-

MANILA, Philippines - Dell recently launched its new top-of-the-line products. Known for providing businesses enterprises with reliable computing solutions, Dell now has a whole array of products for all types of consumers.

“We have addressed the needs of the techie market more aggressively this time because we want our presence felt in the Philippines,” declared country manager for consumer and small business Chris Papa.

Ultra-powerful XPS 15z

The Dell XPS 15z laptop, one of the thinnest PCs in the market, is the first in a series of new thin and ultra-powerful products from Dell to come this year.

With the XPS 15z, everyone from mobile warriors to students and small-business owners now have everything they need to work hard and play hard in one stunning package.

A leading-edge combination of uncompromising power and stunning design, the XPS 15z offers second-generation Intel Core i5 and Core i7 processors, optional 15.6-inch Full HD (1080p) display for superior entertainment and Web browsing experiences, a backlit keyboard with adjustable brightness and up to eight hours of battery life — all housed in a luxurious, eye-catching and elegantly crafted case that is less than an inch thick.

The XPS 15z is the first in a series of upcoming thin Inspiron- and XPS-branded products that deliver the ultimate blend of style and performance so users can pursue their personal passions.

“The XPS 15z delivers uncompromising performance in our most beautifully designed laptop yet,” said Papa. “It delivers all the must-have features — from next-generation Intel Core processors for incredible performance to optional Full HD screens that are up to 50 percent brighter than standard displays - all in a stunning form factor that makes it one of the thinnest PCs in the market,” Papa said.

“The XPS 15z provides a glimpse into a series of visually stunning and powerful systems coming soon to our consumers and small-to-medium-business product portfolio,” he added. “We’re committed to introducing next-generation products that help people pursue their personal and professional passions.”

Less mass, more appeal

A technology package perfect for pumping out spectacular, media-rich office presentations or watching the latest award-winning movies, the XPS 15z includes second-generation Intel Core i5 or i7 processors, a brilliant 15.6-inch WLED display with a Full HD option that has almost two times the HD resolution of standard HD displays, NVIDIA graphics with 3DTV play capabilities, built-in Wi-Fi, Blue-tooth 3.0, USB 3.0, and a backlit keyboard.

Despite its incredibly slim exterior, the XPS 15z delivers uncompromising performance, including NVIDIA discrete graphics with Optimus technology that automatically switches to power-saving integrated graphics under reduced workloads, helping the battery last longer on coast-to-coast flights and for movie marathons.

In addition, it offers ample hard drive storage and a slot-loading DVD +/- RW drive for watching the latest movies or burning music to a disc. And the optional Full HD (1080p) display brings HDTV-type quality to the laptop screen.

Advanced wireless features make the XPS 15z your go-to device from the road or the living room. Built-in Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity ensure it’s fast and easy to connect with e-mail, websites, Skype and Facebook from almost anywhere.

For at-home entertainment, the optional Intel Wireless Display feature enables videos and photos to be streamed wirelessly from the XPS 15z to an HDMI-equipped TV. And with the exclusive Dell Stage user interface, it’s easy to access personal content such as music, photos and videos.

At first glance, the XPS 15z’s clean aluminum design appears like it floats above the surface, and the polished, brushed finishes with sophisticated accents add to a luxurious appearance.

The XPZ 15z is now available and priced from P62,000. Like all XPS computers, it is designed and built from the ground up to provide a premium computing experience with the best materials, technology, performance and reliability that Dell offers.
