Dell has today added to its ever-expanding line of Vostro systems with the introduction of the V13 notebook.
The 13.3in ultra-thin system, pictured below, is described by Dell as "a pretty cool option for small and medium businesses," but we reckon this one could also appeal to your average Joe.
Measuring 16.5mm thick, it's gorgeously thin - and 30 per cent thinner than most of the competition, says Dell - whilst comfortably portable thanks to a starting weight of 1.59kg.
Featuring an aluminium body with reinforced zinc, the Vostro V13 takes its design cues from the high-end Adamo line. Yet, it doesn't carry Adamo's premium price tag, with the Vostro V13's asking price starting from as little as £359 excluding VAT.
Inside, there's a choice of ultra-low-voltage Intel processors - including the 1.2GHz Celeron 743, 1.4GHz Core 2 Solo SU3500 and 1.3GHz Core 2 Duo SU7300 - any of which should help prolong the battery life provided by Dell's standard six-cell battery.
Joining the Intel processor is Intel's own GMA 4500MHD integrated graphics, up to 4GB of DDR3 memory and up to 500GB of hard-disk storage. The display, meanwhile, takes the form of a 13.3in LED-backlit anti-glare screen offering a 1,366x768 resolution.
Throw in Wireless N, Gigabit Ethernet and Bluetooth connectivity, as well as an integrated webcam, two USB ports, eSATA and a five-in-one card reader, and we reckon you're looking at a very sexy little notebook. Trouble is, we reckon you're looking at over £500 for a model equipped with the Core 2 Duo processor and 4GB of RAM. Then again, even that seems a steal for a system that looks this good.
