While CES offers a lot of new gadgets to consider and anticipate every year, it also brings a lot of updates to existing product lines. Dell announced a major update to its commercial line of notebooks, revealing a refreshed Latitude 7000 series along with a few new displays and accessories that aim to make the lives of all types of workers easier.

According to Dell representatives, the company wanted to not only improve the internals of its elite enterprise line but also incorporate some of the design aspects most loved in its XPS series. The members of the Latitude 7000 series (there are 12-, 13-, and 14-inch models) are made with woven carbon fiber and magnesium alloy, making them thinner and lighter than previous models. They're painted with a soft-touch finish as well, so even if they don't have the sleek, silvery look of the XPS series, they're still elegant. The display bezels have been slimmed, however, the north and south sides of each screen remain slightly thicker so you can pick up any touchscreen models without disturbing anything on the screen.

As with all of Dell's commercial notebooks, the 12- and 14-inch Latitude 7000 models can be customized to suit any business needs. Both can support up to Intel Core i7 processors, up to 16GB of RAM, 512GB SSDs, and up to 55 watt batteries. Intel HD Graphics 520 come standard, but the 14-inch can be upgraded to an Intel HD Graphics 540 GPU. Both have anti-glare HD display options, and you can upgrade the 12-inch model to an FHD touch display and the 14-inch notebook to a QHD touchscreen. Ports on each model are the same, including an SD card reader, SIM card slot, three USB 3.0 ports, and one HDMI port.
