Dell Latitude 13 aims to be thinnest 13-inch commercial laptop

Within a couple of weeks Dell will start shipping the Latitude 13, this new model is described as world's thinnest 13" commercial client laptop. The company says the new laptop is as thin as a netbook, while offering significantly more processing power.

With a look that's nearly identical to the recently-released Vostro 13, the Latitude 13 has a look evolved somewhat from the Adamo school of thin-and-light design, with metallic angles and a clean profile. What the Latitude 13 should offer that the Vostro 13 doesn't is a preinstalled Citrix client, easier virtualization options, and an IT-friendly infrastructure for distributing system images for software updates.

Bluetooth, 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi, and WWAN wireless options are available, as well as an optional Blu-ray external drive--not that we know of many businesses that would justify such an expense.
