Man,
Dell's making a serious push to get its wares out to the masses this fall. Just days after we spotted an
Adamo chillin' in House M.D., a shiny new
Latitude Z has now been spotted in NBC's own Parks & Recreation. Granted, we can't actually see that any work is being done (the default blue wallpaper isn't exactly telling), but when you've got Amy Meredith Poehler running the grandiose
city town of Pawnee, Indiana, you can only expect so much. But hey, look on the bright side -- we're pretty sure the proceeds from eBaying that Latitude Z would more than cover the flora she purchased while under the influence, wouldn't you agree?
[Thanks, Andrew]

Hell even Charlie Harper has a Dell, all of these shows are corporate sponsored why is this news ? The odd snippet of a new gadget on a TV show is interesting but when companies pay to have their products placed in shows why are you just publishing support for this kind of corporate satan cock sucking ?
Yes Sprint and Nissan sponsor Heroes and Dell sponsors almost everything.
Oh no... not the Rouge!
I almost stopped watching after that... but Hayden is just too smoking hot to stop.
Actor on TV uses product. Film at 11.
I love how you're rallying against free publicity on a blog that gives nothing but it.
Emo freaks don't wear pink and blue. Plus she doesn't have that white makeup shit all over her face and 50 pieces of metal sticking out of her head.
what's weird is how often you'll see a macbook pro with a sticker over the apple logo
When I see a chick with that kind of look, I jet for the nearest exit soon as possible.
Do you pull your pants up first, or do you just make a break for it?
Warning of PMS.
just run!.
Jesus, she's hideous and doesn't know how to hold a pen either. And is that a standard issue Borg arm replacement or just living tissue over metal endo skeleton.
@(Unverified) I'd still hit it.
I'd hit that,
nice looking Dell too
damn that show is too funny.
whats with emo girl?
Fly my stereotypes, fly!
ummm.... Thats not a Z.
Uh, check the pictures guys. That's not a Z. The hinge is wrong, the corners are wrong, it's way too thick. The indicator lights are even on the wrong side.
not only is it not a Z, it is _blatantly_ not a Z. that's some kneejerk reportage on an issue which, had it even been accurate, would have been non-newsworthy at best.
@(Unverified) Yeah but I'd still hit it.
That Dell laptop featuring in 'Parks & Recreation' is NOT a Latitude Z. It's a 15.4" Latitude E5400 or E6500. If the simple and blatant fact that it is actually a Latitude E5400 / E6500 laptop and not a Latitude Z laptop is not enough, then look closely at the rear area of the notebook. It's completely different to the Latitude Z. Notably, the battery indicator light on the lid is in a different place than on the Latitude Z, and there's no 'wedge' on the back like on the Latitude Z, but instead a black extended 9-cell battery.
Yep, definetly a Latitude E-Series :)
yeah exactly! lol it's waaay too thick to be a Z. Plus the Z isn't shipping for 18 more days.
aubrey plaza *swoons*
oh yea that's real news- seeing a Dell on TV is more common than a light fixture on TV. Whatever, I'm not a big fan of Dell
She puts the dis-interested we've-all-seen-them-at-shops-and-counters girl down so well, if she can do other types just as well she should get an award.
i'd park my recreation if you know what i mean
boxxy?
does not look similar at all. stop that
baaawwwwxxxxyyyy?
Apparently a tiny bit of eyeliner and straight hair makes you emo.
Her character is very straight faced deadpan too, it's not the looks alone that prompts people to jump for the nearest word, although you must have seen an episode to know that so I'm not sure this explains all such comments.
I can see its a slow news morning
Yep no Snow leopard files to point to a new mac tablet anywhere in sight.
it was used on Bones last night also.
Holy emo goth chick batman....check that not goth. Not enough black. But def emo.
people have no idea what emo even means anymore...
Basically. I couldn't be sad around ANY of these people without being called emo.
Parks and Recreation is most definitely the best sit-com on TV at the moment.
Aziz Ansari...how can you not love him?
you are on crack
It's the E series and she has man hands. Ewe.
She totally has man hands, I thought I was the only one that noticed.
@flanders They're cybernetic organism hands.
That girl in the pic looks like the Japanese pop singer, MiChi
So...this is a series that will help show us products that manufacturers pay to have shown on shows...this is like some crazy meta version of product placement y'all.
FLASHFOWARD is a much better show. LOST fans, make sure you watch. (Thursdays, 8/7c on ABC) Would you rather see a stupid PC advertisement in the #4 TV show in it's time slot, or the return of Charlie (from LOST) on the #1 show in the time slot?
