Dell recently announced the launch of its latest notebook designed to meet the requirements of small business and home users with increased processing power and wireless connectivity.
In a sleek moonlight silver design, the Dell Inspiron 5160 combines office productivity applications with creative, multimedia tools for advanced mobile computing at cost-effective prices. Available immediately on www.dell.co.za, the Dell Inspiron 5160 is priced at R9 180 (including VAT and delivery).
The Dell Inspiron 5160 dramatically increases the power and performance of its predecessor - the Dell Inspiron 5150 - with increased speed and memory provided by Mobile Intel Pentium 4 Processors up to 3.20GHz with support for Hyper-Threading (HT) Technology. This level of operation allows users to execute everyday computing tasks, at any time, from remote locations.
"Like all Dell products, the Dell Inspiron 5160 can be customised and configured to meet specific user needs, increasing the value and relevancy of initial purchase cost," comments Ben McDonald, Client Product Manager at Dell South Africa.
"At Dell, we pride ourselves on listening to what our customers want; because they order directly from us we are always working to meet their evolving requirements. Small business and home users demand faster and more robust functionality when connecting to multimedia devices in the office, on the road and in a home entertainment environment. Dell`s latest Inspiron addresses all of these requirements at competitive prices."
Also offering a variety of options for mobile connectivity, the Dell Inspiron 5160 comes equipped with an internal 56K capable v.92 modem for fast dial-up connections and an internal 10/100 Ethernet NIC for broadband and network connections. Optional integrated dual band, Dell Wireless 1350 Mini-PCI card, 2 high-speed USB 2.0 ports and an IEEE 1394 port are also available for extended geographical breadth and multiple device connection (such as camcorders, scanners, hard drives, television and projectors). In addition, memory can be enhanced from 256MB to 2GB and there are four hard drive options from 30GB to 80GB available to complement the solution.
Photography, personal video, DVD movies and music take on a new look with the embedded family-friendly and TV-compatible Dell Media Experience interface. This interface provides Dell Inspiron 5160 users with a single, integrated, easy-to-use window into all the entertainment content on the PC.
The Dell Inspiron 5160 is offered with a one-year return warranty and one-year technical phone support.
