ultra-portable devices with extended battery life. The M101z is powered
by AMD Athlon II Neo Mobile processors and integrated ATi graphics and
achieves up to 6 hours and 36 minutes of operation with its standard
6-cell rechargeable battery, according to the company. Prices begin at
$449 with a one-year limited warranty standard.

Features include an 11.6-inch TrueLife HD glossy WLED display, up to
4GB of DDR3 memory at 800MHz and up to 320GB SATA hard drive that can

The M101z also features integrated 10/100 Ethernet and Wi-Fi (b/g/n)

In an effort to jazz up the exterior, Dell is offering a selection of
colors and finishes including Clear Black, Peacock Blue and Tomato Red
with Jax pattern, and Promise Pink with DigiPais pattern and matching
design on the palmrests.

The notebook is built around a hinge-forward design that moves the
display closer and keeps the body rigid to help enhance strength and
durability and features a full-width keyboard. Also included is
Syncables Desktop software that makes it possible to synch photos,
music, video and data with a primary computer for on-the-go access.
Other applications pre-installed include Skype and Cozi Family

"Finally, people can get premium looks, a big display, a full-width
keyboard, long battery life and a powerful processor in a laptop no
bigger than many netbooks," said Brian Pitstick, director and general
manager of Dell’s ultra mobile products. "The Inspiron M101z is an
affordable, on-the-go companion that can be easily customized to handle
individual needs from simple e-mailing and Web surfing to HD video
playback and editing or watching a favorite TV program."
