Dell readies raft of Intel Latitude notebooks

First out of the starting gate are expected to be the performance based D810 and D610 in January or February. The former will have a 15.4-inch widescreen LCD display, use ATI graphics and have Gigabit Ethernet on board. The 610, using the 915GM/PM chipset will also use ATI 64MB graphics and have 14-inch LCD screen.

Probably in February, the naturists from Round Rock hint, we'll see a Dell ultra portable, the D310, using the 915GM, having a 12.1-inch screen, integrated graphics and the like.

Perhaps in April, Dell will introduce a machine tentatively dubbed the X1. This will use the 915GMS chipset and Intel's ultra l;ow voltage Dothans. This one sounds nice.

Before then, we'll see the D510, a Celeron M or Pentium M based machine with options for 14.1-inch and 15-inch screens, and the 110L, a "value" machine which can use Pentium 4Ms and Celeron chips.

These sound rather tasty, but damn that fire ant that just spoilt my fun. µ
