Dell has announced an expanded portfolio of award-winning Latitude commercial devices that combine industry-leading security, manageability and reliability features with stunning design, infinity edge display and premium materials.

Adapted from the company’s successful line of XPS consumer devices, the new additions across the Latitude and UltraSharp display lines represent the most comprehensive commercial products redesign in company history.

Unveiling the new product range at CES 2016 in Las Vegas, Vice President and General Manager, Commercial Client Solutions at Dell, Kirk Schell, observed that “For more than 20 years, Latitude products have been a leading choice among commercial customers worldwide for their unmatched security, manageability, reliability and support.”

“With the new Latitude line, we are delivering commercial devices employees will desire for being thinner, lighter and more capable than many of the most popular consumer products without compromising on the security and manageability requirements of IT”. Schell added.

The new Latitude portfolio comprises the Dell Latitude 13 7000 Series Ultrabook which is described as the world’s thinnest and lightest 13-inch business-class notebook; The Latitude 12 7000 Series 2-in-1, which provides the full functionality of a laptop and the flexibility of a tablet and also the Latitude 11 5000 Series 2-in-1 built with the world’s best security and manageability features.

Dell also unveiled a new collection of CES Innovation Award-winning monitors, including a stunning OLED monitor, two new InfinityEdge monitors that offer a virtually bezel-less display and a wireless monitor that allow mobile users to connect directly to the display without cables.
