Also, am I missing something, I cannot see a scroll wheel, I can see a 2-way rocker switch (the X61T has a 4-way pad)?

I agree that Dell are doing a much better job of the looks of the latitudes lately and are emulating the ThinkPad look quite well (as are HP) and the design/quality has improved dramatically over the last couple of years but they are still not as good as ThinkPads]]>Oct 12th 2007 4:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/12/dells-latitude-xt-up-close-a-bit-too-close/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/12/dells-latitude-xt-up-close-a-bit-too-close/Oct 12th 2007 7:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/12/dells-latitude-xt-up-close-a-bit-too-close/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/12/dells-latitude-xt-up-close-a-bit-too-close/Oct 12th 2007 9:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/12/dells-latitude-xt-up-close-a-bit-too-close/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/12/dells-latitude-xt-up-close-a-bit-too-close/Oct 12th 2007 11:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/12/dells-latitude-xt-up-close-a-bit-too-close/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/12/dells-latitude-xt-up-close-a-bit-too-close/]]>Oct 12th 2007 11:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/12/dells-latitude-xt-up-close-a-bit-too-close/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/12/dells-latitude-xt-up-close-a-bit-too-close/now

If you're going to make commercials sawing other laptops in half to say you're coming out with a revolutionary tablet, maybe you should take the time to consult an industrial designer. Hell, I'll settle for a fashion designer...

With all these companies teaming up with Prada or *insert high end fashion company here* come on Dell, even you by now must be getting the message. THE DESIGN MATTERS!!]]>Oct 12th 2007 5:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/12/dells-latitude-xt-up-close-a-bit-too-close/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/12/dells-latitude-xt-up-close-a-bit-too-close/
And monkey, is the thing going to be stuck with just the 1.2ghz ULV chips? I was hoping they'd have some 1.8ghz LV chips offered as well...]]>Oct 12th 2007 10:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/12/dells-latitude-xt-up-close-a-bit-too-close/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/12/dells-latitude-xt-up-close-a-bit-too-close/

The device this is poised to directly compete against is the Fujitsu T2010 which is probably thinner guesstimating from the pictures, gets more battery life and has the same specs. I'm glad I placed the order on the T2010 when I did and got the discount, if it gets here today I'll be ecstatic.

Some specs I gleaned from a poor translation of the link.

Dell Latitude XT Tablet
2 types of screen, CCFL & LED backlit 12.1" 1280x800
1.2ghz Core 2 Duo ULV U7600
up to 3gb of ram
ATI X1250
4,6,9 cell battery options
3 usb ports
bluetooth + wifi N
3.5-3.96lbs depending on battery

The most important question which is not answered from this link is if its conventional active digitizer or touchscreen.]]>Oct 12th 2007 12:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/12/dells-latitude-xt-up-close-a-bit-too-close/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/12/dells-latitude-xt-up-close-a-bit-too-close/Oct 12th 2007 12:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/12/dells-latitude-xt-up-close-a-bit-too-close/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/12/dells-latitude-xt-up-close-a-bit-too-close/Oct 12th 2007 12:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/12/dells-latitude-xt-up-close-a-bit-too-close/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/12/dells-latitude-xt-up-close-a-bit-too-close/Oct 12th 2007 1:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/12/dells-latitude-xt-up-close-a-bit-too-close/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/12/dells-latitude-xt-up-close-a-bit-too-close/now

On the feature side, it sounds dead-on for what I'm looking for. The N-trig digitizers are pretty nice (Wacom is great, but that doesn't mean they are the only folks who can do it).

I'm looking forward to more info/pics/pricing.]]>Oct 14th 2007 3:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/12/dells-latitude-xt-up-close-a-bit-too-close/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/12/dells-latitude-xt-up-close-a-bit-too-close/
This is a real bummer. I thought this would be less than an inch thick.

In response to someone else's comment, there will be a switch to use this in either touch or traditional penabled mode (just not simultaneously).

This thing definitely looks like a hunk....Someone should have a "how would you design this dell" contest. yikes]]>Oct 14th 2007 11:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/12/dells-latitude-xt-up-close-a-bit-too-close/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/12/dells-latitude-xt-up-close-a-bit-too-close/Oct 15th 2007 9:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/12/dells-latitude-xt-up-close-a-bit-too-close/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/12/dells-latitude-xt-up-close-a-bit-too-close/Oct 18th 2007 2:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/12/dells-latitude-xt-up-close-a-bit-too-close/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/12/dells-latitude-xt-up-close-a-bit-too-close/Oct 25th 2007 4:57PM
