Overview

» Enlarge

The good:
  • Quite rugged
  • Business level warranty
  • Good keyboard
  • Gigabit Ethernet
  • Decent battery life
The bad:
  • Network activity light isn't very granular
  • 576-pixel screen height can be limiting
  • Polarising looks
The bottomline:

The Latitude 2100 is an interesting answer to customising for the needs of schools. As a by-product, Dell has created a robust little netbook that can just as easily be tossed around by any techie who likes to work roughly.
