Dell
introduced four new Latitude laptops for businesses; the E6520, E6420, E5520 and E5420.
Designed as business-class tools with consumer appeal, the Latitude E6520, E6420, E5520 and E5420 are now available. Designed to be the most secure, flexible and manageable desktops, the OptiPlex 990 (in four different form factors) is also available.
With the new Latitude family we kept all the goodness of the second-generation E2 family, which received the highest-ever scores on durability (more on that in a minute), but also significantly increased the productivity, security and manageability of the systems. Here are some highlights:
* Most secure notebooks ever – Dell Data Protection, Remote Data Delete, Free Fall Sensor
* Commonality - 26 models – 1 dock, AC adaptor and internal bay modules
* Productivity – Only business-class family of notebooks with backlit keyboards
* Leading performance - options with the E6520 and E6420 include the second-generation Intel quad core processing, discrete graphics and multi-touch displays
Our design efforts focused on two key audiences; end-users and IT professionals. Our defining principle was to create business-class tools with consumer appeal. So, after extensive worldwide research and customer discussions, we made over 100 design improvements. Here are some of the highlights:
* New fit & finish with a magnesium frame structure to last and withstand the toughest IT environments
* Added HDMI ports to make connections to consumer and professional components seamless
* Enlarged track pad by 30% and microscopic keyboard gaps for greater ergonomics
* Single back access door for serviceability
* Integrated WLAN (MIMO), WiMAX, WWAN, LTE antennas for anytime connectivity
