The associated advantages of wireless computing became a little more layered today after hardware manufacturer Dell Inc. revealed its new Latitude Z business notebook, which is the world’s first portable computer equipped with wireless charging technology.

Described by Dell as a “purpose engineered” platform, the Latitude Z is offered up as another step in the company’s strategy to develop differentiated form factors and solutions that meet specific customer usage needs.
Aimed at “impression makers” such as entrepreneurs, attorneys, creative professionals, salespeople and leading higher education faculty,” the 16-inch Latitude Z is the result of blended design, business functionality and innovation.
Core technical attributes aboard the Latitude Z include a high-definition WLED display screen (1600 x 900), an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, up to two 256GB SSD drives, a modest 2.0 mega pixel camera, Dell’s EdgeTouch bezel control interface, WLAN, Bluetooth, and optional high-speed 3G broadband connectivity.
However, one of the Latitude Z’s main points of attraction resides in its accompanying dock station, which the notebook clicks into wirelessly in order to receive its charge refill.
And, what’s more, the desktop dock also boasts USB connectivity so that other household devices can easily communicate with the Latitude Z through built-in Ultra Wide Band.
Other contributing features include FaceAware facial recognition security, a soft-touch Black Cherry finish, a four-cell battery, a slim form factor of less than an inch, and a starting weight of just 4.5lbs (about half a pound heavier than the Adamo).
Available now in select territories across Europe and Asia and also the U.S. and Canada, the Dell Latitude Z is tethered to a starting price of $1,999 USD.
