Dell Inspiron 13z and 14z Start at $600, Upgrade Budget Line

Dell is kicking things up a notch in the otherwise bland world of budget notebooks with the addition of the Inspiron 13z and Inspiron 14z notebooks. These new Inspiron notebooks start at an attractive $599.

The Inspiron 14z and 13z have more in common with the Dell XPS 15z we recently reviewed than they do with the rest of the Inspiron line, known for plastics and bright colors.

The Dell Inspiron z notebook have traded in the plastic for aluminum palm rests and covers, a move that is similar to HP’s decision to bring metal lids to the Pavilion line last year.

The new Inspiron z notebooks are thinner then we are used to in the budget range, but they aren’t thin and light notebooks by any stretch. The Inspiron 14z measures 1 inch a the thickest point and weighs in at 5 pounds.
