The Dell Inspiron 11z has been shipping for just over a week, and Liliputing Forum member Frank  Ancona has already received his, and he’s posted his initial impressions in the forum.

The Inspiron 11z is an interesting machine. It has an 11.6 inch, 1366 x 768 pixel display and a 1.2GHz Intel CULV processor and integrated Intel GS45 graphics instead of the usual Intel Atom/GMA 950 graphics we see in 10 inch netbooks.

Frank reports that the laptop is very thin and light, weighing just about 3 pounds with a 3 cell battery. He reports it gets about 2.5 hours of battery life, which isn’t stellar. But if and when Dell offers a version with a 6 cell battery, it seems likely that you should be able to get 5 or more hours of run time.

You can read more in the forum.

The Inspiron Mini 11z is available from Dell for $399, although Frank points out that if you know anyone who can get you an employee discount, the price comes down to $359.
