Building a workstation-class mobile PC that would be easy to carry around, but which would offer a proper screen, decent performance, robust connectivity, and a long battery life is extremely challenging. In fact, it takes efforts of multiple companies, not just one manufacturer. At CES, Dell is going to introduce two 15-inch Latitude 9510 designs, a laptop and a convertible, that promise to pack all of the hardware required into a 14-inch-class body that is up to 17 mm thick, and even add Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X55 5G modem on top as an optional extra.

Typically, notebooks and convertibles use different chassis even within the same model family. This is not the case with the Dell Latitude 9510 family: the notebook and the convertible use very similar aluminum unibody chassis that have the same dimensions with a 14 mm ~ 17 mm z-height, but the convertible has different hinges. Both types of machines also come with similar ‘super low power’ 15-inch display panels of a Full-HD resolution, 400 nits brightness, and wide viewing angles. Meanwhile, the screen of the convertible supports touch (as well as Dell’s Active Pen stylus that is sold separately) and is protected using Corning Gorilla Glass 6.

Inside the new Dell Latitude 9510 mobile PCs is Intel’s 10th Generation quad or six-core Core processor (Comet Lake-U) with built-in UHD Graphics that is accompanied by up to 16 GB of onboard LPDDR3-2133 memory as well as an M.2-2230 SSD of up to 1 TB capacity. Evidently, Dell had to sacrifice upgradeability and capacity of its storage device to make its 14-inch machines as portable as possible.

Being aimed at demanding users, the Latitude 9510 laptop and hybrid have rather robust I/O capabilities that include Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5, has two Thunderbolt 3 ports that can be used for charging, one USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-A connector, an HDMI output, a microSD card reader, a 3.5-mm audio jack for headsets, and an optional SmartCard reader. Those users who want ultimate mobility can also install Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X24 4G/LTE or even Snapdragon X55 5G modem. Other ports are provided through dongles.

Since Dell’s Latitude systems are the company’s most advanced offerings for business, corporate, and government clientele, these machines come equipped with cutting-edge security features. In addition to IR-equipped webcam (Windows Hello-compatible), the Latitude 9510 mobile PCs have a fingerprint reader as well as contactless and contacted Smart Card readers with Control Vault 3.0 authentication with FIPS 140-2 Level 3 certification (Windows Hello-compliant fingerprint scanner is also possible). Furthermore, the systems feature a FIPS-140-2-certified TPM 2.0 module, self-encrypting Class 35 storage, and a variety of optional software enhancements.

Typical versions of Dell’s Latitude 9510 laptop and Latitude 9510 2-in-1 will come with a 4-cell 52 Wh battery (either with ExpressCharge or Long-Life Cycle), but the most advanced SKUs will be equipped with a rather monstrous 6-cell 88 Wh Li-polymer ExpressCharge-capable battery that promises to enable a battery life of over 30 hours. This one will likely be heavier than others, but if you need to work for a long time on a single charge or just work comfortably with increased brightness, then this is the only way.
