Dell’s Latitude E6400 XFR: Just Released

After the notable success of HP Pavilion Tablet PC series, its now time for Dell to come with its hands up and with a strong fist for that matter. Dell’s Latitude E6400 XFR laptop is first of its kind where a rough and tough gadget holds hands with delicacy (touchscreen). The company claims can withstand drops, dust and high-pressure water sprays.

The primary target is military officials and understandably so.

Ruf-n-Tuf

• The laptop can withstand rain and wind gusts of up 70 miles per hour
• Can work in temperatures from -20 degrees Fahrenheit (-33.88 degrees Celsius) to 145 degrees Fahrenheit (63 degrees Celsius),
• It can also work for an hour at an altitude of 15,000 feet.
• The laptop is also designed to withstand drops of around 4 feet (48 inches) when not operating and a feet less when operational. The LCD screen floats a little bit within the LCD cover so it can take impacts and shock, said Jeremy Bolen, a Dell spokesman.

Specification

• Intel’s Core 2 Duo processor.
• Weighs 8.5 pounds (3.87 kilograms) with a six-cell battery and a solid-state storage drive.
• Supports up to 8GB of RAM and up to 120GB of storage on a hard drive or 128GB of SSD storage.

• It runs Windows Vista and has Wi-Fi, 3G mobile broadband and GPS antennas.

Price

US$4,299 in the U.S., Canada, France, Spain, the U.K., Germany and Italy. Expensive? You bet. And anyway, I don’t need a laptop to play cricket with it, I just want one to play the same in it.

By the way, in case you are interested its coming out today.
