Tablet PC Guide DELL LATITUDE XT TABLET ™ ™ With the Dell Latitude XT tablet, nothing is lost between what you think and what you write. Groundbreaking touch technology lets you write naturally, and the tablet moves easily with you wherever you go. Purely and simply, the XT is an extension of you. The Most Usable Technology at Hand No more keeping your palm off the tablet surface. No more forcing your hand into awkward positions or pressing down for touch recognition. The Dell Latitude XT solves the problems of other tablets, making it effortless to use — simply pick up the pen and write as you would on a piece of paper. The Accuracy that Users Want Tests show that users strongly prefer Dell touch technology to the Lenovo® X61T — the Latitude XT has faster touch response times, requires less force, and results in fewer touch attempts. Drag and drop, scroll, flick, and select with ease as you move seamlessly between touch and pen. The digitizer technology on the Latitude XT is rated up to 10x more durable than competing resistive touch digitizer technology. And the pen is light, comfortable to use, maintenance-free, and comes with several tips for precise and personalized writing. Groundbreaking Dual-Mode Pen and Touch Technology • Dual-mode solution provides excellent palm rejection: write naturally without inadvertent contact getting in your way • Single sensor module: single-host cable connects the digitizer to the computer for better overall experience and system reliability • 1,000 dpi resolution and 133 PPS allows for high touch accuracy even while wearing latex gloves • Subpixel resolution enables full utilization of OS and application functionality • Sense on contact — no pressure required • Consistently smooth scrolling, dragging, flicks, and gestures panels that deliver Visibility and Portability Two screens offer the ultimate in energy efficiency, usability, and flexibility: • 12.1" WXGA CCFL LCD: The optional Latitude XT DLV panel is the brightest in a 12.1" convertible tablet. It’s easy to see, even outdoors or under direct light. • 12.1" WXGA LED-backlit LCD: The thinnest 12.1" convertible tablet, offering optimum portability. Thin and Light The Latitude XT can go anywhere with you because it’s the thinnest and one of the lightest 12.1" convertible tablets, on the market at 3.57 pounds. Only one inch thin, the XT easily slips into its unique tablet case which is available with options like a “bump” sleeve that lets you use the tablet without taking it out. Plus, the high-capacity battery slice increases battery life and the super-light power adapter helps to greatly reduce travel weight. Simple to Manage The Latitude XT is loaded with the tools you need, and since it’s part of the Latitude family of notebooks, it’s easy to buy, deploy, and manage. The XT is equipped with optional solid-state drives designed to deliver 5x increased reliability and up to 23% improved system performance over standard hard drives. And the XT is optimized for graphics. With Windows Vista™ Business and Vista™ Ultimate, this 12.1" tablet is designed to deliver an optimal visual experience, including the advantages of Vista Aero-Glass.
