5 Reasons Why Dell's Latitude Z Notebook Beats Apple's MacBook Air

Dell launched the Latitude Z laptop out of nowhere and compared to the fanfare that accompanied its previous sleek-and-posh notebook, the Adamo, the Texan company has been unreasonably quiet about what turned out to be an excellent product.

The Latitude Z has a number of features that set it apart from the competition and even manages to pull it, almost effortlessly, ahead of Apple's Mac Book Air even if the latter is 4mm thinner.

(1) Wireless Charger

One has to wonder why this feature hasn't been introduced before on any laptops (or indeed, any other mainstream electronic devices). Simple, chic, effortless and very classy and a truly useful solution although you will have to buy the accompanying, charging stand for £159.

(2) 16-inch screen

Apple's screen is a 13.3-inch. The Latitude Z is a full 2.7-inch bigger, at 16-inch, and it packs even more pixels. 1.44 million pixels compared to only 1.024 million for the MBA. A no-brainer here.

(3) Removable Battery

One of the biggest complaints about Apple's sublime laptop is the fact that you simply can't upgrade the battery. That's not a problem with the Latitude Z which offers two battery options, the bigger being a 80w Lithium-Ion one.
