Dell Announces New Latitude Ultrabooks and Laptops
Dell today unveiled the newest additions to its line of commercial PCs: the Latitude 7000 Series Ultrabooks, Latitude 5000 Series and Latitude 3000 Series laptops.
With this new suite, Dell balances design, quality construction and durability to offer businesses of all sizes a wide variety of solutions. The Latitude 7000, 5000, and 3000 Series are available with touch display options.
The Latitude 12 and 14 7000 Series feature Dell Data Protection solutions, encryption with Dell Data Protection Encryption and advanced authentication and malware prevention with Dell Data Protection Protected Workspace. Dell offers the manageable commercial PCs with exclusive Intel vPro extensions for remote BIOS management and hard drive wipe, even when systems are powered off, paired with Dell automated tools and utilities for easily deploying, monitoring and updating systems.
Each Latitude Ultrabook and laptop are crafted using brushed aluminum, reinforced magnesium alloy, strong steel hinges, woven carbon fiber, durable powder-coated underside, spill-resistant keyboards and LCD seals. Additionally, all Dell touch-enabled displays feature touch sensitivity and brightness. The Latitude 7000, 5000 and 3000 Series touch displays offer Corning Gorilla Glass NBT for up to 10 times higher scratch resistance compared to soda lime glass which is the predominant material used in laptop screens throughout the industry. Latitude laptops also come armed with StrikeZone shock absorbers, Fast Response Free-Fall sensors and rubber hard drive isolation.
The Latitude 7000 Series is powered by Intel ultra-low voltage processors. The Ultrabooks are:
- Made to move, with the 12-inch model starting at just 20 millimeters thin and 1.3kilograms (2.99 pounds)
- Easy for IT to manage with integrated management capabilities including Dell Intel vPro extensions and automated tools that plug into Microsoft System Center and Dell KACE
