Folks in UK are getting updated Dell Inspiron 11z from Dell UK outlet which have new updated touchpad.

“The touchpad is similar to that on the Inspiron 1545 where it is an indentation on the palmrest rather than being a separate pad. It is quite smooth to the touch compared with the older touchpad. The buttons are OK but feel a little cheap but it is very easy now to do proper right clicks and to click and drag. You lose some of the vertical space for moving around so it is worth increasing the speed of the pointer so you can move more easily around the screen in one go. It continues to support multi-touch like the previous touchpad.”

Dell has now made Windows 7 available for the 10.1” Mini 10v and 11.6” Inspiron 11z netbooks. The Mini 10 does not seem to be available with Windows 7 strangely.

For the Mini 10v, upgrading from XP Home to Windows 7 Starter is a $30 upgrade. For the Inspiron 11z, upgrading from Vista HP to Windows 7 HP (64-bit) costs $30, or $130 for Windows 7 Professional.
