Dell Latitude 10
Price: Rs 35,990
Specs: Windows 8, 10.1-inch IPS touch display, Intel Atom Z2760, 2GB RAM, 64GB SSD, Intel graphics, Wi-Fi, USB, SD card, 8MP camera, 658g
The next big thing for the tablets will be their large scale entry into the enterprise space. Already, there are many companies using the iPad and other tablets on a daily basis. Now, with the advent of Widows 8, more companies are expected to adopt tablets. Dell has this in mind while launching its Dell Latitude 10, an Intel Atom-based tablet with a host of enterprise-ready features. The 10.1-inch tablet has one of the best build qualities you will see in a tablet.
For instance, there is a reinforced magnesium alloy frame and a body that has a rubberised feel that gives it a rugged quality. It, however, feels a bit heavy at around 650 grams, but is still very handy. One of the best features of the tablet is the fact that it has a swappable battery, which can be easily unlocked and pulled out from the back. This would be a welcome feature for Dell's target audience. The Latitude 10 has a 720p front and 8MP rear camera, a card reader, USB port and HDMI. The 8MP resolution on the rear camera is not default and is available only with a 4:3 aspect ratio.
The IPS panel has a 1366x768p resolution that is good enough for reading webpages and watching video. The sound, on the other hand, was a disappointment and just not loud enough. You will need a good pair of earphones in case you want to sit back and enjoy a movie with this tablet. The device has an Intel Atom Z2760 processor, which is good enough for basic functions along with enterprise mail, video conferencing, SAP and so on.
But heavy number crunching, like large Excel sheets will be tough. While there was no trouble playing FullHd files, there was a noticeable lag for the same to open. This lag was there even with high-resolution pictures. Gentle reminders that the tablet has an Atom processor. Plus, the device lets administrators implement most IT policies and security features.
With the four-cell Lithium ion battery, the Latitude 10 promises about 14 hours of battery life. You can get more if you invest on a dock, which is will also ley you use this device like a proper computer. Another great feature of the Latitude is the fact that this device has use any regular accessory, like a USB mouse, keyboard or speakers. And, it is among the affordable Windows 8 tablets in the market. In fact, the one we tested was the standard version. Dell is working on a cheaper model with fewer features and a top-end model with fingerprint and smartcard readers built-in.
