Dell today announced the launch of both the Latitude 14 Rugged Extreme notebook and the Latitude 12 Rugged Extreme convertible notebook for customers who require powerful solutions that can survive unforgiving conditions.
“With new ground-up design and industry-first innovations, the Latitude 12 and 14 Rugged Extreme mark the beginning of a renewed and expanded commitment by Dell to the rugged space,” said KT Ong, general manager, Consumer and Commercial Business, Dell Malaysia. “The Rugged Extreme line is backed by the Latitude promise of reliable, secure and manageable commercial PCs and can move easily from the boardroom to the battlefield or wherever the job takes you—an assurance unmatched by the competition.”
Real-World Rugged with Anywhere Productivity
The 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 12 and 14 Rugged Extreme notebooks enable productivity anywhere with 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 available mobile broadband and dedicated GPS.
From the Boardroom to the Battlefield
Latitude means business and the Rugged Extreme 12 and 14 are no exception, bringing exceptional security, manageability and reliability to the rugged space and enabling anytime, anywhere connectivity users need without sacrificing the control IT departments require. The new additions feature simplified system management with remote management capability and available Intel® vPro™ technology for efficient out-of-band management, available FIPS 140-2 compliant Trusted Platform Module (TPM1.2), Dell Data Protection | Encryption and ControlVault™ advanced authentication, and are backed by a comprehensive suite of Dell service and support options.
