    Nice to have some choices

    Option1: "the most secure in the world."

    Option 2: "ship with Windows 8"

    Remote wipe... what could possibly go wrong with that?

    Who has the keys to that then?

    Will never buy a Dell again after the dog of an XPS I had.

    But where is the 15" 7000 Ultrabook with 1080p ?

    I think the above models were also re-announced 3 weeks ago after some pre-annoucements back in May.

    What you don't mention is the fact the screens are a miserable 1366x768 with no option for better - less than many smartphones.

    I read 15" is the most popular notebook size now, so why only 2 sizes (12.5 & 14") in the professional 7000 Series ?

    What we need is a fast Haswell ULV with 15" 1080p non-glare (matte - which seems to rule out touch), preferably IPS & decent cooling.

    When will Dell deliver ?

    No penguins for you

    I don't see any option on http://configure.us.dell.com/dellstore/config.aspx?oc=sl7443p05&model_id=latitude-e7440-ultrabook&c=us&l=en&s=bsd&cs=04

    Could you recheck that press release you wrote up ?

    WTF?

    Meh

    $1000 for;

    4GB (1x4GB) 1600MHz DDR3L Memory

    320GB 5400rpm Hard Drive

    14.0 HD (1366x768) Wide View Anti-Glare WLED-backlit

    Who the hell is going to "upgrade" to that my 4 year old laptop has the same core specs and when has the CPU ever been the performance limiting factor.

    And they wonder why PC sales are tanking.

    16Gb + SSD + 1080p as a minimum for the same price and ppl might consider otherwise why bother. Stick some RAM and an SSD in your old laptop.
