For starters, the stand is huge. From press photos, it appears to be a large plate connected to an even larger stand, containing a base surface and an equally huge raised platform. You'll need a nice desk to support this lavish set-up--laptop, in the literal sense, this is not--and you won't want to take it with you.
Also, the charger itself is no more effective than a standard AC plug. Steve Belt, Dell's vice president of business client engineering, told IDG that the wireless charger takes the same amount of time to juice a laptop as an AC connection.
For these privileges, you'll pay an extra $200 on top of the Latitude Z's base $2,000 price tag. For that money, I'd rather buy one or two more power cords, and plant them in the places where I use my laptop most.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not knocking the Latitude Z as a whole. The notebook boasts a few features that like to see in more laptops. Among them is the instant-on feature that lets you check e-mail and browse the Web during start-up (HP has beaten Dell to the punch here). There's also an optional wireless docking station that lets you connect TVs and USB devices while moving around freely with the laptop itself. Unlike the charger, the docking station seems worth the extra $200, especially if you plan to watch Web video through your television.
Dell may be the world's first computer maker to pair wireless docking with an inductive laptop charger, but I won't shed a tear if it's also the last.
Comment: For myself, i did use a DELL laptop, but so far i never think that is necessary to have a wireless charger because DELL laptop design is quite large in size and weight, so if add on with the wireless charger will be quite QIANT in size
well, wireless charging is something new that i never heard b4, can u post some pics for me to have a look plz....thanks...^^
