With the XPS 15z, everyone from mobile warriors to students and small-business owners now have everything they need to work hard and play hard in one stunning package.

A leading-edge combination of uncompromising power and stunning design, the XPS 15z offers second-generation Intel Core i5 and Core i7 processors, optional 15.6-inch Full HD (1080p) display for superior entertainment and Web browsing experiences, a backlit keyboard with adjustable brightness and up to eight hours of battery life — all housed in a luxurious, eye-catching and elegantly crafted case that is less than an inch thick.

The XPS 15z is the first in a series of upcoming thin Inspiron- and XPS-branded products that deliver the ultimate blend of style and performance so users can pursue their personal passions.

“The XPS 15z delivers uncompromising performance in our most beautifully designed laptop yet,” said Papa. “It delivers all the must-have features — from next-generation Intel Core processors for incredible performance to optional Full HD screens that are up to 50 percent brighter than standard displays - all in a stunning form factor that makes it one of the thinnest PCs in the market,” Papa said.

Despite its incredibly slim exterior, the XPS 15z delivers uncompromising performance, including NVIDIA discrete graphics with Optimus technology that automatically switches to power-saving integrated graphics under reduced workloads, helping the battery last longer on coast-to-coast flights and for movie marathons.

In addition, it offers ample hard drive storage and a slot-loading DVD +/- RW drive for watching the latest movies or burning music to a disc. And the optional Full HD (1080p) display brings HDTV-type quality to the laptop screen.

At first glance, the XPS 15z’s clean aluminum design appears like it floats above the surface, and the polished, brushed finishes with sophisticated accents add to a luxurious appearance.
