\"Dell<\/a>The Dell Latitude 10 tablet is an all-in-one desktop masquerading as a tablet\u2014a workhorse fit for today\u2019s demanding mobile professionals.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Running Microsoft Windows 8 and powered by the Intel Atom Processor Z2760 with 2GB of (non-upgradeable) RAM, the Latitude 10 features a 10.1 capacitive multi-touch HD display and weighs 658 grams with the standard 2-cell (30Whr) Lithium Ion battery.<\/p>\n

The review unit I got came with the 2-cell battery which lasted about 6 to 7 hours with Wi-Fi on the entire time and running different applications (but not simultaneously) such as YouTube, Web browsing, Skype and printing a document on a USB-connected laser printer.<\/p>\n

\"Dell<\/a>The cool thing about the Latitude is you can swap the battery with a 4-cell Lithium ION battery which could perform more than 15 hours.\u00a0 The battery compartment can be found at the back. The standard 2-cell 30Wh unit fits flush with the surface, so expect the 4-cell 60Wh to protrude a little. But with a 4-cell battery, I would imagine the Latitude 10 would be too heavy to carry. As it is, the Latitude 10 with the standard 2-cell battery is already cumbersome for me.<\/p>\n

The Latitude 10 measures about 10.8 inches (width) by 0.4 (height) and 7.0 inches (depth) which is a pretty decent size for a business tablet, especially for mobile professionals who need to make impressive PowerPoint or video presentations on-the-go or on-the-spot. The display itself is a high-quality 1,366-by-768-pixel IPS unit with very good viewing angle, but the resolution is lower than true 1080p HD.<\/p>\n

Full-sized USB 2.0 port<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>

The USB 2.0 port can be found on the right-hand side, along with a Mini-HDMI connector and a microphone\/headphone combo jack.<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

What I really liked about the tablet is the full-sized USB 2.0 port. With this port, I was able to instantly connect with an external DVD drive, an external hard drive, a laser printer, a mouse, a standard desktop keyboard and almost every device or accessory that allowed for a USB connection.<\/p>\n

The USB 2.0 port can be found on the right-hand side, along with a Mini-HDMI connector and a microphone\/headphone combo jack. At the bottom side are the docking connector and the Micro-USB charging port. On the top side are the SD memory card reader, the power button, and a screen-autorotate on\/off toggle button.<\/p>\n

In case you\u2019re wondering what the docking connector is for, there is an optional productivity dock for in-office productivity. My review unit didn\u2019t come with a dock but according to Dell, the dock comes with four USB 2.0 ports, HDMI, audio, Ethernet, and power connector.<\/p>\n

The Latitude 10 offers three storage options: 32GB, 64GB, and 128GB of eMMC flash storage. You can supplement this with the SD card or an external hard drive which you can connect with the full-sized USB port. You can also use cloud-based storage such as SkyDrive.<\/p>\n

For wireless connections, the Latitude 10 comes with dual-band Wi-Fi (802.11a\/b\/g\/n) and Bluetooth 4.0. There is no Ethernet port for wired connection, you\u2019ll need the dock for that.<\/p>\n

Moving on to the multimedia specifications, the Latitude 10 features high quality speakers, integrated noise reduction array microphones, integrated 720p HD front-facing video webcam, 2MP front-facing camera and an 8MP rear-facing camera.<\/p>\n

Enterprise-grade security features available on the Latitude 10 include Dell Data Protection (encryption) software, Intel Platform Trust Technology, and a Chassis lock slot support.<\/p>\n

With a suggested retail price of Php41,500, the Dell Latitude 10 is a little overpriced. But despite its price, it\u2019s a decent tablet considering its corporate-friendly features and the ports that come with it. With its excellent battery life, the Latitude 10 can power through a typical 8-hour work day.<\/p>\n

While the design and build needs improvement, the Windows 8-based Latitude 10 is worth considering if your company still doubts the enterprise prowess of iOS and Android tablets.<\/p>\n

The Dell Latitude 10 is distributed by MSI-ECS Philippines, Inc. and Bridge Distribution Inc.<\/p>\n
