Dell has announced the latest addition to its expanding line of Vostro laptops, the 12.1-inch Vostro 1220. This stylish, ultraportable laptop was designed exclusively for business travelers who are unwilling to comprise performance, battery life and security for a thin and lightweight design.

Available in Obsidian Black or Deep Cherry Red, the Vostro 1220 starts at a mere 3.36 lbs, is equipped with the latest Intel Core 2 Duo processors and features up to nine hours of battery life, making it an ideal traveling companion for on-the-go, global entrepreneurs.

According to IDC, worldwide commercial shipments of 12-inch widescreen laptops are expected to grow almost 35% from 2008 to 2009. “This trend supports what Dell has been hearing from our customers,” said Sam Burd, global VP, Dell Small and Medium Business. “Today’s globe-trotting entrepreneurs need a laptop that is powerful and long-lasting. That used to mean carrying around an ungainly device, the Vostro 1220 combines performance, built-in security and long battery life with useful features like videoconferencing to be the ideal weapon of choice for any road warrior.”
