Dell quotes the battery life of the Inspiron 13R as being 5 hours and 41 minutes with the standard 6-cell battery. With a weight of around 4lbs, 13” screen and 5+ hours of battery life the Inspiron 13R would work well as a laptop to carry around campus. Furthermore the price should start at around $449 for the 13R so it will fit the slimmer budget that most college students have.
Below are some pictures taken from the Dell website for the Inspiron 13R:
The actual ability to purchase and configure the Inspiron 13R is not up yet but expect to see that next week.
