Dell is packing new technologies like Intel’s Core M chip in its Latitude 13 7000 tablet/laptop hybrid, which the company believes is a better laptop replacement than other products like Microsoft’s Surface Pro 3.

The Latitude 13 7000 is a 13.3-inch tablet, but when attached to a keyboard dock it transforms into a laptop that is more battery friendly than regular laptops, according to Dell.

The dual laptop-tablet functionality is made possible by Intel’s Core M chip, which is a new low-power PC chip adapted for tablets. The chip is Intel’s first based on the Broadwell architecture, and is made using the 14-nanometer process, which brings speed, performance and power improvements over prior tablet chips.
