Dell intros new Latitude business laptops, including a flagship Ultrabook (hands-on)

Posted on 27/08/2013 by Dana Wollman

Fun fact: the XPS 13 Ultrabook we liked so much also happens to be one of Dell's best-selling products. It's been so successful, in fact, that even large corporations have been thinking of issuing it to their employees (you know, instead of all those other black boxes). Of course, they can't really do that -- the XPS 13 wasn't built with businesses' security needs in mind -- but their begging and pleading did get Dell thinking. Why not make something similar that's secure enough to pass muster with the IT guys?%Gallery-slideshow73368%

Dell’s Latitude 10 tablet, OptiPlex 9010 all-in-one and Latitude 6430u Ultrabook all available now

Posted on 23/10/2012 by Dana Wollman

Remember last month when Dell announced an all-in-one, Ultrabook and dockable 10-inch tablet, all aimed at enterprise users? Well, they've finally gotten some proper prices, and are now up for sale on Dell's site. Starting with the Latitude 10 Windows 8 tablet, it starts at $650 -- about right for a 10-inch, Atom-powered slate with an IPS display and 1,366 x 768 resolution. Other specs include two gigs of RAM, up to 128GB of eMMC NAND storage and, most notably, a swappable 60Wh battery. On the tablet itself, you've got a USB 2.0 port, a micro-USB socket for charging, mini-HDMI, a headphone port, micro-SIM slot and a full-size SD reader. The dock adds four USB 2.0 connections, along with Ethernet, HDMI and audio output.

Moving on, the Latitude 6430u Ultrabook has a 14-inch matte display with 1,366 x 768 resolution. As it happens, it's one of those 14-inch displays crammed into a 13-inch chassis, so the bezels should be pretty narrow. Configuration options include your usual array of Core i3, i5 and i7 processors (vPro optional), with up to 8GB of RAM and up to 256GB of solid-state storage. Prices start at $900. Lastly, in case you missed it last month, the OptiPlex 9010 is a 23-inch all-in-one desktop with 1080p resolution and vPro-equipped processors. Design-wise, it's identical to a model Dell announced earlier this year, only now it runs Windows 8, not 7. That starts at $1,200.

More slides on Dell’s Windows 8 Latitude 10 tablet surface, detail docking station and launch window

Posted on 14/06/2012 by Sarah Silbert

A slide detailing a Dell Latitude 10 tablet running Windows 8 surfaced late last month, and today more information about that slate has hit the internet. Neowin's "insider source" provided additional slides pertaining to the Dell Latitude 10, rounding out the product's specs and adding its time-to-market to the picture. According to the leaked roadmap, the 10.1-inch device is slated to ship between mid-November and mid-January, and it looks like Dell will offer a docking station with four USB ports, Ethernet, HDMI, built-in mobile broadband and even an optional stylus. Specs match up with those in the previously published slide, though Neowin says Dell may also release a Windows RT tablet around October. Head to the source link for the complete gallery of Latitude 10 slides.

Dell outs new E series Latitude laptops, Optiplex AIO and desktops to entice the enterprise

Posted on 31/05/2012 by Michael Gorman

Round Rock just rolled out some new consumer machines this week, so it comes as no surprise that it's doling out some fresh computing goodies to the enterprise as well. First up is the new Dell Latitude E series laptops that come with a variety of ports for your connecting pleasure: one eSATA/USB combo, two USB 3.0 ports, a serial connector, 3.5mm headphone jack, plus HDMI and Gigabit ethernet. All those sockets come embedded in a chassis made of magnesium alloy that's been powder-coated on the bottom, giving it a lightweight, yet sturdy look and feel. In keeping with the tough-but-light theme, the top of these Latitudes are sheathed in aluminum, and the hinges are made of steel. Additionally, though it's a new machine, it's backwards compatible with many previous-gen Latitude docks and batteries
