Dell launches XPS 12 convertible, Latitude 10 tablet and Latitude 6340u ultrabook
First up is the XPS 12 convertible.
This, when docked, looks like a fairly traditional laptop/ultrabook for
the most part. But the flip hinge allows you to release the touchscreen
display and use the device like a full-fledged tablet. The display is a
full HD (1920 x 1080 pixel) one.
Dell says, “The touchscreen display is
designed to take advantage of the Windows 8 operating system advances
for touch interaction”. The XPS 12 convertible’s chassis is a mixture of
machined aluminum and carbon fibre, while the display has the Gorilla
Glass add-on. Users will have the choice of a Core i5 and a Core i7
processor, 4GB or 8GB of RAM and up to 256GB SSD. The price of the XPS
12 convertible starts at Rs. 90,490.
The Dell Latitude 6340u ultrabook is a refresh of the existing Latitude ultrabook. The new design is 33 percent slimmer and 16 percent lighter than Dell’s current 14-inch Latitude
notebook. Users have the option of selecting the 14-inch display with
any one of the two resolution types – 1366 x 768 pixels and 1600 x 900
pixels. This ultrabook will come with Windows 8 preloaded. Dell says
that this ultrabook will be available from the middle of November, with
prices starting at Rs. 69,990.
The Latitude 10 tablet is also aimed at
businesses with what Dell calls “easy management and security and a
swappable battery for go-anywhere productivity”. The tablet can easily
be integrated with most existing remote management systems that
organizations use. The 10.1-inch display has a 1366 x 768 pixel
resolution and gets the Gorilla Glass treatment as well. Dell Data
Protection will allow users to encrypt the data on the hard drive as
well as block access via any external devices. The Latitude 10 tablet
will be available starting end of November with price tag fixed at Rs.
42,490.
Commenting on the occasion, Mr. P. Krishnakumar, Executive Director, Marketing, Dell India
said, “The combination of new Dell hardware and Windows OS will allow
customers to create and consume content in new and exciting ways which
makes technology more accessible and intuitive.” He further added, “The
new products launched today are all about maximizing the balance between
end user preferences, productivity and IT control, backed by robust
customer service, aimed at helping users and IT departments navigate the
Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) landscape.”
Quite frankly, the XPS 12 convertible is
one device that really excites us. It may be aimed at the business
user, but for the kind of functionality it offers, we would not be
surprised if it appeals to a wider demographic of users. And we have
seen the amazing build quality of the XPS 13 and the XPS 14 ultrabooks
already, and with similar materials used on this as well, happiness
beckons! Windows 8 should be a lot more fun to use with the touchscreen
capabilities.
