Dell 'Lafite' enters the FCC, emerges as the Latitude E4310

Good old Dell and its FCC submissions. After the E6410 and E6510 were revealed at the start of this month, the Round Rock vendor is back with the flamboyantly named Lafite laptop, which will make its retail presence known under the more familiar moniker of Latitude E4310. Once again, we're talking about computers firmly focused on business use, as evidenced by the integrated RFID chip. The Commission disclosure also informs us of UWB, WLAN and WWAN connectivity options, though it leaves us to guess at the rest of the specs. Space for Intel (Arrandale chips, most likely) and Microsoft labels is par for the course, and we were impressed by the thin chassis profile, schematics of which you can see after the break. Can't be long to go now before we see this 13-inch ultraportable make its debut, presumably alongside a similarly upgraded E4210.

M4500 ?

There won't be an E4210. That line has been discontinued now that they've got the ultra slim 13in systems.

This line of Latitude laptops are ugly throw backs to the 90's. They look like bigger version of the old Dell and Thinkpad designs. I'm upgrading my D630 as soon as they ditch these ugly things and get something a little be more appealing to the eyes and better built.

@admlshake good luck with that. This is only the first refresh for the E platform.

Think about how your D630 got to be named and then think about waiting for E4220 and E4230 to come and go before your "appealing" redesign.
