Dell launches new laptop-tablet hybrid

Dell Inc launched a new line of laptop-tablet hybrid products on Tuesday, a move to tap into Chinese consumers' growing desire for devices that can facilitate both entertainment and productivity.

The effort came after Dell overtook HP Inc as the top PC vendor in the United States in the first quarter of the year and marks the company's latest push to expand its presence in China, the home market of its largest rival Lenovo Group Ltd.

The latest electronic gadgets, including the world's first 17-inch-screen two-in-one convertible, have a wide range of processor options and features, which Dell said can meet the diversified demands from students and entrepreneurs.
