You’ve heard a lot in the past few weeks about Dell’s new enterprise solutions for small and medium businesses. At the other end of the spectrum, we’re also helping redefine the way small businesses think about mobile computing.
Business is no longer restricted to the office environment, and entrepreneurs need the flexibility to work wherever and however business requires – especially in today’s tough economy. For most small businesses across the globe, laptops continue to be the most critical tools that keep day-to-day business going and growing. That’s why we offer the industry’s broadest lineup of small-business laptops to meet the diverse needs of our customers on the go.
You may have already seen this sneak-peek, but let me give you some inside perspective on today’s announcement (insert link) of the new Vostro 1220 ultraportable 12.1” laptop – the industry’s only 12” designed especially for small business that packs the punch of a full-size laptop into a small package. Our competitors can’t make that claim nor do their small business systems offer the security options of the Vostro line – mobility solid state drives, fingerprint readers and encrypted hard drives.
We first launched a 12.1” Vostro in Asia in late 2007 with incredible success, and now the 11-12” panel size is growing in popularity among commercial customers everywhere. From the launch of our first Vostro 12.1” system to today, we learned a lot from our customers in Asia and made critical improvements based on their feedback and technology advancements that will now benefit customers worldwide. The biggest improvements since the last generation include:
- Improved performance with the latest generation Intel processors;
- Up to 8GB of memory and faster HDD options;
- More ways to secure your data – encrypted hard drives, solid state drives;
- Video conferencing;
- Faster connectivity with gigabit and wi-fi options, and
- Up to 9 hours of battery life.
Finally, let me add that this is just the beginning of what Dell is innovating for our small business customers! We’ll have more exciting news to share soon, so stay tuned to Direct2Dell for the latest scoop.
