Dell goes giga with latest laptop

Dell has become the latest PC vendor to release a notebook powered by Intel's 1GHz desktop chip.

The Inspiron notebook pairs the chip with a 15 inch screen and a starting price of under $2,500, with Dell targeting it squarely at users running games, music, digital photography and multimedia websites.

The latest high-speed chip is being touted as a major leap towards integrating Bluetooth wireless technology on mobile computers.

Compaq, Gateway, HP, IBM and Toshiba plan to launch 1GHz notebooks based on the Intel mobile Pentium III chip by next week.

However, customers of Intel's arch-rival AMD are not planning on introducing the 1GHz Athalon powered notebooks until June.
