New Dell Studio 14z Laptop Perfect Powerhouse for Online Generation
Thin, Cool Design for Those Who Download Media from Online
Powerful, Mobile Entertainment System Combines HD Resolution Screen
with Great Audio and 500GB1 Hard Drive Option
ROUND ROCK, Texas --(Business Wire)-- May 28, 2009
For the generation that has grown up with the Internet and can find just
about anything online, the new Dell Studio
14z laptop makes it easy to carry their digital world with them.
Designed for students and others on the go who demand the perfect
balance of mobility and performance, the Studio 14z is a
homework-busting system by day and an entertainment powerhouse by night.
It features a svelte design and a huge 500GB1 hard drive
option that can store up to 125,000 songs, 142,000 photos or 133 DVD
quality movies2. The Studio 14z allows people to watch their
favorite movies and TV shows, listen to streaming music with friends,
store a vast MP3 collection and socially network from just about anywhere3.
The Studio 14z is the industry’s first consumer laptop available with FailSafe™
theft prevention. This option helps protect personal data should the
laptop go missing or be stolen. With FailSafe engaged, owners can track
network information and the ISP location of the laptop when it connects
to the Internet, and get help to remotely erase selected
files and render the laptop unusable until the rightful owner unlocks it.
“Young people have grown up with the Internet and can find almost
everything they need online.” said Michael Tatelman, vice president of
Dell’s global consumer sales and marketing. “They want a slim,
easy-to-carry laptop and like the choice of a larger hard drive over an
optical drive. The Studio 14z has the storage and speed that most people
need, and it comes with color options that let them truly express who
they are.”
The Studio 14z comes in six colors: Black Chain Link, Midnight Blue,
Spring Green, Plum Purple, Ruby Red and Promise
Pink (U.S. only). Dell will donate $5 to Susan G. Komen for the Cure®
from the purchase of each Promise Pink laptop.
The new laptop also comes with Dell Remote Access4; the
optional premium version allows people to access content via their
home network of personal computing devices including desktops,
laptops, ultra-mobile
devices, smart
phones and web cameras.
Priced from $649 U.S., the Studio
14z is available now online and over the phone in the U.S. and
Canada.
