New laptops from Dell: 19h on batteries
The demands of the digital nomad are expected to drive laptop sales to over one billion in the next five years. The prediction by Dell came as it unveiled 10 new laptop models aimed at this emerging working class. The new Latitude line boasts as much as 19 hours of battery life for the always connected 21st century worker. At a press launch in San Francisco, Jeff Clarke, senior vice president of Dell’s business group, showed off the new line to reporters and analysts. The laptops include seven Latitude business laptops and three Dell Precision workstation laptops which Mr Clarke described as “performance leaders and something the tech community will absolutely die for”.
What Dell hopes will be particularly appealing to travelers is the 12.1-inch Latitude E4200, which starts at 2.2 pounds; and the 13.3-inch E4300, which starts at 3.3 pounds. For companies looking for a basic business notebook to reduce costs, Dell unveiled the 14.1-inch E5400, which starts at $839, and the 15.4-inch E5500, which starts at $869. The systems were available Tuesday. For mainstream desktop replacements, often found in docking stations in corporate cubicles, Dell introduced the 14.1-inch E6400 and the 15.4-inch E6500, which start at $1,139 and $1,169, respectively. Both were also available as of Tuesday. The computers have just under 10 hours of battery life which can be extended with a so called “battery slice” to total 19 hours. The machines also have a fingerprint reader and a “control vault” processor that stores an owner’s identity and credentials on protected hardware.

sounds nice, but i am perfectly happy with my xps m1530 for now
Doesnt have anyway near the battery life as these, but i never really needed more than 3 or 4 hours anyway
Salutations good sirs. Within a fortnight I shall set forth, with my Queen’s congee of course, on a voyage to the Southernmost Colonies. In the Southland I design to retrieve a large shipment of these newfound creatures called “negroids”. Upon my return from the colonies I would be happy to bequeath you one or two for your sport. However, an exchange must take place. I require several daguerreotype depictions of bantam youngsters in “salacious” poses to add to my quite substantial collection. I propose we form a gentleman’s agreement, if you could supply these daguerreotypes in advance of our exchange I would happily supply a half-ape-half-man creature at the time of our meeting. Do respond in haste my good sirs for I dare say my interest has been piqued. I have included a related vignette of my cargo for your appraisal. If the benevolent proprietors of this fine establishment are to find my libidinous requests deviant, then I suspect a ban from the premises and an assemblage of celebratory buggies outside my residence may be in order. Sincerely and with great respect, Sir MrX
Life time 19h ?
After 19 hour is it gonna Xplode or something like that?
The picture is wrong, even a 12.1 inch screen = a laptop alot bigger than a pencil. Otherwise good post this site seems to be as good as ever, except the comment section but the spamming in here will surely stop as the old eds get bored and move on with there lifes
