Dell also launched a new, higher-performance version of its current lightweight notebook, the Dell Latitude CSx. ``The ultralight Latitude LS is ideal for customers who travel frequently and demand the lightest weight possible without sacrificing performance or usability,' said Tim Peters, vice president and general manager, Latitude notebooks. ``In addition, we have now incorporated Intel's Mobile Pentium© III processors in both of our lightweight models, the Latitude LS and the Latitude CSx.' New Ultralight In a 3.5(a)-pound, one-inch thick magnesium alloy chassis -- ideal for use on airplanes -- the Latitude LS combines usability and performance with small size and light weight. It has the first-generation low-power Intel Mobile Pentium III processor at 400MHz, a bright and readable 12.1-inch TFT SVGA screen, and a comfortable keyboard that allows for touch-typing. In addition, the Latitude LS has an integrated 56.6(1) Kbps modem and network interface card, RAM capacity of up to 128 MB, hard drive storage up to 6.4 GB(2) and is Microsoft© Windows© 2000-ready.

For more information visit Dell's Web site: dell.com. Options The Latitude LS uses the same external peripherals(c), including DVD-ROM, CD-ROM, floppy disk and LS-120 drive, as the mainstream Latitude C-family notebooks. These devices make it easy to configure the Latitude without compromising portability. The LS comes standard with a four-cell Smart Lithium-Ion battery. An optional high-capacity six-cell battery is available for $169. For convenient network access and cable management on the desktop, the LS has its own advanced port replicator with the following ports: pass-through Ethernet and modem, serial, Universal Serial Bus, parallel, DC-in, media bay drive, microphone-in, line-out and two PS/2. The advanced port replicator weighs less than a pound and is available for $199.

Similar to the Latitude LS, the C-family peripherals attach externally to the Latitude CSx. The Latitude CSx connects directly into the existing Latitude C-family docking stations. Dell designs its Latitude notebook line for large business and institutional customers who value a low total cost of ownership, a consistent and reliable product, managed technology transitions and optimum performance in a connected environment.
