I like the idea and mobility of netbooks, but there’s no way I could rely on one as my main computer for my professional career. If I were still travelling like I used to earlier in my career, having a ultra-portable and powerful machine at my disposal would have come in really handy. Rarely can you have both though.
All that is starting to change with the availability of laptops like the Dell Vostro V13. The new Dell laptop is a little bigger than a netbook, but delivers more features and performance than many laptops out there these days.
“Not long ago, business travelers like me had to choose mobility and affordability at the expense of performance. That’s no longer the case with the V13,” said Sam Burd, global vice president, Dell Small and Medium Business. “This 13-inch small business laptop is in a category all its own as entrepreneurs now have quality performance, battery life and security combined with a thin and lightweight design sturdy enough for today’s business.”
Designed exclusively for small-business frequent travelers, the Vostro V13 is:
- As thin as 0.65 inches (16.5mm) and starts at 3.5 pounds (1.59kg)2;
- Equipped with ultra-low-voltage Intel® (ULV) processors to manage energy efficiency, while providing ample power for everyday computing; and
- Encased in high-quality brushed aluminum with reinforced zinc hinges ready for rough handling.
- Has integrated webcam and microphone for video-conferencing and other communication needs.
- Various network connection options with 802.11g/n wireless, Bluetooth and WWAN broadband.
- Supports up to 4GB of RAM for Windows 7 use.
Just a few of the features available in the Dell Vostro V13. Many other business ready and useful options also available as part of the package and portability with this model.
