Dell has thrown in the Latitude business line into the mix, which is no longer the only big laptop manufacturer doing funky touchpad things. I am having trouble seeing anything other than the Stream Deck version of the new Latitude 9330'scollaboration touchpad. There is a row of buttons on the top of the touchpad that allow access to the microphone, camera, chat, and screen-sharing function.

This is the first 13-inch device in the Latitude 9000 series. The 9000 line is known for being thin and feature-packed, which is why it is the high-end segment of the Latitude line. Business customers will now have an option for flagship functions in as small of a Chassis as they can find.

This device has a 16:10 screen with a 1920 x 1600 resolution and a 90 percent screen-to-body ratio. There is a hardware kill switch on the keyboard. The device can be configured with up to a 12th Gen Intel Core i7 and 32GB of RAM. It will be available in June of 2022. It's not going to be cheap.
