Computer giant Dell today introduced its ultimate notebook for travelling professionals, the Latitude X1.
Starting at 2.5 pounds, the Latitude X1 is designed for mobile users who demand the lightest possible weight without sacrificing performance or durability.
Alex Gruzen, senior vice president of Dell said,
"Dell is responding to the demands of our most frequently travelling business customers. While lighter than any other Dell notebook, the Latitude X1 combines the latest mobile processors, wide screen displays, optimal for viewing for the multiple windows found in the latest productivity applications, and an outstanding keyboard that focuses on usability."
The back of the LCD screen is reinforced to protect against the pressure of an overstuffed bag placed under seat or in an overhead bin. The keyboard is also sealed to protect against spills.
The 12.1-inch, wide-aspect display has shorter height than traditional screens and fits easily in tray tables pinched by fully reclined seats. For the lightest total travel weight possible, the Latitude X1 comes with an extremely small power adapter that is almost 50 percent smaller than the typical Latitude power adapter. When configured with the optional six-cell battery, users can expect up to six hours of battery life while adding only 0.3 pound.
The Latitude X1 is powered by Intel's Centrino Mobile Technology and offers Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g), Bluetooth and Gigabit Ethernet connectivity as standard.
According to a recent research study by Gartner, Inc. across all countries/markets, the first reason for purchasing mobile PCs (by large businesses) was "increasing number of travelling/field workers".
Available now, prices start at $1,699.
