Being marketed to schools and small businesses, the new notebook starts at just $419, though it provides the usual array of upgrades that could send prices soaring. For instance, processor options range from the Intel Celeron 1007U all the way to an Intel Ivy Bridge Core i5–3337U, and you can equip the Latitude 3330 with either 2GB, 4GB, or 6GB of RAM. Storage options include a 128GB solid-state drive, 320GB or 640GB hard drives, or a 500GB “hybrid” hard drive with a small amount of solid-state storage for quick startups.

As with many systems that cater to non-consumer markets, the Latitude 3330 is offered with either Windows 8 or Windows 7 options for the OS, and continuing Dell’s embrace of Linux, there’s also an option for Ubuntu 12.04. The 13.3-inch screen has a resolution of 1,366×768, and the anodized aluminium body is relatively light at 3.4 pounds with a 4-cell battery, and 3.9 pounds with a 6 cell Dell latitude d630 laptop battery.

Dell is touting security and management features of the Latitude 3330, including support for Dell Data Protection | Encryption (starting this summer, but not available in all countries), which allows remote data encryption over multiple devices from a single console.

“The Latitude 3330 delivers exceptional value and extends Dell Latitude’s superior manageability, security and reliability to a thin, light laptop with agile performance, mobility and a full, robust computing experience that is ideal for schools and small businesses,” said Kirk Schell, vice president, personal computer product group, Dell. “Dell’s heritage is built on empowering our customers with user-focused devices, unbeatable back-end expertise and cost-effective, tailored solutions that empower end-users and IT administrators alike.”
