The Dell Latitude 10 is the latest in a line of Windows 8 hybrids that are perfect for the business market while offering some hybrid features on the side. The features and extras built into, and around the product are ideal for corporate use and travel. It has several standout features and one of these is the battery.
“The Dell Latitude 10 has a superb battery life. This is exactly what the business user wants, and needs,” says Terence Barter, Dell general manager at Tarsus, “In addition to this, you get a pen input support system that’s second to none, giving the business user a very quick and efficient tool for navigating the features built into Windows 8.”
Certainly Windows 8 has proven to be a sturdy and robust system that works beautifully on touchscreen devices in the market today, and the Latitude 10 has been designed to take advantage of this.
The basic model comes with an Intel Atom Z2760 processor with Windows 8, a multi-touch backlit display, 2GB DDR2 memory and a 32GB SSD drive. Customers can build on this by adding in extras such as the swappable battery, active stylus support and LED camera flash for the next model along the line.
The Latitude 10 can be ordered with built-in 3G and can have a matching keyboard and stylus added for extra functionality. These features push the pricing up, but the added value and usability make it well worth the expense.
This classy business slate runs the Atom processor that’s easy on the battery, a good part of the reason why the Latitude 10 is ideal for corporate use, and boasts a 10.1-inch screen with 1366×768 resolution.
“The Dell Latitude 10 is a ubiquitous device that allows vendors to drive sales across a multitude of channels,” adds Barter, “In addition to the design, battery life and power; there are two cameras – one front and one rear – and it only weighs around 648g.”
The Latitude has a USB 2.0 port, mini-HDMI connector, and a microphone and headphone combo jack. While not a huge array of connective options, they’re plentiful enough for this portable device.
Barter believes that the Dell Latitude 10 is a very promising tablet for customers, as it not only boasts a rich feature set, but it comes with the Dell stamp of quality and reliability. This tablet is robust with Gorilla Glass wrapped around the screen and a sturdy design that can withstand the bumps and knocks of the road.
“In terms of usability, the Latitude 10 has a great reputation,” says Barter, “Switching to Desktop Mode is quick and simple, the built-in keyboard is responsive to a light touch and the interface is smooth.”
“This tablet has ample space and power, a tight design and superb battery life and it’s getting the kind of customer reviews that vendors dream of,” concludes Barter, “This is a great tablet to kick-start mobility in 2013.”
