Dell wanted to see its XPS M1530 and XPS M1330 laptops in pink for this spring and it did it.
Now you have the two models available in an optimistic color inspiring the beauty of life, which contributed in the success of Dell’s Inspiron laptops and is considered one of the Top 10 Fashion Colors for Spring 2008.

“Pinks are as popular with technology products as they are with clothing this spring,” said Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute. “Now-a-days, consumers are using and carrying colorful laptops and technology products as a way to express themselves.”

You can choose the Flamingo Pink for your Dell XPS or Midnight Blue, Tuxedo Black and Red, with 8 color patterns on Inspiron series.

Dell XPS M1330 and Dell XPS M1530 sport an awarded design and are optimized for a great multimedia experience featuring the MediaDirect technology with instant access to media files while the laptop is Off or in hibernation.
In addition they come with HD displays Windows Media Center, the optional remore control which can be kept in the ExpressCard slot, and the optional noise-isolation earphones made by Creative.

Dell is struggling to become the “greenest” technology company on the planet. For reaching its objective, the company will match consumer contributions to “Plant a Tree for Me”, a program that wants to fight against the carbon impact of the electricity used by computer systems. The contributions will vary from $2 from a laptop purchase to $6 from a desktop purchase, this being available for small and medium business customers also. These contributions’ matching will last for one week.

The money will go to The Conservation Fund and to Carbonfund.org. These NGOs will use these contributions in their reforestation projects, projects that address to fighting the habitat loss and climate change.
Last year, the program “Plant a Tree for Me” was a real success and according to CarbonFund.org through this project 150 million pound of CO2 will be removed from the atmosphere. This large quantity of CO2 is equivalent to the electricity used by 225.000 laptops.

Dell also advices its customers to use the Inspiron 531 Energy Star which is 46% more energy efficient than a standard PC.
Besides this contributions’ matching with the “Plant a Tree for Me” program and its energy efficient notebooks, Dell is offering free recycling programs for its customers and advices people that use its products to support these environmental initiatives to make the Earth a safer place for us.

Dell took into consideration its customers’ needs and redesigned its Vostro notebook line making the models lighter, thinner and with pre-installed data protection software.
The new redesigned laptops include Vostro 1310, Vostro 1510 and Vostro 1710 which are optimized for small businesses and are already available in several countries with others to follow up soon.



Dell Vostro 1310 is the smaller model with a display measuring just 13.3 inches in diagonal and equipped with fingerprint reader, Trusted Platform Module, cable lock slot, McAfee Total Protection for Small Business security software, and slot load optical drive.



The 15.4-inch Vostro 1510 has the same security features and is available at a price of $599, while the 13.3-inch Vostro 1310 costs $749.
In May, Dell will release also the 17-inch notebook model called Vostro 1710.

According to Dell, the next-generation laptop computers made by the company will support mobile broadband high-speed connectivity on multiple 3G network, feature enabled by Qualcomm for its customers via its GOBI technology.
US residents that like to travel accompanied by their laptops will have the chance to connect via Sprint’s EV-DO networks using European Vodafone’s HSDPA without the need for two different broadband cards, and this will be possible starting later this year when Dell will release portable computers with a single-card 3G network connectivity via GOBI.

GOBI technology from Qualcomm is software-configurable and allows users connect at high speeds on UMTS and CDMA networks with the possibility to switch between the two when needed.
Notebook models that will come with this solution are Latitude, Dell Precision and costumer laptops.

This is the public declaration of Greg Raleigh, vice president of product management for Qualcomm CDMA Technologies:
"The Gobi solution enables enterprise users and consumers with the freedom of being untethered from Wi-Fi hotspots and connecting to the Internet using 'almost anywhere' cellular broadband connectivity. We are pleased that Dell will be leveraging the flexibility and efficiency Gobi provides to meet the growing needs of mobile data users."

Dell Vostro 1000 is a very affordable portable computer solution available at prices ranging from $399 to $579, for a 15.4-inch wide display, and small business tools.

At a good price you can get a quality laptop because it comes from a very popular computer manufacturer, equipped with up to an AMD Turion 64 X2 Dual Core processor at 2GHz, Windows Vista operating system, up to 2GB DDR2 SDRAM memory, an integrated ATI Radeon graphics card with HyperMemory, 2-channel HD audio, up to 120GB S-ATA drive, up to a DVD RW dual layer, up to a 9-cell Li-Ion battery, Wi-Fi, a 3-in-1 card reader, and several connectivity options such as mini-card slot, VGA, ExpressCard slot, modem connector, and LAN connector.

The Dell notebook weights 2.2Kg and is customizable depending on the user’s needs.
