	June Main Meeting 2009

	The night started with Q & A. Our resident guru Alex having just returned from LA showed us two great gadgets a universal portable battery and the “Digishow” hand held projector.


	After the break Dell returned to show off the new Latitude 2100 and the new mobile touch screen XT2 laptop.




	Michael Townsend Branch Manager Latitude Notebooks was on board to demonstrate why Dell is such a popular brand with both business and the general community of computer users.

Dell traditionally sold direct to the public but of late they have partnered with The Good Guys, Dick Smith. Officeworks, Harris Technology and Radio Rentals to bring the Insprion, Studio, Adamo and Alienware range to the retail floor.

On line Dell has a range of performance computers for business and personal use including, Vastro, Latitude and Precision.


	Tonight we had a look at the Latitude 2100, what a nice piece of design! This is a netbook aimed at the school student or the mobile technician who needs a rugged but light and portable computer.


	The 2100 is enclosed in a rubbished case and has not ventilation holes on the bottom, so if a student were to put it on a wet science bench of example the 2100 should avoid sucking up all that beautiful netbook-destroying water.
