Is this the Dell Latitude E-series?

While Dell has made great strides in the past year with its consumer laptop lines (you know, those nifty Inspiron and XPS systems), the company's business line, known as Latitude, has remained pretty uninspiring.

All that's about to change, according to the latest from the rumor mill. Engadget kicks it off with reports of upcoming 12-, 13-, 14-, and 15-inch models, all with LED backlit displays. It appears to be clad in a brushed metal chassis. Other purported parts include eSATA and DisplayPort connections.

No price or availability details just yet, but we'll keep you posted.
