The new laptops that Dell unveiled today are thinner and have been optimised for better performance and improved battery life.
The Inspiron 14 (starting from S$599), Inspiron 15 (S$649), Inspiron 14R (S$899), and Inspiron 15R (S$999) are available from today.
The new Dell Inspiron laptops are thinner, more powerful and have longer battery life.
The new Inspiron family features increased battery capacities for the 6-cell versions of the laptops, utilising the ultra-low voltage versions of Intel’s Core i processors.
Requiring only 17 watts to run, the new energy-efficient processors use less than half the power requirements of those installed in last year’s Inspiron laptops, resulting in longer battery life.
The redesigned Inspirons are 15% lighter than the previous generation, and 17% slimmer with the 4-cell batteries, making them under 1-inch thin.
The laptops are available with Intel’s Core i3, i5 and i7 processor options, and support higher-end features like 3×3 dual-band wireless support based on the latest Wi-Fi N standards, Bluetooth 4.0, HDMI 1.4a.

They are built with stereo speakers with Waves MaxxAudio 4 processing that was introduced in the high-end XPS laptops.
They also come preloaded with Skype and H.264 enablement for HD video chats or calls.
With the Intel wireless card, all these systems support Intel’s wireless display standard.
Beyond these hardware and software enhancements, these laptops all have touchpads that are optimised to take advantage of multi-touch gestures in Windows 8.
Below are the details.
