Tablet PC from Dell
The Latitude XT has been announced since May through the Direct2Dell blog. The convertible device was alleged to targeting the enterprise and several vertical markets, and also healthcare and educational or learning institutions. The launch could be regarded as an important event in the company's history, as Dell had only sold third-party tablet PC, such as Motion Computing, but did not offer a Dell product. This policy has been adopted, as Dell did not believe that there would be a constant demand for such high-end computers.
Other companies that already had a Tablet PC line pressured the market with their own products. This was the case of Lenovo who had worked on a new and improved version of its ThinkPad X61 tablet. The new product was due to marketing in early May, and it sold for a starting price of about $1,800.
It is in the current trends that, even if the high-end computing devices such as tablets, ultralight laptops and ultramobile PCs are making the newspapers' headlines, most of the potential customers stick to the old habits and pick standard laptops for day-by-day computing. Things are about to change, as Microsoft built tablet features for their latest operating system and showed potential customers what they could miss along with the tablet PC.
