  • Page 9: Overview

    The Dell Latitude ST is built to be thin and light to match the mobility needs of executives, sales managers, doctors, and students alike. This allows the product to function as a primary system during short business trips, sales calls, etc. It was designed from the ground up to be managed similarly to how notebooks, desktops and workstations are managed today.
  • Page 10: Pen Overview

    The Latitude ST uses a specifically designed electrostatic pen or stylus for use in tablet PC mode. Instead of relying on battery power, the energy source for the stylus is magnetic energy produced by the excitation coil built into the digitizer itself.
