Dell designers created the Latitude 2100 as part of its 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 learning resources and digital content on a school network or via the Internet.
The Latitude 2100 features bright primary colors and a rugged, 'rubberised' design for children to carry and use safely.
It also 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 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 organisations with specific mobile computing requirements.
Enterprises and public -sector customers looking for a business-class netbook can use the hardware for activities ranging from employee training to order fulfillment or when a secondary system is required by their workforce.
