Ultra-portable Dell Vostro V13 business laptop officially announced


Even before Seagate gets a chance to unveil its much-touted 7mm Momentus Thin hard disk drives, Dell has already gone and announced a new ultra-thin model in its Vostro series of business laptops called the Vostro V13. The Dell Vostro V13 measures a mere 0.65-inches thick (16.5mm) and weighs 3.5 pounds (1.6 kilos), running on Intel's Mobile GS45 Express Chipset with compatible Ultra Low Voltage processors and GMA 4500MHD graphics.

Thin and sleek as it is, the Dell Vostro V13 features a 13.3-inch LED-backlit 1366 x 768 "anti-glare" screen, support for up to 4GB of DDR3 SDRAM, 802.11 g/n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.1, Gigabit Ethernet, a 5-in-1 card reader, 34 mm ExpressCard slot, 3.5mm microphone and headphone jacks and 2 USB 2.0 ports (with one being part of a USB 2.0/eSATA combo port).

Dell offers the Vostro V13 with either Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Ubuntu Linux and asks $450 USD or about 20,677 Pesos for it (though you can expect it to become slightly more expensive when it becomes available here in the Philippines). See a gallery of the Dell Vostro V13 after the break.
