In the beginning of 2017, Dell launches two new 2-in-1
laptops along with 4 updated ones. Like the other devices destined for schools,
the Dell Latitude and Dell Chromebook 11 Convertibles are built with rounded
corners and sealed keyboards to handle spills.
The Latitude’s OS is Windows 10 while the Chromebook
obviously runs on Google’s web-focused Chrome OS.
Both Convertible devices are with 11” displays and
can be used in a traditional mode, folded in a tent position or transformed
into a tablet. They both support Dell’s optional Productivity Active Pen which
is basically a stylus. The Latitude is powered by 7th gen Intel Celeron chip, while
the Chromebook runs the 6th gen.
Dell also redesigned its regular 11” and 13”
Latitude and Chromebook laptops. Now they are prettier with more minimalist
look and are also built to withstand falls, spills and clumsy people. All the
devices will be available on February 7. The Latitude 11 Convertible price
starts at US$ 579 while its Chrome OS compatriot is priced at US$ 349.
