CEO Envy + Impractical for Air Travel = Dell Lattitude Z Notebook
Today (9.29.09), Dell unveiled the Lattitude Z, a windows notebook meant to breed high levels of CEO envy. The Lattitude Z which sports a 16″ screen, 4.5 pounds and only .57 inches thick, is clearly designed as a desktop replacement and for business and first class travel. Bringing this into coach class certainly carries tremendous risk – imagine the sound of the brilliant HD widescreen being crushed as the passenger in front of you reclines his/her seat and catching the display between the seat and your tray table.
The Lattitude Z is being offered at $1999 and for an additional $200+ you can get a really neat docking station that allows for wireless charging and uses Ultra-wideband USB to connect to all your peripherals and display.

Dell makes move into Corporate Services; Acquires Perot Systems for $3.9B
Back in May, Dell hired David Johnson away from IBM to become its new M&A chief.
4 Months later, that move has provided dividends as the Wall Street Journal reported today that Dell has reached agreement with Perot Systems to acquire the corporate dataservices provider for $3.9B.
The move helps address some of the needs that Dell must address in its battle to remain competitive in the PC technology space. Long criticized for not having a services business to compete with HP, this move should help the company provide a well-rounded suite of service offerings to its Enterprise customers.
However, the Perot deal is not a panacea by any means. Dell still has to develop strong plans to strengthen its business outside of the US and Europe, where its most comfortable, and find ways to drive significant volumes of PCs in these low-cost / low-price markets.
Dell’s stock is indicating an open above $17/share and has performed well since hitting a low of mid 8′s this year. CEO Michael Dell is still under pressure from investors and analysts as the stock has not performed since its highs in the low 40′s back in 2005.
