Dell Latitude Rugged Extreme trial

Ventilation notebook, the most impressive may be the "Mr and Mrs Smith" in the Panasonic products, basically other brands are rarely involved in such products. Now, Dell has also decided to enter the field, launching the latitude rugged Extreme professional ventilation notebook (also with a 14-inch model) to support U.S. military specifications mil-std-810g, mil-std-461f and ansi/ isa.12.12.01, the protection performance is very strong.

　Super rugged fuselage built-in flip screen

As you can see from the appearance, Dell Latitude rugged Extreme is a very domineering laptop. It uses aluminum-magnesium alloy and high-strength plastic mix material, can achieve very strong water resistance, dust, extreme temperature and fall, specifically, is about 1.8 meters of repeated high intensity drop, fully sealed waterproof splash effect. In the field test, we will pour a whole bottle of water to the keyboard, because of the dual drainage pipe design, the notebook has not received any impact.

Not only that, Dell also grafted the hybrid design on the XPS 12 to latitude rugged extreme. As you can see, the screen can support a 180-degree flip, with a very flexible form. However, we need to remind you that this screen is not a popular "capacitive screen", but "resistive screen", which is to allow the notebook to use in a humid environment. Of course, the resistance screen itself is operated by pressure, so you need to click on the screen operation, but the general pen, hard objects are also able to achieve operations, not just fingers.

Of course, because the fuselage is significantly thicker than the XPS 12, the flip of the screen becomes less easy and takes a lot of effort.

　The mainstream hardware configuration

Dell Latitude Rugged Extreme has a major hardware configuration, including the Intel Fourth Daicouri (Haswell) processor, optional stand-alone graphics (Nvidia GT 720M), up to 16GB of RAM and 512GB solid-state drives, Can be more mainstream data processing work. However, the screen resolution is only 1366*768 pixels, not very high.

In addition, the Dell Latitude rugged Extreme keyboard also features a unique "RGB" backlight, which allows you to switch between several colors, even if you wear night vision goggles to see the contents of the keyboard. The machine is also equipped with a 8 million-pixel autofocus camera at the corner of the fuselage, which can achieve "candid Camera" effect. interface, the integration of USB 3.0 and local serial interface and so on.

As for battery life, Dell's official data is about 8 hours, 30 minutes, or more mainstream.

　　High price for professional market

Obviously, Dell Latitude rugged extreme is not a notebook for the general consumer market, but a product for military and extreme work environments. Its starting price is 3649 dollars (about 22665 yuan), very expensive. Of course, compared to Panasonic's products, it has a richer use of the form, but the low resolution of the resistance screen display and operating results are more general.
