Dell is releasing a bunch of new laptops today, and the first are new Latitudes. Just like we told you some time ago, the E series is replacing the D series, with seven new models in total. The E6500, E6400, E5500, and E5400 are usual laptop models with 15.4 and 14.1-inch displays, while the E4400 and E4200 are ultra portables and the E6400 ATG is a tough notebook. The 12-inch E4200 is the lightest business laptop Dell has ever made, weighing only 2.2 pounds, while the 13.3-inch E4200 weighs 3.4 pounds. Dell has told us that the batteries on the usual laptops can last for up to 19 hours, which sounds to good to be true. The new models also are available with a backlit keyboard, and can be used with dual pointing devices. Consumers can also add a fingerprint reader, and WWAN options including WiMAX.

Here we have Dell’s Latitude roadmap displaying up until Q1 of 2009. You may recall when we broke the E-series news back in February. Sadly the details of each of the new E-series is still to come. Until that time arrives, sit back and relax knowing that Dell’s thinner, lighter Centrino 2-based E-series laptops with amazing “all day batteries” and an emphasis on design are coming very soon.

We thought all the Penryn updates had been completed by now, but now we have news that Dell has released a new laptop with a Penryn chip. Only a day after the news that there would be Pentyn processors in the Precision M2300 and M4300. As of now, you can purchase the machines with a 2.5GHz T9300 or 2.6GHz T9500, both of which include 6MB of L2 cache.
