Continuing in my series of posts about Haswell-based Windows laptops, Dell recently announced a few Windows 8 laptops in it’s Inspiron line that run Haswell. These are regular laptops, not tablet hybrids. Recall that Haswell in theory provides much longer battery life, and these new laptops don’t disappoint: Dell says the 14-inch Core i5 Inspiron 7000 can run up to nearly 9 hours.
Here is some more information about the new high-end Inspirons ($800+) that are now thinner and aluminum based:
