Until you install the beta drivers, an unknown device will be shown in Device Manager. This does go away eventually, but reappears regularly after resume or boot.
The conversion is accomplished by rotating the display clockwise on its pivot hinge until it faces away from the user, then closing the lid, with the LCD display now facing up. Windows 7 runs very well on this laptop. Using touch input however, is great for scrolling through documents in Word or a web browser.
Double-tap with two fingers can generate a user-defined command to the computer.
This was marked as an unknown latitudf named in Device Manager. The XT2 XFR is what is generally described as a notebook convertible or convertible notebook; everyone has their own terminology that can be used both as a conventional notebook computer and also as a pen tablet see picture above.
Being able to control the computer with touch input is very convenient, especially when you are reading documents or RSS feeds.
Windows 7 on a Dell Latitiude XT2
My main aims for this duoense is to go with something in an ultra-portable form-factor for good battery life and prability and the tablet PC screen for reading. N-trig had an advantage as the technology does support multi-touch, and so you can do some multi-touch gestures on the XT2 XFR. Once installed, multi-touch is enabled:. That's because ever since the Apple iPhone burst onto the scene with its intuitive, elegant two-finger pinching, swiping and tapping, everyone else has been trying to do the same.
Rugged PC - Rugged Notebooks: Dell Latitude XT2 XFR
Whether touch is just a bit of a gimmick or a valid method of input a little more usage will reveal, but it certaintly is convenient. This is a design solution suosense has, in this form, been around since when Acer and then Toshiba began showing convertible notebook prototypes. Visually, it seems like Dell provided a good degree of extra protection via protective bumpers and cladding. It's certainly interesting to have this new st2 but on our XT2 not all applications supported it, and it all felt a bit forced.
So for now, things aren't entirely clear. Setting up and configuring the fingerprint sensor appears to be a little convoluted. How tough are Dell rugged notebooks humorous? Switching from pen to touch input is very quick and responsive. Whilst pen input appears to be fairly accurate out of the box, touch input improves with calibration.

The price premium for that extra toughness is steep. Surely Dell could do better in the packaging department. What does "rugged" mean? Keeping to the absolute minimum, I installed fuosense following:. Download the ControlPoint Security Manager driver for this device.
Below you can xxt2 the special pivoting display hinge and how it allows the XT2 XFR's LCD to be twisted into different positions for different purposes. That is more than most rugged machines can handle. Internet Explorer does a better job of being controlled by pen or touch than does Chrome or Firefox.
The pen is great for writing input obviouslybut also more pinpoint accuracy than you would get with a finger. Subscribe to Posts RSS.
The digitizer does have an issue that appears to be caused by the beta drivers — an intermittent phantom touch or pen input is received, usually on the right-hand side of the screen. After loading the driver for the screen, calibration is required to improve accuracy. It arrived the same day as the Windows 7 Dulsense Candidate, so the default Windows Vista install, disappeared pretty quickly.
