Dell has just unveiled the Latitude XT2 XFR, a rugged convertible tablet armed with a 12.1-inch capacitive multi-touch screen that supports gestures. Built to the US military’s 810F spec for dust, shock, temperature and water resistance, the XFR also sports an outdoor-ready screen that’s easier to view under direct sunlight.
It’s built to take the elements, with features such as rugged hinges, sealed port doors, and Dell’s QuadCool Thermal Management system to take care of built-up heat. Dell also offers an optional rubber backlit keyboard for operating out in the dark, and solid state drives with full hard disk encryption for durability, performance and security.
Multiple packages are available, starting with a base kit that includes a 1.60GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 1GB of DDR3 RAM, a 160GB hard drive with a free fall sensor, integrated Intel GMA 4500MHD grahics, Wi-fi, and a 4-cell battery for $3,599. The top-end configuration adds more memory, a 64GB solid state drive, and a longer-lasting 6-cell battery for $3,925.
Despite the multi-touch screen, the packages still include a license for Windows Vista Business OS (XP Tablet edition comes preinstalled), with options for upgrading it to Windows 7.
