Dell today announced the launch of both the Dell Latitude 14 Rugged Extreme notebook and the Dell Latitude 12 Rugged Extreme convertible notebook for customers who require powerful solutions that can survive unforgiving conditions.
Dell Latitude 14 Rugged Extreme notebookThe Dell Latitude Rugged Extreme solutions are purpose-built to withstand hazards such as dust, moisture, drops, vibration, extreme temperatures and other punishing conditions faced by users in fields such as military service, public safety, manufacturing and first response.
Latitude Rugged Extreme notebooks are independently tested to military standards including drops up to six feet, as well as ingress protection, emissions and hazardous materials certifications by a third-party testing facility. No single field test accounts for every possible scenario, so the Dell Rugged Extreme portfolio is tested above and beyond every existing standard to verify survivability in real world situations.
The Dell Latitude 12 and 14 Rugged Extreme are built to endure worst-case conditions with the most robust materials available, including impact-resistant ultra-polymers and sturdy magnesium alloy. Data is protected from the elements with sealed doors and compression gaskets while enabling performance at high temperatures with fourth-generation QuadCool thermal management.
The Latitude Rugged Extreme lineup features the following innovations:
- Direct-View outdoor-readable display for productivity in harsh sunlight that reduces glare and reflectivity with less reliance on backlighting (resulting in longer battery life)
- Resistive multi-touch on the Latitude 12 Rugged Extreme for recognizing intuitive gestures while wearing thick gloves
- The industry’s first rugged “flip-hinge” convertible display with the Latitude 12 Rugged Extreme
- Docking commonality across the Dell Rugged Extreme portfolio, regardless of form factor for cost savings over time
- Sealed, customizable “RGB” backlit keyboard enables work in all lighting environments and features an “instant stealth” mode to go incognito
- Up to 16GB of memory and up to 512GB solid state storage
- Full HD webcam with a privacy shutter
- Eight megapixel bottom camera with flash on the Latitude 12 Rugged Extreme
- USB 3.0 and native serial on all Rugged Extreme products with dual serial/RJ-45 on the Latitude 14 Rugged Extreme
The Latitude 12 and 14 Rugged Extreme notebooks offers long battery life-up to 8.5 hours and up to 14 hours, respectively-to power an entire shift. They also feature efficient fourth-generation Intel Core processors, speedy solid state storage and discrete graphics options for the Latitude 14. To stay connected and collaborate, both models also offer a suite of wireless capabilities, including mobile broadband and dedicated GPS.
Both models are now available in Malaysia. The Latitude 14 Rugged Extreme is price from RM 12,300 and the Latitude 12 Rugged Extreme convertible notebook begins at RM 14,700.
