“These new Dell PCs with AMD VISION technology are feature-packed, yet budget-friendly. They’re perfect for listening to music, streaming video and gaming, while connecting with friends and family via social networking sites and blogs,” said Glen Robson, VP, Dell consumer product marketing. “The Studio XPS 7100 desktop, in particular, delivers a nimble, clear, dependable experience for multitasking entertainment activities and multimedia creation.”

The Dell Studio XPS 7100 is one of the first desktops available to support the powerful AMD Phenom II X6 six-core processor with AMD Turbo Core technology, as well as available quad-core Athlon II processors, for fast HD media creation, advanced multimedia capabilities, multi-tasking and immersive 3D gaming experiences. With six-core processor power starting at $699, the Studio XPS 7100 has an oversized 460-watt power supply to support future expansion and hardware upgrades including AMD 125W class CPUs and 225W class graphics. It can be equipped with up to 16GB of fast DDR3 dual-channel memory and 3TB of hard drive storage. The XPS 7100’s integrated ports include eSATA, Optical S/PDIF and HDMI for more digital connections, plus an integrated 19-in-one media card reader and support for SATA 6Gb/s hard drives for high speed disk transfer of HD media.

Dell also will be bringing out new laptops under the AMD VISION brand. The Dell Inspiron M301z, a stylish, lightweight laptop with a 13.3-inch widescreen display, will be available shortly. For great performance, the Inspiron M301z is available with up to an AMD Turion II Neo K625 II low-voltage processor that offers long battery life for on-the-go entertainment. This laptop has powerful integrated ATi Mobility Radeon HD 4200 graphics, a hard drive up to 640GB, maximum 8GB of memory and a nice software package. With a built-in HDMI port carrying both high-definition video and audio in a single cable, the M301z can be quickly connected to a large screen TV to share the media playback experience.

The Dell Inspiron M501R, which will retail later this summer, brings quad-core performance to the Inspiron lineup. It features an AMD Phenom II Quad-Core processor with integrated ATi Mobility Radeon graphics or offers optional ATi Mobility Radeon discrete graphics for an even better visual experience. In addition to these powerful CPU and graphics options, the M501R has a 15.6-inch high-definition widescreen display and is available with up to 8GB memory and 640GB hard drive storage.

Dell’s support for AMD is still limited compared to its overall offerings. In fact the company has just launched new additions to its portfolio of Latitude E-Family laptops — targeting businesses and education. These machines feature Intel Celeron, Core i5 or i7 processors and Dell claims they give users enhanced security and a better mobile experience. The Dell Latitude E4310 is an ultraportable, built for road warriors. Just 13.3-inches, the Latitude E4310 offers advanced wireless connectivity options and retails for $1449. More affordable, are the Dell Latitude E5410 and E5510. These 14.1-inch and 15.6-inch laptops are designed to help simplify IT by reducing cost, deployment time and maintenance with an emphasis on stability, inter-compatibility, global support and business-class control. These new systems start at $759 and $789, respectively.

Dell would also like to capture more business among those companies interested in secondary computers for use as training workstations or to supplement desktop users. Its new Latitude 2110 builds on lessons Dell learned from the 2100, which was sold mostly to schools. Running the Intel Atom N470 processor, this PC has battery life of up to 10 hours and is equipped with collaboration tools, including advanced audio, microphone and optional webcam. It can also handle “anywhere” connectivity options such as WiFi, mobile broadband and WiMax. The Dell Latitude 2110 starts at $419.
