Dell is adding two new inexpensive 11.6 inch laptops to its line of products for the education market.
The Dell Latitude 3190 is semi-rugged notebook with an 11.6 inch display, a spill-resistant keyboard, a rubberized base, and long battery life that’s priced at $239 and up.
Dell’s Latitude 3190 2-in-1 has similar features, but this model also has a 360 degree hinge and a touchscreen display. Prices start at $299.
While the non-touchscreen model doesn’t have a screen that can fold all the way back, it does have a 180 degree hinge, allowing you to fold the screen flat. This can come in handy in educational settings or anywhere else where two people might want to stand above a desk or table and look down at the screen.
Dell says the Latitude 3190 2-in-1 should get up to 12 hours of battery life, while the laptop-style version tops out at 15 hours. I usually take manufacturer battery life estimates with a grain of sale, but the lesson here is that the convertible model should get a little less run time than the traditional laptop version.
Both notebooks ship with Windows 10 Pro in S Mode and both should be available in the US starting August 2nd.
