“Student-rugged” Latitude^TM 2100, first ever education netbook equipped with optional touchscreen is inspired by elementary and high school students’ needs

Manila, Philippines– Dell believes every child should have the opportunity and tools to learn the skills necessary to succeed in the digital world. Critical to this is the availability of technology designed for the unique needs of elementary and high school students, teachers and school administrators.

Dell set a new standard in education technology with the launch of a netbook influenced by the needs of students, the Latitude 2100. The Latitude 2100 is also ideal for any business or public institution that needs affordable, durable internet-ready device for email and collaboration.

Inspired by close cooperation with hundreds of students, teachers, parents and administrators, Dell designers created a purpose-built education netbook that focuses on what’s most important – learning.
The Latitude 2100 is part of Dell’s connected classroom ― innovative technology products, services, software and training that make learning in the digital age a reality. With the Latitude 2100, students can access enhanced learning resources and digital content on a school network or via the Internet. As a result, the Latitude 2100 blends into student life, from lesson plans to homework, increasing time spent learning versus managing technology.

“The Latitude 2100 shows that Dell thinks about, cares about, and designs products with education in mind,” said Paul Bell, president of Dell’s global public sector division. “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.”

The Latitude 2100, which comes in bright primary colors is designed to absorb the daily bumps and bruises of a crowded playground or backpack. Its “four-square-ball-style” rubber casing also makes it easy for little hands to carry and use the netbook safely. It offers wireless connectivity that can be monitored by the teacher with a Network Activity Light on the netbook lid. An optional touchscreen is a first for an education netbook and makes the Latitude 2100 a perfect choice for enhanced student interaction, assessment, and for special education teaching. The Latitude 2100 also offers administrators a range of services making it easier to deploy and manage.

Additional options include: solid-state drives, quick-connect handles and shoulder straps for carrying, and a webcam. The Latitude 2100 is backed by Dell’s award winning business service and support.

The Latitude 2100 extends Dell’s Latitude range and joins the Latitude XT 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 with specific mobile computing requirements. Enterprises and public-sector customers looking for a business-class netbook will be attracted to the Latitude 2100 for activities ranging from employee training to order fulfillment or when a secondary system is required by their workforce.
