THIS WEEK'S Dell Technology Camp gave us the perfect opportunity to look at the stylish XPS 15Z notebook.
The machine is Dell's thinnest 15in model and apparently "one of the thinnest 15-in PCs on the planet". With a full HD 1920x1080 WLED screen, it's clearly aimed at multimedia enthusiasts.
The laptop has sharp good looks with a metal look keyboard and slot style optical drive that can read Blu-ray discs. It's got some tasty specifications too, including an Intel Sandy Bridge processor, 4GB of RAM and over eight hours of battery life, to rival Apple's Macbook Pro. µ

When you're comparing oranges to Apples, a more appropriate target would be the Mac Book Pro 15" machine, not the Mac Air. The Mac Air comes in 11 and 13" screen size, and does not have a built in optical drive.
As for the 8 + hour battery life on the Dell, it's right up there with the Macs, and that should become the standard. Laptops should be able to go all day, or at least a full work day. Good for Dell, I hope they sell truck loads. Everybody else, man-up.
