Dell to launch Latitude 2120 netbook at CES?
Among the many new-product announcements that have been released in the time leading up to CES, word on the web is that Dell will launch a new Latitude 2120 netbook at the Vegas convention next week. Apparently, the 2120 has specs identical to the previously available 2110, but gets double the computing power of the single core Intel Atom N470 chipset in its predecessor courtesy of a dual core N550 processor. While the upgraded processor is the big news, sources indicate the newest Latitude gets an optional Broadcom Crystal HD video accelerator, which should be a welcome addition for those students planning to watch March Madness during that 10AM lecture this spring semester. No word on price or availability, so interested parties will have to wait until the official launch for such details.
Dell Latitude 2110 updated with Pine Trail Atom, already thinking about fall semester
We're not going to lie, it's a little late in the game for Dell to update its Latitude netbook with Intel's Pine Trail processors -- you know, since the chips were released back in January -- but it's better late than never, we suppose. The 10-inch Latitude 2110, like the previous 2100, is still very much aimed at students, and keeps its chassis in tact with the same rubber cover (available in red, blue and black) as well as that anti-microbial keyboard to protect against insect secretions, misplaced mayonnaise and far-flung mucus particles. The studious laptop will be available with an Atom N470 N450 processor, 1GB of RAM and Ubuntu for $389, and clicking the Windows Starter option should boost the price to $419. That's a bit more expensive than the average Pine Trail netbook these days, but who wouldn't pay a bit extra for some added durability for the kids? In case you haven't seen the little guy before, we've got a few beauty shots below (and a press release after the break). %Gallery-92746%
