I was invited to a Dell event 2 days back and they announced new laptops (Latitude, Inspiron & XPS) and new tablets (Venue 7, Venue 8 & Venue 11 Pro). Since most of the stuff are still to be announced (TBA), I will start off with this post on Inspiron 14/15/17 7000 series, Inspiron 11 3000 series & Inspiron 23 all-in-one as I got all the prices for it and you can already get it now from Dell.

At 0.83 inches (21.2mm) thin, a starting weight of just over 3.15 lbs (1.43kg) and with up to 8 hours, 20 minutes of battery life, the Inspiron 11 is perfect for both entertainment and productivity on-the-move.

Inspiron 14/15/17 7000 Series Laptops
The Inspiron 7000 series laptops contains the Inspiron 14, Inspiron 15 and Inspiron 17.

The Inspiron 7000 Series laptops provide powerful performance in thin, upscale designs. Featuring diamond-cut beveled edges, the 7000 Series’ forged aluminum design turns heads and feels reassuringly strong. All Inspiron 7000 Series laptops come with optional 10-finger, capacitive touch display with edge-to-edge Corning Gorilla Glass NBT for durability. The Inspiron 14 and 15 can both be outfitted with optional Full HD, vibrant 300-nit touch displays featuring 97% more pixels than HD and 160-degree viewing angles, twice as much as regular HD. The Inspiron 7000 Series features backlit keyboards as standard to make it easy when the lights are low, and is maximized for efficiency with Intel 4th generation (Haswell) Core i5 and i7 options, as well as SSD options available later this year (Inspiron 15 and Inspiron 17) to speed up boot times and application loading.

Ideal for on-the-go types with up to 8 hours and 52 minutes of battery life , the Inspiron 14 slips easily into a sleeve or bag with its ultra-thin 0.6-inch (15.3mm) design, which is 27% thinner than its predecessor, the Inspiron 14z. The Inspiron 15 is the perfect blend of portability and performance, measuring under an inch thin (0.9 inches) with a large 15.6-inch screen and up to 7 hours, 24 minutes of battery life. At just over an inch thin (1.1 inches), the Inspiron 17 comes with an optical drive and touch, making it a compelling desktop replacement entertainment center.
In keeping with Dell’s commitment to sustainability, the Dell Inspiron 7000 Series is the first to use wheat straw as part of its packaging. This is the left over part of the wheat plant after harvesting that is often burned by farmers. By using wheat straw in its packaging, Dell is helping customers reduce their carbon footprint, and helping adjacent industries grow, while maintaining its commitment to the environment.
