The Dell Latitude ST is a Windows tablet with an Intel Atom Z670 processor and a 10.1 inch, 1280 x 800 pixel display. It’s aimed at enterprise customers including business, education, and medical industries where it will go head-to-head with the HP Slate 2 rather than the Apple iPad 2.
Dell introduced the Latitude ST a few weeks ago, and now it’s available for order for $859. It’s expected to ship later this month.
That price covers the basic configuration with Windows 7 Home Premium, 64GB of storage, and 2GB of RAM. But you can also get Windows 7 Professional or Ultimate, and up to 128GB of storage space if you’ve got some extra cash to burn.
The tablet features an LED display with a capacitive touch panel and active digitizer for pen or finger input. It also has a Corning Gorilla Glass screen.
The Latitude ST features 802.11a/b/g/n WiFi and Bluetooth 4.0, and there’s an option for an HSPA+ mobile broadband card with A-GPS.
As far as input and output, the tablet has a single USB 2.0 port, an SD card slot, HDMI port, mic/headphone combo jack, and a dock connector as well as a mono speaker and built-in mic. There’s a 5MP rear camera and a 720p front-facing camera.
Dell also offers an optional docking station with 3 USB ports, a Gigabit LAN port, HDMI and audio output.
The tablet measures 10.6″ x 7.3″ x 0.6″ and weighs 1.8 pounds.
Intel Atom Z670 destroys this. Â All of the disadvantages of ARM but with none of the advantages.
Agreed! For me lack of VGA out is also a dealbreaker. A lot of projectors I connect devices to in work enviroments still only support VGA (not HDMI). That is changing but we’re still years away at my work sites.
Could always get a HDMI to VGA converter box or use a USB to VGA adapter to get around it for now. Remember this will be running Windows and will have a full size USB port available. So a little more flexible than most ARM tablets.
Though some like the Asus Transformer/Prime and the Apple iPad do have adapters you can get for them for VGA output.
