Power is the final frontier in the war against fully wireless laptops. Dell is stepping up the fight with the Latitude Z. The notebook offers a slew of wireless features, including 802.11n, UWB, Bluetooth, and WiMax, but it's the inclusion of an inductive notebook charging stand that's really unique.
The technology, Cisco Cheng points out in his recent hands-on, over at PCMag, is similar to the one employed by the Palm Pre's Touchtone charger. Sitting the notebook on the stand will charge it up, without having to plug a wire directly into the device.
There's plenty more to like about this thin 16-inch business system. You can check out the rest of the features over at PCMag.

Oh that is CRAZY COOL. Please Dell, PLEASE push to make this technology mainstream. I realize that this may not mean the end of the massive power brick (it's just between the docking station and the wall now) but it might mean slimmer, trimmer docking stations and easier charging in multiple locations soon.

I am looking for a reasonable laptop for my five year old grandson. He really loves computers and will be using for school as well.
Can you recommend a wireless model that is reasonable in price, as well as durable.
Thanks
