Dell claims that the Latitude Z is the "world's thinnest, lightest" 16in. notebook. It's certainly one of the sharpest-looking Latitudes we've seen (if briefly) to date. Innovative features include a touch-sensitive EdgeTouch area on the screen surround, a webcam that scans to PDF, a multitouch trackpad, inductive charging and (in due course) wireless docking. You also get a pre-boot OS (in this case Latitude ON), which is becoming a near-ubiquitous feature of the latest generation of notebooks.
