News.com meldt dat Dell gisteren is begonnen met de levering van een nieuwe generatie Inspiron laptops met 15" Ultra XGA LCD display. Deze nieuwe schermen hebben een resolutie van maar liefst 1600*1200px! Goedkoop zijn de UXGA schoothondjes helaas niet: een Inspiron 5000e met 600MHz PIII gaat 5495 dollar kosten:
While the performance and disk storage offered with notebooks have largely caught up with desktop PC systems, display technology has lagged far behind. PCs traditionally have offered greater display resolution for consumers working with multiple programs or for multimedia and graphics arts professionals.
But Dell is trying to change that by offering notebooks with Ultra XGA (UXGA), the latest in high-resolution displays. While Dell may be the first to offer UXGA, other major PC manufacturers are expected to quickly follow the Round Rock, Texas-based company.
The higher resolution and greater density of the screens mean crisper, brighter images, making the notebooks reasonable replacements for low-end multimedia PC workstations, say analysts.
Thanks Nightlight voor de tip.
