Dell Latitude X200

For business people on the move, Dell has introduced its thinnest and lightest wireless-ready Latitude notebook ever. The Latitude X200, which weighs 2.8-pounds and measures only four-fifths of an inch, features a roomy keyboard, a 12.1-inch XGA display, integrated communications and enough performance to easily handle daily mobile-computing tasks. The Latitude X200, priced starting at $1,899, offers many options, including:

• X200 Media Base: Customers can give the X200 the flexibility of a desktop replacement notebook with an optional media base starting at $299. Customers can configure the X200 media base with a choice of optical drives, CD-ROM, CD-RW or combination CD-RW/DVD, to accompany the standard floppy drive and an abundance of connectivity ports. With the additional multimedia capabilities, the X200 still weighs less than 5.5 pounds when attached to the media base.



• External Media Drives: For customers who want to carry only the weight they need, they can customize their order with a choice of external optical drives, CD-ROM (included with base configuration) or combination CD-RW/ DVD ($349) that connect directly to the X200 via the IEEE 1394 port.



• 58 Watt Hour (WHr) High-Capacity Battery: For longer use, customers can get more than six hours of additional battery life with an optional high-capacity 58 WHr battery for $199. The battery adds an incremental 0.6 pound to the notebook.



• Optional External Battery Charger: While both the standard 20 WHr and optional 58 WHr batteries will charge when the X200 is connected to AC power, some customers appreciate the flexibility of a separate battery charger with AC adapter, priced at $79.
