Dell has introduced its new ultra-thin Latitude Z laptop with the world's first wireless laptop battery charger.

The laptop is just over half an inch (14.5 mm) thick and weighs 4.5 lb (2 kg), which according to Dell makes it the world's thinnest and lightest laptop. The soft touch finish and soft touch keyboard are aimed to give the user a feeling of luxury.

The optional wireless charger uses coils in the laptop and in a separate induction charging stand to produce an electromagnetic field that charges the battery. The induction stand is huge, and takes the same amount of time to charge the battery as an ordinary connection to the mains.

The laptop features a 16-inch high definition LCD display and a trackpad that supports hand gestures to zoom in and out. Another interesting feature is the "Edge Touch" frame surrounding the screen, that allows you to open applications such as email and the (optional) webcam by sliding your finger up the frame.
