Dell introduces new, budget priced, ultraportable laptop

If your looking for a high quality laptop, that is really really thin and really light too, you have very limited choices. One could be the $1,400 MacBook Air and the other could be the Dell Adamo starting at $1,500. But if your like me, and don’t have $1,400 to spare on a laptop thats only appeal is how small it is, you’re gonna need to find another alternative.

Introducing the latest model in the Vostro series, the V13 is the latest ultraportable on the market to be released by Dell. The V13 comes in at a 0.65-inch thickness which is the same as the Adamo and less then the 0.76-inch thickness of the Air. Also, the V13 weighs about 3.5 pounds which is less than the Adamo’s 4.0 pounds but is slightly more than the MacBook Air’s 3.0 pounds. So right now, it seems pretty similar to the other two. But what sets it apart is its price. Coming in at $449, the V13 is less than a third of the price of both the MacBook Air and the Dell Adamo.

Even with the tiny size combined with the weight of a 3.5 pound feather, the V13 manages to still have room for eSATA, ethernet port, USB port, a card reader, and a VGA-output port. Though actual specs are yet to be released, Electronista predicts that the V13 will have an Intel CULV (Consumer Ultra Low Voltage) Celeron, Pentium or Core 2.

Things are just getting cheaper and cheaper, lets just hope quality stays with this one.
