What are they thinking???!!!

Waiting for Dell Latitude E4200 to be released

By Martin

I am very curious to what the price will be. ChrunchGear has heard $1300 which in that case probably means £1300 in the UK. Pretty expensive. The spec though, is exactly what I am looking for in a laptop if I was to buy one today.

  • 12.1″ Widescreen WXGA 1280×800, same resolution as I have on my Sony Vaio. I think this is a good resolution for this size(my Vaio is 13.3″)
  • Intel Core 2 Duo Ultra Low Voltage(ULV) Processor.
  • 1 GB Dual Channel DD3 Memory, 800MHz, more can of course be added.
  • UltraPerfomrance Solid State Drive up to 64GB or Solid State Drive up to 128 GB
  • Loads of connectivity options (I don’t mean optional)
  • Weight 2.2 lbs/1.0 kg. Perfect!
  • Battery life up to 19 hours
