Notebook for tough environments

NEW DELHI: Dell today announced the launch of the Latitude ATG D620 (All-Terrain Grade), its first semi-rugged notebook computer for customers who work in tough environments.

The Latitude ATG meets military standards for vibration, humidity and altitude and is designed to protect against accidental bumps, moisture, and other elements that customers encounter working in the field, Dell said in a statement

The new system features a shock-mounted hard drive, spill-resistant keyboard, port covers and high durability paint and is designed to withstand challenging conditions commonly associated with military environments, construction sites and first responders, such as police and emergency organizations.

Dell said in a statement that in response to direct customer feedback, the Latitude ATG includes a 14.1-inch display with ambient light sensor (ALS), glass overlay and anti-reflective coating. The LCD display is 1½ times brighter than most mainstream corporate notebooks for better viewing in sunlight. Customers working in the military, emergency preparedness, construction and even the golf industry say seeing the display in full daylight is an important factor in their notebook computing experience.

Rajan Anandan, vice president and general manager, Dell India, said, “We have heard from customers that a tougher, highly protective notebook with a screen that is easy to see outdoors is necessary in many lines of work. We are glad that we could meet that customer request with a product distinguished by industry-leading features.”

TaylorMade Golf, an existing Dell customer, has chosen the Latitude ATG to help custom-fit golfers with clubs using its exclusive motion analysis technology (MATT-i).

Priced from Rs 106, 163, the Latitude ATG 620 features: 500 NIT LCD with non-reflective coating, 14.1-inch WXGA screen, supports up to 4GB3 DDR2 SDRAM, Shock mounted-hard drive and LCD, Intel Core 2 Duo processors and Microsoft Windows Vista Capable.
