As expected, the device is dust-proof, humidity and shock-proof,and resist to high temperature, high altitude and vibrations, thanks to its MIL-STD 810 G and IP5X testing.
On the computing performance side, in addition to the latest Intel processor (our guess, not mentioned by Dell), the new rugged Latitude gets DDR3 memory (1333 MHz or 1600MHz ), Intel HD or NVIDIA discrete graphics, 14” HD (1366×768) display, 4- and 6-cell ExpressCharge battery options, optional HSPA-EVDO / LTE / Gobi 3000/WIMAX connectivity. As usual for business units, there are tons of ports including network connector (RJ-45), two USB 2.0, one USB/eSATA combo; two USB 3.0.
