Dell today launches it's "student rugged" Latitude 2100 netbook, a colorful new netbook line designed specifically for K-12 students. As such, a number of features separate the 2100 from your standard-fare netbook.
- Rubberized design
- Custom-built Mobile Computing Station for classrooms to store up to 24 netbooks with a single Ethernet and power cord
- Network Activity Light so teachers can monitor wireless connectivity
- Offered in five bright colors (School Bus Gold, Chalkboard Black, Ball Field Green, Blue Ribbon, and Schoolhouse Red)
- Personalized window on back of battery pack for school logo or name
Hardware-wise, the 10.1-inch 2100 comes equipped with an Intel Atom N270 processor (1.6GHz, 533MHz frontside bus, 512KB L2 cache), up to 2GB of memory, HDD or SDD (16GB SSD comes standard), integrated Intel GMA950 graphics, 3-in-1 media card reader, and choice of Ubuntu, Windows XP, or Vista. Dell also says the optional touchscreen is a first for education netbooks.
The 2100 is available now starting at $369.

For a few more bucks you can get a regular sized notebook with better hardwhear and no Retarded wifi network light. i am looking to get a cheap ass notebook for me to carry back and forth from school possible from ATT so I can get on the net. Now if all goes well then it wont cost me anything for the notebook but a really large addon for the data pack.
