14 DAY TRIAL // Even with CES 2011 over and done with, IT companies are definitely not going on vacation, as proven by Dell, which has revealed its newest netbook, the Latitude 2120.
The 2011 International Consumer Electronics Show was where many hardware products, PCs and consumer electronics were showcased.
Netbooks definitely did not get as much attention as tablets or the new intel and AMD CPUs/APUs, but they hardly went by ignored.
In fact, laptops makers are still very much sticking to this segment of the market, and Dell has just unveiled a new model, dubbed Latitude 2120.
It is powered by, unsurprisingly, Intel's Pine Trail platform, the CPUs available as options being Atom N455 and Atom N550.
Whichever chip is selected can be backed up by 1 GB or 2 GB of RAM (random access memory) and paired with the GMA (graphics media accelerator) 3150 integrated graphics.
Additionally, Dell implemented a 10.1-inch display whose native resolution can be of 1,024 x 600 pixels or 1,366 x 768 pixels.
What's more, end-users with money to spare may even add a multitouch panel over said screen, enabling a further boost to interactivity.
Said touch support would supplement the existing keyboard, which may or may not be of the antimicrobial variety.
Regardless, all hardware is crammed inside a rubberized casing, which confers some endurance and makes it more easy to hold and handle, since it won't slip.
Other specifications include Bluetooh 3.0, Gigabit Ethernet, 802.11n WiFi, an optional Broadcom Crystal HD Media Accelerator, GPU and WiMAX, plus mobile broadband.
Finally, a 3-cell or 6-cell battery will keep the whole thing running, while actual functionality is enabled by Windows 7, Windows Vista, Ubuntu or FreeDOS.
End-users seeking to perhaps buy the Dell Latitude 2120 need only drop by this page, although they will need at least $414.
