Dell Latitude XT Tablet PC

First I gave you information on the Electrovaya Scribbler Tablet PC and now I bring to you the recently launched Dell Latitude XT Tablet PC.
That is right, Dell Latitude XT Tablet Pc the is available now. Dell's first Tablet PC has been the talk of the Web for months. The XT looks like a solid tablet PC and it is believed to be a great competitor to other Tablet PCs.
The Latitude XT is being marketed toward business professionals, thus the reason it is so thin and light. The XT is packed full of features that are sure to please anyone, the only caveat is that Dell left out an optical drive to keep it thin -- there is an optional Media Base if you need that though. The Latitude XT sports either a 1.06GHz Core 2 Solo ULV processor or a 1.2GHz Core 2 Duo ULV processor. The XT also has a touchpad and a track stick, so navigating around on this tablet should be easy.

Dell is trying to change the tablet scene around with the XT and its dual-mode digitizer technology that is supposed to offer improvement in tablet usability. The XT uses the N-trig digitizer technology, which supports both pen and touch input, while improving accuracy and using less power.

The XT is the perfect travel companion considering it is lightweight and the 45W power adapter is very light as well. The battery life is claimed to last an entire work day or around 9.5 hours with the battery slice. Even the media base is portable for those of you who have to have an optical drive. The pen even comes with multiple tip options so users can customize their own writing experience. Road warriors and college students are rejoicing.

The Latitude XT is available now with prices starting at $2,499.For more info click here.
