Dell focuses on education vertical

NEW DELHI, INDIA: Dell launched a netbook influenced by the needs of K-12 students, the Latitude 2100. The Latitude 2100 is also suitable for any business or public institution that needs affordable, Internet-ready device for e-mail and collaboration.

Dell designers created an education netbook that focuses on learning. The Latitude 2100 is part of Dell’s connected classroom. With the Latitude 2100, students can access enhanced learning resources and digital content on a school network or via the Internet.

The Latitude 2100 has features like rugged, ‘rubberized’ design, easier for children to carry and use safely. It also offers wireless connectivity that can be monitored by a teacher with a network activity light on the netbook lid.

The netbook extends Dell’s Latitude range and joins the Latitude XT2 tablet and semi-rugged Latitude ATG as systems designed to meet the exacting needs of customers across a range of private and public-sector organizations.

“The Latitude 2100 shows that Dell thinks about, cares about, and designs products with education in mind,” said Paul Bell, President—Global Public Sector Division, Dell. “This system is an extension of our efforts to support educators as they transform technology access in classrooms worldwide. We will continue to respond quickly to their needs and work with governments to deliver technology that modernizes education, excites students and arms them with the skills they need to succeed in the digital age,” he added.
