It used to be that a commercial notebook needed only to be well-built and reliable. But as Dell sees it, those days are over, and business types are just as concerned about the statement their notebook makes to others as your modern consumer is.

Enter the Latitude Z. Dell’s new 16-inch notebook is less than an inch thick, has a starting weight of just 4.5 pounds with the standard four-cell battery, and features a soft-touch Black Cherry finish with chrome hinges, for the style-minded executive.

But aesthetics are only part of the Latitude Z’s story. Far more intriguing is the notebook’s ability to operate completely free of wires—at all times. An optional wireless charging station lets you simple set your notebook down upon it—no hooking up or plugging in anything—where its battery is re-juiced via an inductive coil inside the notebook’s bottom panel.

An optional docking station, featuring several USB ports along with a DVI port, uses Ultra-Wideband wireless technology, so your notebook can access connected devices—external storage, a printer, even a large HD-res screen—completely untethered. The Latitude Z starts at $1,999. Pricing for the wireless charging and docking stations is to be announced.
