Dell launches Inspiron M5030: Spanish language Laptop

Dell has launched the Inspiron M5030, what it claims to be the first Spanish-language laptop sold within the U.S.

The Inspiron M5030 doesn't just have a Spanish-language operating system, as anyone can configure Windows or the Apple OS to operate in Spanish. The $499 notebook also contains a Spanish-language keyboard, designed to give Spanish speakers a more familiar experience.
Dell said it was targeting the 50.5 million Hispanics who live in the U.S.

However, the M5030 will launch in a limited release at BrandsMart USA shops in both Florida and Georgia.

"The launch of the laptop stems from Dell's commitment to listen to customers," said Gerald Zapata of Dell. "By listening, we realized there was a need to develop a laptop that was 100 percent designed for Spanish speakers, affordable and available in the United States. The concept was to introduce a laptop that meets all of these needs and enables Spanish-speaking families to better communicate and keep in touch with relatives, share information and experience the ultimate in technology."

Aside from the cosmetic changes to the OS and the keyboard interface, the new M5030 looks nearly identical to the existing M5030, a Dell laptop which is only sold in stores. The Spanish-language version includes an Athlon II P360 prcoessor, a 1366-by-768 15.6-inch widescreen display, 4 Gbytes of memory, DVD burner, 3-in-1 card reader, 802.11g/n, all running under Windows 7 Home Premium.
