CONCLUSION

Based on our tests, the Dell Latitude ST would integrate much more easily into a typical

educational environment than the Apple iPad 2 and Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. By allowing students and

teachers to perform common tasks out of the box without the need for additional software and

hardware, the Dell Latitude ST reduces cost and complexity. By allowing administrators to establish one

or more sets of restrictions and then apply them automatically to a large group of tablets, the Dell

Latitude ST saves time, which translates to money, and reduces the risk of oversights. For school districts

hoping to provide students with tablets to better their education experience, the Dell Latitude ST brings

substantial advantages over its competitors.
