Although business-centric laptops don't have to be particularly sexy, Dell's latest business offering shows that those who need to get some real work done can have some style too.
Dell today unveiled the Latitude 13, which takes many design cues from the Adamo luxury series. This isn't the first business machine from Dell in the form; the Vostro 13 offered nearly the same things late last year.
Dell is touting the Latitude 13 as "the world's thinnest 13-inch commercial client laptop" at 0.65-inches thick, but hasn't revealed what might be under the hood. We expect specs to be similar to the Vostro 13: choices of either a 1.2GHz Celeron, 1.3GHz Core 2 Duo or 1.4GHz Core 2 Solo with integrated X4500MHD graphics, the notebook packs a 13.3-inch screen. That aside, it's also got eSATA, USB, Ethernet and SD and ExpressCard slots.
Expect it to show up on Dell's website for order in a few weeks starting at around $500.
