Laptop Thoughts: Dell Officially Announces the Inspiron M101z

"Dell today announced the latest in compact computing - the ultra-portable and ultra-stylish Inspiron M101z laptop. The perfect combination of size, weight, performance and contemporary lux looks, the Inspiron M101z is the ideal on-the-go, easy-to-use laptop PC for today's mobile population. Whether a student running between classes or a mom trying to keep the kids entertained, carrying this ultrathin sub-4-pound[i] laptop that fits easily in a handbag or backpack helps lighten the load. Despite its diminutive size, the Inspiron M101z laptop packs performance punch, nimbly stepping through everyday tasks quickly and delivering impressive playback of streaming movies and HD videos."

I already posted about this last month, but it looks like it's now official: Dell has released the Inspiron M101z. Anything different from the post from last month? Not really - the 6-cell battery is standard, but there's a 9-cell battery coming this fall that should offer a decent boost to the battery life. Pricing in Canada starts at $449 CAD.
