of a 16GB or 64GB SSD or a 160GB, 5400 rpm hard drive or a 250GB 7200 rpm model.

You can choose between an 802.11b/g/n WiFi module and an 802.11a/b/g unit. Bluetooth and 3G options are also available. For some reason you can’t configure the laptop with 2GB of memory though — not even the Ubuntu Linux model. You’re stuck with 1GB of RAM no matter which model you  purchase — although I imagine it shouldn’t be too hard to upgrade to 2GB yourself.

Dell also offers a 10.1″ 1366 x 768 HD display option — although you can’t configure the laptop with a high resolution screen and a touchscreen.

Prices range from $389 to $891, depending on your configuration options.
