The Dell Inspiron 11 3000 didn't inspire us much with its benchmark performance or relentless nagware, but its clever design, long battery life and ample I/O eventually won us over. And its starting price of $399 could be music to the ears of cash-strappe...

Priced from $600 to $2,000 or more, ultraportables skimp on size and weight but not on horsepower and features. The best of the lot feature fast Intel Core CPUs, 4GB of RAM, accelerated graphics and video, hi-res displays, and even solid state drives...

What's in an ultraportable? Think netbook on the outside, and real laptop on the inside. The small form factor means forgoing a DVD drive, and making due with a small screen and narrow keyboard. If that's a small price to pay for light weight (just 2...

Dell Inspiron M101z is an outgrowth of Dell’s mini Netbook systems; it is a bit bigger than standard 10 inch models. The display is 11 inches big and this computer is somewhere between a ultraportable laptop and a Netbook. It looks a lot like other 11...

Intel's Atom and CULV platforms have been the mainstay of ultra-portable notebooks for the past year or two, but there's now a new kid on the block that's hoping to unsettle the established order. Launched back in May, AMD's Nile platform - consisting...
There's plenty to like when it comes to Dell's Inspiron M101z. As far as 11.6in notebooks go, it's one of the best-looking and best-built systems we've come across. The chassis is rigid and finished with style and smooth curves, and both the keyboard t...

Is it or is it not a netbook? That's the question every time a pint-sized, relatively inexpensive laptop pops up in the PCMag Labs. Such is the case with the Dell Inspiron M101z ($580 direct): Its 11-inch chassis and sub-$600 price tag are bordering...
Very nice keyboard. Excellent navigating components. Fast hard drive. Lightweight. HDMI included. Plays back 1080p HD clips beautifully. Very good speakers for a little laptop.
Performance finished in the bottom. Battery life is not as impressive as its CULV counterparts.

I really like the Dell Inspiron M101z a lot. I was surprised to see that it didn’t score as high as the Acer Aspire One 521 in some benchmarks, because it feels very zippy, and unlike the Acer laptop the Dell has a full sized keyboard and a larger 11.6...

Dude, you got a Lenovo Yoga, except it's a Dell. Lots of companies have copied Lenovo's very successful 360 degree hinge design that turns a laptop into a tablet, and now it's Dell's turn. The Dell Inspiron 11 3000 is their counterpart to the Lenovo Yoga...
