With the new 12th Generation « Alder Lake » Intel processors steadily making their way into laptops, OEMs are prepping both new and established product lines to take full advantage of the extra processing power. The latest crop of next-gen products comes to us courtesy of Dell and includes updates to both its Latitude and Precision laptops, as well as new developments in its monitors and peripherals. Business Laptops Keep Getting Smaller Debuting in April as a laptop or 2-in-1 option and starting at $2,245, the Dell Latitude 9430 is positioned as the world’s smallest 14-inch 16:10 business laptop, designed for productivity, collaboration, and connectivity. Equipped with DDR5 RAM and Intel vPro, this Intel-based laptop offers 12th Generation Core processors up to a Core i7. It’s quite a looker, too, featuring a 90% screen-to-body ratio, which means more room for its QHD+ (2,560-by-1,600 pixels) display to shine. Not to mention, it’s MIL-STD 810H tested, which means it’s built tough and can survive falls that would spell the end for other 14-inch machines. But that’s not the only Latitude worth talking about—Dell also introduced the Latitude 7330, the newest entry in the 7000 series. Releasing in April and starting at $1,899, the ultralight laptop (also available in a 2-in-1 configuration) comes in magnesium, carbon fiber, and aluminum builds and weighs just 2.13 pounds. Improved thermals help it run up to 30% quieter than previous Latitudes while utilizing Intel vPro 12th Generation P-series processors.
