Dell has unveiled a new range of its most powerful laptops and its lightest ultra-portable laptop to date today.
Dell's new Latitude systems provide, according to the company's claims, "breakthrough battery life, brilliant new design and style" and, most importantly for today's increasingly fashion-conscious laptop consumer, they come in a choice of five colours.
Digital nomads
"Since 1995, we've shipped more business laptops worldwide than anyone," said Michael Dell, chairman and CEO of Dell.
"This, and our five million plus conversations a day with customers give us real insight into the needs of the digital nomad."
The ultra-portable Dell Latitude E4200 is a 12.1-inch screen lightweight, weighing in at 1kg and is apparently designed "for road warriors and executives who demand maximum performance and light weight. The systems will be available in the coming weeks."
