Dell Widescreen 15.4 inch Laptop

Dell announced a widescreen 15.4" LCD Laptop today:


    The PC maker on Wednesday launched the Inspiron 8500 with a 15.4-inch wide-aspect screen featuring a resolution of up to 1,920 pixels by 1,200 pixels.

The 15.4" screen carries a 16:10 aspect ratio and provides a resolution up to 1920x1200.

Apple has been expected to upgrade their 15" Powerbook line after the most recent updates with an introduction of a 12" and 17" Powerbook in January. Hints of a 15.4" screen have trickled in, but little definitive information that this size will be adopted by Apple as well.
