Dell is updating its Latitude 5000 series with a 2-in-1 tablet featuring a 12.3  inch, 1920 x 1280 pixel display, support for up to an 8th-gen Intel Core i7 quad-core processor, 

The tablet features a built-in “self deploying” kickstand, which means that you can just press the bottom of the tablet against a flat surface and the stand will pop out, making it easy to set up the tablet on a desk or table with just one hand.

Dell’s optional keyboard cover connects to the bottom of the tablet via magnets and allows you to use the Latitude 5290 in a sort of laptop mode (or Surface Pro mode, if you prefer). Or you can pick up the 2 pound tablet and hold it in one hand while using a finger or Dell Active Pen to interact with the touchscreen display.

Dell will offer the tablet with a choice of 7th-gen Intel Core i3 dual core or 8th-gen Core i5 or Core i7 quad-core processors, up to 16GB of memory, and up to 1TB of solid state storage.

The tablet measures 11.5″ x 8.2″ x 0.4″ and the tablet and keyboard together weigh about 2.6 pounds if you get the model with the smaller battery .The new Dell Latitude 5290 2-in-1 tablet should be available soon for $899 and up.
