Dell introduces Lattitude 2100; Netbook for the .EDU set

Dell usually positions its corporate products to the education buyer, but this product is a bit interesting. First of all, its interesting to think that corporate buyers would purchase something as limited as a netbook. Secondly, the bright green cover and other consumer features are somewhat surprising to creep over from the Global Consumer side of the business to the often stodgy Lattitude brand. That said, the system reeks of the Lattitude brand from 2003 – is pretty square and uninspiring.

What’s next – corporate buyers purchasing netbooks as a low cost alternative to notebook PC’s for their employees?
