The Dell Latitude XT is a tablet PC that was released at the end of 2007. When closed or first opened, it looks like a fairly typical laptop albeit a relatively small one. However, the screen can rotate and fold back so that it functions as more of a tablet when you want it to.

Its specs include:

  • CPU: Core 2 Duo U7600 @ 1.2 GHz
  • RAM: 2 GB DDR 533 MHz
  • Hard Drive: Samsung HS122JC (120 GB)
  • Video: Radeon Xpress 1250
  • Screen: 12.1" WXGA (1280 x 800) capacitive touch screen

For more complete specs, check out the output from HardInfo.

I use this machine like a laptop when I am using it as opposed to a tablet. Like any other machine I use it also runs BOINC. So far it has processed (or is processing) tasks for Einstein@home, Milkyway@home, Universe@home, Asteroids@home, and World Community Grid. Since The Core 2 Duo is a 64-bit CPU and I am running a modern version of Linux, it can work with most of my usual projects. You can also check out how it is doing overall at FreeDC.
