Dell Latitude 2100

Dell has announced a new line of computers meant for the class room. The netbooks come in a range of colors and can be placed on a rack for charging at the end of the day. They have been designed to be extra rugged to withstand the abuse of students in the schools. I’m not sure what these would be used for, I could see colleges renting these to students that can’t afford a proper computer. Schools can buy them for $369 starting sometime this year.

Some extra features include a light on the lid that shows network activity or other things that are programmed to show, this is so teachers can tell if students are goofing off in class. For some extra money schools can order them with touch screens, antimicrobial keyboards, handles, and/or shoulder straps.
