They say that the Dell Latitude XT is the world’s thinnest convertible Tablet PC. The idea with a device like this is that you can get the traditional notebook experience when you flip the Latitude XT open, typing away on the QWERTY keyboard just like you would on a regular laptop. At the same time, you can rotate and fold down the display to get the utility of a Tablet PC, complete with a reasonably-sized 12.1-inch touchscreen display.

Starting at just 3.6 pounds, the Latitude XT is Dell’s first official attempt at the convertible tablet market and it seems that they have done quite well for themselves. You can opt for either a regular or outdoor-viewable display, there’s one-touch screen orientation, pen and touch inputs, premium wireless, and optional media base. The XT has been optimized for Windows Vista.

Other notable specs include ATI Radeon X1250 UMA graphics, up to 3GB of RAM, up to 120GB hard drive, Bluetooth 2.0, HSDPA or EVDO Rev. A, and your choice of either a 1.06GHz Intel Core 2 Solo or 1.2GHz Core 2 Duo ULV.

Prices start at around $2,500.
