Dell has made another announcement today. In addition to the 30-inch LCD monitor launched this morning, the US-based company has added a high-end entertainment laptop for those looking for a cinema-like experience and design studio.

The Inspiron 9400 supports Intel’s lastest Dual Core Duo processors, so you can watch movies on the 17-inch TrueLife display (1920x1200 pixels) while running anti-virus scans without compromising on performance.

The display provides a vivid viewing experience for DVDs and photos because it has a higher contrast ratio than a traditional screen with anti-glare.

The Inspiron 9400 also includes nVidia’s high-end 256MB GeForce Go 7800 graphics card for realistic gaming and multimedia. And even when turned off, the Inspiron 9400 keeps entertaining without needing to be booted - within seconds of pressing the Dell MediaDirect button, you can play videos, music or photo slideshows stored on the hard disk drive, optical drive or from the included 5-in-1 media card reader.

Connectivity options include a single FireWire port, six USB 2.0 ports, 5-in-1 removable memory card reader, 15-pin analogue monitor connector, Digital Video Interface (DVI) port, ExpressCard slot, Gigabit Ethernet, 7-pin mini-DIN connector (S-Video), stereo headphones/speakers miniconnector and microphone jacks. The 6-cell Lithium-ion battery should last around 3 hours, according to Dell.

The Inspiron 9400 is priced at £1449, including VAT and delivery throughout EMEA. It also ships with Microsoft’s Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005, 1GB of 667MHz DDR2 memory (upgradable to a maximum 2GB), 56K Data Fax Modem, 60- or 80GB hard disk drive, 8x DVD+/-RW drive, and 1-year limited warranty.
