Welcome to a laptop battery specialist of the dell laptop battery
Dell XPS 13 Ultrabook and MacBook Air Side by side
Repeating the advice of my friend and Small Business Guru – Ramon Ray – Technology should be used to solve a business problem.I have been using a variety of tablets. I think of tablets as an excellent After Hours device and I feel the need to use a laptop for business, document, spreadsheets, email, connectivity, VPN etc. You can do this on a tablet but I find it better to use a laptop.
I think my problem was solved by the Dell XPS 13 Ultrabook I got from Dell to try out (disclaimer below) . The last Dell product I used was actually well ahead of it’s time. It was the Dell AXIM PDA and at the time it was a cutting edge pocket PC and I used it till smartphones became popular. Dell makes great products and I like the pioneering work Dell has done in using social media to engage and communicate with their customers and community.
5 things to like about the Dell XPS 13
1.It starts and shuts down very fast with the Windows 7 Home Premium and a SSD drive. A solid state drive is technology that makes the drive accessible easier. Of course, this could be a inconvenience, and I say this in humor, if you are used to windows taking enough time for you to get your coffee before it boots up .
2.Display – The screen has a 13 inch display but Dell has excelled in fitting the screen and making the laptop thinner. It is smaller than my 13 inch Macbook Air.
3.It has a lighted keyboard so in dark places you can still see and type.
4.It is very light and easy to carry and has longer battery such as dell Vostro A860 battery

life than laptops. This reviewer of the Dell XPS 13 says he got 4 hours and seven minutes of battery life.
5.I could connect to a corporate VPN without any problems. Not being able to to do that with the Macbook Air had bothered me.
The only less than optimal experience was with the trackpad for the Dell XPS 13 Ultrabook. It hung a few times and was too quick. Disabling the two finger scroll fixed that for me and I did not notice any difference. Dell ships the Dell XPS 13 Ultrabook with a clean desktop and I was off and running in just a few minutes. Having Chrome synced between machines helped me with all the sites I visit regularly and was a breeze to install.
In conclusion, if you are a Windows fan and were bothered about not having a device like the Macbook Air, well Dell has solved the problem. The Dell XPS 13 Ultrabook starts at a retail price of $999. In case you are considering a new laptop the Dell XPS13 Ultrabook should definitely be in your list to check out first.
