Dell has released two new laptops from the nascent ULV class. The 11z, 13z and 14z are members of the Inspiron series and cost $550 and $5
80 respectively. ULV stands for Ultra Low Voltage and refers to processors designed to work at lower voltages and use less power.

In the case of the new Dell laptops, that translates into respective battery lives of 11 hours (13z with a 13.3 inch monitor) and 10 hours (15z with 15.6 inch monitor).

ULV processors do not require heavy cooling, which translates into small fans and flatter devices. The 13z is no more than 26.4 mm thick, while its brother the 15z measures only 29.2 mm.

Lenovo has refreshed its PC and laptop line-up with new Windows 7 OS. The company has launched a series of Think and Idea brands of PC which will pack the latest OS.

Targetted at business users, the 14-inch ThinkPad SL410 and 15.6-inch SL510, both pack Windows 7. Designed for small-to-medium businesses, the laptops offer higher-resolution webcams, clearer microphones, and a microphone mute button for voice and video conferencing.

The ThinkPad SL Series starts of the ThinkPad model update for Lenovo with the SL410 and SL510 being released in late September early October. Our sources tell us that this is likely to be the refreshed Montevina platform which will get a considerable performance increase in the 2nd quarter of 2009 with the 3.06GHz Core 2 Duo T9900, and the 2.66GHz Core 2 Duo P8800. Quite where these will fit in to the SL Series range will be interesting to see.

We could see the ThinkPad SL410 and SL510 having a real price/performance advantage over the T Series for a few months.
