Google has teamed up with Dell to launch its latest Chromebook 13, a business-focused notebook with a premium design, Digital Spy reveals.

The laptop has a carbon fibre weave cover, a magnesium alloy palm rest and an aluminium base, with a 13.3-inch IPS display encased in Gorilla Glass.

Users have a choice between an Intel Core i3 or Core i5 processor with up to 8GB of RAM, depending on how much they are willing to spend.

There's also a 720p webcam built in for HD video chats and a battery that Dell claims will last for 12 hours off a single charge.

Like its Chromebook predecessors, the laptop comes fully loaded with Google's array of software as well as a range of business services from Dell.
