Dell just announced a new netbook designed for K-12 students – the Latitude 2100. This 10.1-inch rugged netbook comes in five colors (School Bus Gold, Chalkboard Black, Ball Field Green, Blue Ribbon and Schoolhouse Red) and was built with education technology in mind. However, Dell says it is also a good option for businesses that don't need all the bells and whistles of a full-blown PC.
With the Latitude 2100, students can have access to digital content on a school network and wireless connectivity can be monitored by the teacher with a Network Activity Light on the lid. A Custom-built Mobile Computing Station can manage and network up to 24 netbooks with one Ethernet and power cord.
The Latitude 2100 includes:
- Choice of XP Home, Vista Home Basic and Linux Ubuntu
- Intel Atom processor N270
- 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity coupled with a full suite of wireless communication options
- 2.91lb starting at weight with 3-cell battery
- Three-cell or six-cell battery
- Three-in-one Media Card Reader
- Optional External DVD+/-RW via USB
- VGA port
- Clean bottom is vent-free to avoid any intrusion from spills
An optional touchscreen is also available (a first for an education netbook). Additional options include: a keyboard with antimicrobial protection (U.S. only), solid-state drives, handles and shoulder straps for carrying, and a webcam.
The Latitude 2100 is available now, and starts at $369. More information is available at www.dell.com/latitude.
