Dell Launches New Ultrathin Laptop First in China

             Dell launched a new ultrathin laptop in China on Friday called the XPS 14z, which is slated to arrive in other markets later this year.
             Dell is marketing the XPS 14z as the world's thinnest, fully featured laptop with a slot for a DVD drive. In terms of thinness, it measures 23 millimeters (0.9 inches) and is built with an aluminum case, making it resemble Apple's MacBook Pro line of laptops.
            The laptop has a 14-inch HD display screen with a resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels. Users can choose to buy Dell's XPS 14z with either Intel's second generation Core i5 or Core i7 processors. Dell claims the laptop has a 7-hour battery life. In China, the starting price of the laptop is 7,699 yuan (US$1,205).
            The XPS 14z is, however, part of a trend by the PC industry to create more value with laptops and make the user experience similar to smartphones and tablets. Intel and PC vendors want to reduce laptop boot up times, give them longer battery life and also make the devices lighter.
"They are trying to inspire users to do more things on their PCs,". "I think that's the point of the ultrathins and the Ultrabook. It's a kind of evolutionary process. PCs are evolving to the next stage."
