Dell has launched its first business notebook featuring AMD processors.

The Latitude 131L is available straight away, featuring a 15.4-inch wide-screen display with a choice of AMD Mobile Sempron or dual core AMD Turion 64 X2 Mobile processor.

The business-focused notebook also comes packed with integrated graphics options and has been primed for Microsoft Windows Vista.

Reducing power consumption and increasing productivity for mobile workers was a key consideration, according to the computer giant.

Dell's Energy Smart setting will help businesses reduce electricity costs by more sensibly using computing resources.

"We believe today is the right time for this partnership and believe that there are joint opportunities for both companies," said Eric Greffier, director of Client Products at Dell, Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) of the Dell/AMD union.

He added: "Dell continues to enhance its innovative and affordable line of notebooks to help companies conduct business on the move.

"We are committed to helping our customers get the most out of their mobile technology investment, enabling them to achieve significant improvements in both productivity and energy costs, whilst growing a truly mobile workforce."

Pricing for the new Latitude notebook starts at £440 for the AMD Sempron version and £485 for the one featuring dual-core AMD Turion 64 X2 mobile technology.
