Laptop for business travellers lightens the load
Tuesday, 08 December 2009
Focused on bringing value through innovative IT products, Dell announced its next ‘must have’ mobile entrepreneurs’ business accessory, the 13.3-inch Vostro V13. The latest addition to its small-business line of Vostro laptops, the Vostro V13 is conveniently-sized but packed with laptop power and efficiency.
Starting at NZ$1,299.00 with Core 2 processor, the V13 combines premium design and worry-free security. The V13, like the entire Vostro line, is backed by dedicated and specially trained small-business sales and support experts, and features a suite of customisable service and support solutions designed specifically for small business.
“Not long ago, business travellers like me had to choose mobility and affordability at the expense of performance. That’s no longer the case with the V13,” global vice president, Dell Small and Medium Business, Sam Burd, said. “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 travellers, the Vostro V13 is:
• As thin as 16.5mm and starts at 1.59kg (Starting weight with a 6-cell battery)
• 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.
“Ultrathin laptops with processors in the ULV class compare favourably with netbooks,” founder and president of Endpoint Technologies Associates, Roger Kay, said. “The value proposition for small business travellers is simple: for slightly more money, you get all the portability you want but a lot better experience.”
Vostro V13: Business Traveller Benefits
The Vostro V13 offers the productivity that small businesses expect from the Vostro line of laptops which are equipped with the right features to complete on-the-go business tasks so small businesses can save time and money.
