One might already assume straight away that Dell, one of the leading manufacturers of laptop computers, is releasing yet another business laptop – but it’s another thing to know that with the newest offering come innovative features. The new Dell latitude Z business laptop stays within the popular elements of today’s laptops – thin size, glossy and sophisticated finishes and polished colors. But one more thing it has under its sleeve is a unique twist in terms of battery juice: the Dell Latitude Z can actually charge itself without the use of wires. As far as anyone has heard, this is the first of its kind to offer such a feature.

Look Ma, No Wires!

SO how does one charge it wirelessly? The use of an inductive pad (found conveniently into the laptop stand) can power the Latitude Z to the brim in the same amount of time as you would spend charging it on a wall socket. While this technology has for quite some time been evident in some personal digital assistants, no other laptop can boast of it until now.
This innovation, aptly termed “wireless eco-system” by Dell, also gives the user the convenience of having its own docking stand so you can plug it in any monitor wherever, whenever. The additional price you pay for the convenience of a docking stand is $199 – however, Dell is targeting companies for bulk purchases rather than individuals.

And Dell doesn’t stop at the wireless charging feature – the Latitude Z’s got a full range of touch sensitive controls conveniently located on the bezel, which only makes an appearance once you actually touch the area. Just like magic, it appears before your eyes and – better yet – is fully customizable. You can put all your most-often used apps like MS Excel or your favorite web browser and access it with just one tap of your finger.
In terms of boot up, the Latitude Z comes with a secondary (albeit smaller) motherboard as well as an isolated ARM processor. You can access your emails, calendars, even a web browser on this non-Windows interface so you don’t need to go through the hassle of starting it up and waiting to be logged in. for security reasons, the isolated Arm processor is unable to access the Latitude Z’s motherboard – so security-phobic individuals need not panic. It also uses less power (like a little bit more than the power a smartphone uses, actually) so you can get up to – get this – two whole days of battery life.
The main objective of using this secondary processor strategy is to provide users with an efficient way to backup and sync with their computers. By simply looking at this innovation which Dell started in the arena of touch-capable screens, once can already deduce that such a trend will catch on and that they can all credit Dell for leading the pack. For a laptop company that has been known to stay true to convention and what is tried and tested, this leap of faith is a pleasant and well-received surprise for all.
