    Hello,

    I am looking for a new professional laptop. It must be a Dell laptop.
    Unfortunately, I could not found a nice ultrabook in the Dell products, meaning light (< 1.6 Kg) with a correct resolution (> 1600x900).

    In the professional category, Latitude, I found new 6230 or 6330, but both seams very similar, with only a small screen resolution of 1366x768.
    I could not found feedback about these models on the forum and what are exactly their differences, outside of 0.5" in the screen size ...

    On the other hand, there are the nice XPS 14, with a correct resolution of 1600x900. But it is extremely heavy for an ultrabook, and has an indecent price in the SSD configuration.

    Do you know if professional Latitude models will be upgraded with better screen resolution in the future ?

    Thanks for your advise,
    Gerard

    I seen a new Latitude 6430u was expected in June but is not yet released. It is supposed to be a 14" professional ultrabook.
    It is not clear if it will get a high resolution screen, or this bad 1366x768 screen we found on 6230, 6330, and XPS 13.
    I could not found better news in google. Anyone has fresher news on specifications and the release date of this new dell ultrabook ?
    Thanks

    Still slated to come out "one of these days," per my Dell rep (he was more specific but I don't remember what he said, just that it was later than we wanted for the planning we were doing.)

    The Lenovo T430u isn't out yet, and is showing Sept -- ThinkPad T430u - powerful business-class Ultrabook from Lenovo (US) -- my guess is that this is an Intel-side delay on some of the low-voltage Ivy Bridge chips, and the Dell will be out pretty much the same time Lenovo is.
