A well-informed tipster just leaked Dell’s brand new Latitude 2100 “Welch” laptops to Gizmodo, where they’re now spreading the news about the school-oriented netbooks.
These new little beasts will be based off of Intel’s Atom processor (up to 1.6GHz), can support an optional SSD, pack up to 2GB of RAM, and weigh just under 3lbs. There’s also three USB ports, a SD/MMC slot, Gigabit Ethernet, 802.11 a/g/n, Bluetooth, 3 and 6-cell battery options, a 10-inch screen, and the possibility of a touchscreen.
As for pricing and availability, it should be out around May 2009, just in time for the back to school shopping season, and cost under $600.

This is probably an early April Fool's Day joke.
If Dell was going to release a laptop targetted at kids, they wouldn't release it under the Latitude moniker. They'd either make a new brand name or use the existing Inspiron name as Latitude has always been Dell's line of mainstream business laptops.

This better be WAAAAY under 600 dollars. with most netbooks in the 300 dollar range, and even some pretty good starter lap tops like the acer line for under 400 I would be hard pressed to find it ok to spend 600 bucks on a atom processor kids toy.
If they plan on making it, they better get thier heads in the game and think CHEAP !!!
blindly Going Where many have gone before but often failing to read the directions!

Hmm...$600 could get much more for that, but I guess its weight>performance for school.
