    Has this been posted yet? If so, dorry for the dupe and I am blind. If not, here ya go:

    In June, the new Dell Inspiron 13z will be released. The new Inspiron 13Z features a stainless steel cover which makes it elegant. Besides the high portability, the more sophisticated workmanship increased the comfort use of Dell Inspiron 13Z.

    Besides the improvement of the Dell Inspiron 13Z outlook, the new Dell Inspiron 13Z LCD screen is also used DID technology that can adjust automatically the display according to the content or image. In the network, the new Dell Inspiron 13z supports 3G networks, and supports SIM card, this is a breakthrough in this field. According what Dell’s product manager said, the new Dell Inspiron 13z will be available in two models, one is with AMD processors and the other is with Intel processor.

    And for those of you who like to see laptops undressed... pr0n:

    PS - I now am almost convinced that the Studio line may be history, as Dell Inspiron has the V, the R, and the Z out...

    R, V or Z, do any of them have decent graphics? If not, I would think that Dell will attempt to release a 13" multimedia device at some point.

    Bronsky :cool:

    BTW, I like the simple design of the 13Z. It would be a decent platform for the XPS 13.

    Well, I'll be happy with a low-end dedicated card such as an ATI 5470 or Nvidia 310M. Looking forward for this model!

    True, all of them likely will have integrated or entry level GPUs... so yes, I hope they do follow up with a decent 13" machine. (what we've been looking for for months.)

    Now that they've unloaded a bunch of inventory with their 10 days of deals as usual, I wonder if they are about to drop these inspirons and perhaps some other new or refreshed product.

    NZ site has new 13z...
    Inspiron 13z Laptop Details | Dell New Zealand

    Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-430UM Processor (3MB L3, 1.20GHz)
    13.3 HD WLED True Life (1366x768)
    4GB (2 X 2 GB) 2 DIMM DDR3 1333Mhz
    500GB 7200RPM Hard Drive

    For whatever reason it is not possible to remove the external dvd drive... also that graphics card is not very impressive!

    Yuck at the CPU...What is up with the ULV craze? I think they are way too slow.
