Dell’s Ultrabook model uses a 14-inch
screen with anti-glare technology to help users use it effectively even outdoors.
A quick testing showed that colors will still be displayed well although they
are not as brilliant as on LCDs. The viewing angle is just at an average level.
When viewed diagonally, images quickly become darkened and if the angle is too wide,
their colors will even be displayed inaccurately.

machine automatically turned off (at 5% of battery), this time achieved was 2
hours 53 minutes.
