Dell Latitude 2100

The Dell Latitude 2100 is a small, lightweight netbook designed to be easy for students to carry to and from class. It comes with a durable case, a rubberized outside that is easy to clean and gives traction on any surface. The laptop also comes with an optional carrying handle that makes it easy to lug it around. Compared to other netbooks on the market the keyboard is one of the better keyboards, spaced well for comfort and practicality for both small and larger fingers. There is an optional keyboard available with an antimicrobial protection that helps inhibit bacterial growth. The rubberized case comes in a rainbow variety of colors and the Dell Latitude 2100 comes with a built-in webcam and a network activity light that allows a teacher to see if the student is surfing the Internet instead of working on an assignment.
