Latitude X2 (fanless ultraportable laptop)

Latitude products submitted by nojooim May 14

Revive the Latitude X series with latitude X2 laptop. It's a shame that Dell has no fanless ultraportable laptops available anymore, since X1 is no longer available.

The old X1 design with 12" inch widescreen and 1.1ghz 5 Watt TDP Pentium M ULV was quite perfect, as reviewers and many users noticed. It was rugged with magnesium alloy body and spill protected keyboard, also battery life was excellent.

It should be brought back to life with Intel Atom CPU (2 to 4 Watts TDP) or Core 2 Solo ULV (5.5 Watts TDP) CPU and SSD for completely silent operation, that would not bother with noise, even at middle of the night.

With fanless cooling and SSD it would have no moving parts at all, so it could be sealed to prevent dust and moisture entering the machine, which should improve reliability. With 9 cell battery and LED-backlit screen it should have quite amazing battery life.

It would not be ultraportable, but ultra-ULTRA-portable :) 5 Comments »
