Dell has unveiled a handful of devices today – such as the Latitude 10 enterprise tablet and the Latitude 6430u Ultrabook aimed at the business user on the go, which is why it’s not too surprising to learn that Dell has unveiled an all-in-one desktop system for businesses. Given the OptiPlex 9010 moniker, this is an all-in-one desktop system that has a touchscreen display built into it, thus not only helping save space at work, but will also help to increase interactivity and hopefully collaboration in the process. It also includes a fixed or rotating camera which can be used for video conferencing. It features a 23” 1920×1080 display and will be powered by a vPro-equipped Ivy Bridge processor under the hood with Microsoft’s upcoming Windows 8 running the show.

The OptiPlex 9010’s pricing has yet to be determined, but we expect that we will be given the details upon its release which should be around the same time as Windows 8 launches. So, any business owners out there planning on picking up a couple of these for their offices?

If you’re working in an industry that requires you to bring a tablet with you constantly, such as making your rounds at the hospital as a doctor/nurse, or in the government or even at schools where tablets might be adopted, you might be interested to learn that Dell has unveiled a new 10” tablet. Dubbed the Latitude 10, it will be enterprise compliant in the sense that it will suppose existing Microsoft productivity applications while featuring the ability to plug into existing management consoles. It will come with a swappable battery which means that you can expect to use this for years on end and will only have to swap out for a new battery once it starts to get weak without having to replace the device entirely.

It comes with Dell Data Protection and Encryption and other security features such as a fingerprint reader and a smart card reader to authenticate the user before using the tablet. As far as the rest of its specs are concerned, it will feature a 10.1” Gorilla Glass display with a resolution of 1366×768, an Intel Clover Trail Atom dual-core processor, 128GB of storage that can be expanded via SD, and will run on Windows 8. No word on pricing just yet but it is expected to be released at the launch of Windows 8 so we expect we might not have to wait too long for it.

Windows 8 is coming folks, and so is an onslaught of new machines featuring Microsoft’s something-for-everyone OS. Dell already showed us some of its fresh consumer Win8 hardware back at IFA 2012, and now it’s the enterprise’s turn to shine. First up is the Latitude 10 tablet, which packs an Intel Atom SoC, a 10.1-inch IPS 1366 x 768 LCD display covered in Gorilla Glass, 8-megapixel primary camera plus an HD front-facing shooter. It’s got 2GB of RAM and up to 128GB of eMMC NAND storage, plus an SD card slot should the integrated storage prove insufficient. Connectivity comes via one full-size USB 2.0 port, a microUSB charging socket, mini-HDMI, a headphone/microphone combo jack, proprietary docking port and a micro-SIM slot for WWAN use. The Latitude 10 packs up to a 60Wh battery, which isn’t remarkable in and of itself, but the fact that it’s removable is. That means road warriors can travel with a spare cell or two to keep their slate in the juice no matter how long they work on it. While the swappable battery can keep the 10 from being tethered to an outlet, the dock Dell built for it ensures it’ll have a stylish place to rest when it is. The dock expands the slate’s connectivity with four USB 2.0 sockets, Gigabit Ethernet, HDMI and audio output.

Next is the Optiplex 9010 all-in-one desktop we saw earlier this year. It still has the same 23-inch, 1920 x 1080 panel on the front and vPro-equipped Ivy Bridge silicon lurking beneath — the only change is the upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 8. The Latitude 6430u is an addition to Dell’s venerable business laptop line, and is the first to bear the Ultrabook moniker. It’s generous to label the 6430u as such, as it’s .82 inches thick and weighs 3.7 lbs, but it’s still a fairly thin and light laptop — plus it has the same solid magnesium chassis construction as its Latitude brethren. The 6430u crams a 14-inch, 1366 x 768 matte display into its 13.3-inch chassis, and users have the option of Ivy Bridge Core i3, i5 and i7 silicon with vPro, up to 8GB of RAM and up to 256GB worth of solid state storage. Naturally, there’s 802.11 b/g/n WiFi, Bluetooth and mobile broadband available for wireless connectivity. Unfortunately, we can’t tell you how much Dell’s new business computers will cost, but we do know that they’ll be available when Windows 8 is, which is to say late October.

Intel at CES promised a partnership with Nuance to give Ultrabooks a taste of ready-made voice recognition, and we’re finally seeing the results at IDF in San Francisco through the launch of Nuance’s Dragon Assistant Beta. As the name implies, this isn’t just a voice dictation engine like that in Naturally Speaking: chatty users can delegate common tasks like playing music, reading social network updates and searching the web. The beta isn’t immediately available as of this writing, but it should go live soon and will be a core part of of Ultrabook software bundles in the near future, starting with the Dell XPS 13 this fall. We’re wondering why Intel is focusing its Dragon Assistant efforts solely on thin-and-lights — the company still makes money from portlier PCs, after all — but we won’t mind as much given the simultaneous launch of a Perceptual Computing SDK 2013 Beta, which lets developers work Dragon recognition into their own apps. More details await after the break.
