Unlike other Windows 8 tablets (such as the Surface Pro), there was never any noticeable fan noise. In addition, the Latitude Tablet was always completely silent. I was definitely seeing in excess of eight hours of active battery life-about twice that of the Microsoft Surface Pro. The unit also has an optional 60Whr battery, which extends battery life but also adds sticks out of the back of the unit, adding a bit of additional heft. You can bring along a hot spare, which is a big boon, especially to business travelers. The battery really sets this unit apart from other tablets because the battery is replaceable. As with an iPad, the battery life was good enough with the standard 30Whr battery that I never had to worry about it. Its performance was smooth, and the battery life was much better than the Core i5 tablets IвЂ™ve used in the past. I had never used a unit with the Atom processor before, and I found the processor to really shine in this form factor. The tablet was great for carrying between offices and travelling. At 1.45 pounds, it felt about the same as a paper notebook, and its small 11вЂќ x 7вЂќ size was just slightly smaller than most notebooks. Although not as powerful as the Core i5, it provided adequate performance and much better battery life. What I really liked about the unit was its tremendous portability and the economical Atom processor. Latitude 10 Tablet options include LTE Mobile Broadband & GPS support and a flat detachable Kensington keyboard and a fingerprint reader. The docking station had four USB 2.0 ports, audio out, HDMI, power in, and a 1GB Ethernet port. The test unit was also equipped with an external docking station and a wireless keyboard and mouse and an optional Wacom Stylus. Carrying it around was just like toting around a notebook.

The unit weighed in at an extremely portable 1.45 pounds. The Latitude 10 Tablet had a 10.1' Gorilla Glass LCD screen with 1366 x 768 resolution and built-in 2-megapixel front-facing camera and an 8-megapixel rear-facing camera. Internally, it has a TPM module allowing BitLocker support. A dock/power connector and a micro USB port were at the bottom of the unit. An SC slot supporting eMMC memory was provided on the top of the unit, providing up to 64GB of extra storage. Externally, the tablet had one USB 2.0 port and a 3.5mm audio jack and one HDMI port on the right side. The Dell Latitude 10 Tablet also had 802.11 a/b/g/n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. The boot recovery partition was 500MB, whereas the system recovery partition was approximately 5.1GB. The drive had 52GB of usable storage and two smaller recovery partitions. The unit had 2GB of DDR2 800 MHz RAM, an Intel Graphics Media Accelerator running at 533MHz and a 64GB SSD drive. The Dell Latitude 10 Tablet that I reviewed was equipped with a dual-core Intel Atom Z2760 1.8GHz dual-core processor.

The unitвЂ™s touch-screen capabilities show Windows 8 to its best advantage. ItвЂ™s exactly the type of device that Microsoft needs in order to get Windows 8 into the hands of IT pros and consumers. The Dell Latitude 10 Tablet definitely is a forerunner in the next generation of mobile computing devices.
