Dell Latitude Z series

And is it fully customizable? Seems to me more like a gimmick but ok...if it is fully customizable, you might get a good thing out of it.

 

I hope it is..if not it's pretty useless...if it is then yeah, still gimmick but a usefull one maybe.

 

From past reviews, the touch bar is customizable. It can also be use to scroll down web pages or long documents. Kind of like how the right hand side of a touch pad works.

 

hmmm...using it for scroll IS pretty nice

 

But using it only for that? Isnt that kinda pointless?

 

Like I said, using it for Dell's proprietary controls makes the most sense. In the future, it would be nice to see the controls mirrored to the Latitude On Environment.

It sure beats memorizing hotkeys.

 

hello,
here in manila, dell philippines just release the dell latitude Z600

Intel Core 2 Duo SU9600 or SU9400 ultra-low voltage processor, the GMA 4500MHD integrated graphics, 2GB or 4GB of DDR3 memory, one or two solid state drives with up to 256GB of storage per SSD, a 1600×900 LED backlight display, and a 4-cell or 8-cell battery

wireless docking & inductive charging

Dell’s Latitude Z (Z600), advertised as “the world’s thinnest and lightest 16-inch laptop”, also sports a 2MP web camera with face recognition and business card reading functionality, 802.11n WiFi, optional WiMAX, optional mobile broadband connectivity, Bluetooth, an Ethernet LAN port, a Display Port, two USB ports (one is shared with eSATA port), optional wireless USB for a clutter-free connection to peripherals, a fingerprint reader, the TPM 1.2, and a contactless Smart Card reader.

Along with a backlit keyboard and a gesture-enabled touchpad, the notebook includes the Dell EdgeTouch LCD Sensor, enabling innovative controls at lower right corner of LCD for “quick, easy and customizable” laptop interaction.

Optionally, customers can purchase the Latitude Z with a wireless inductive charging stand. An internal charging module must be installed in the laptop in order to use inductive charging.

 

When is NotebookReview going to do an actual review of this computer? With so much talk on here about it I'm anxious to see what they have to say about it.

 

When they get a review unit I assume. Although one of you folks could just type up some thoughts and attach the usual pictures.

 

I also have a MacBook Pro 17" unibody and like it very much. I just ordered the Z to supplement my company. Showing up at some sites with a MAC rubs some people the wrong way so since I have found some clients simply don't have the space for my Dragon I will be using the Z for Windows clients and the MBP for MAC clients, no worry of people being offended.

I did not order the wireless dock or wireless charging, I instead spent my money on more cpu and memory although I do not understand why they don't sell a 64bit Windows option for a business laptop.

Dell's response, 64bit is for entertainment only, that made me laugh pretty good but I ordered it anyway.
