Dell has introduced its first tablet the Latitude XT. This new machine has 12.1 inch convertible screen, comes with Intel Core 2 Solo and Duo ULV processors, 120 GB hard drive with an option of swapping in a 64 GB SSD, an ATI Radeon X1250 UMA integrated graphics chipset and with extended batteries offers nearly 9.5 hours of battery life.

The Latitude XT is also unique in the sense that it is the industry’s only sub-four-pound convertible tablet with pen and capacitive touch capability. Capacitive technology senses the touch of a finger with no pressure required for the system to recognize input. It is also the forerunner to emerging multi-touch capabilities that allow the use of more than one finger for tasks such as zoom and repositioning a picture.

The Latitude XT is Energy Star 4.0-compliant and will be available in January 2008 for a price of $2,400 upwards (Rs 94,466 approximately).
