Ultra-slim Dell Latitude 13 Unveiled
Techtree News Staff, Feb 02, 2010 1806 hrs ISTOffers SSD options, with other enterprise features
Dell had introduced an ultra-portable Vostro 13 last December. The company has now unveiled a new ultra-slim Latitude 13. With similar form factor, Latitude 13 appears to be a re-branded Vostro 13 notebook. Its close resemblance to Adamo laptop makes Latitude 13 thin and light laptop for business users. No details about the price and availability of this device are out as yet.
The new Latitude 13 will come with Enterprise features like ImageDirect Services which will allow IT users to create, update and deploy several system images on Latitude 13 models at once. Unlike Vostro 13, Dell will offer SSD option for Latitude 13 along with slew of other features like full disk encryption, Computrace recovery services and Trusted Platform Module.
Along with pre-installed Citrix client (for U.S. only), the Latitude 13 also features WiFi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth and WWAN Wireless options along with Blu-ray drive. No details about the processor, memory and storage limits were available. Dell might use Intel's low-voltage processor just like in Vostro 13.
After all, thin laptops are an "in-thing" these days. Both business professionals and consumers look forward to buy slim and light form factor laptops for average computing work. The most sought feature even in ultra-portable notebooks is the battery life. Let's hope the new fleet of ultra portable and ultra slim notebooks offer longer battery life than the previous generation bulky machines.
