Dell Latitude CSx
13.3" Pentium III Ultralight/Subnotebook, released in either late 1999 or early 2000 as a successor to the Pentium II-based Latitude CS. The image on the right is a CS, but the two look identical. The CPU is essentially the only difference between the two.

Common Faults & Maintenance
Brittle Plastic
The plastic parts of the CSx are extremely brittle and must be handled with extreme care. Luckily, the rear display housing is made of magnesium so hinge failures are rare.
CMOS Battery Leaks
The Varta CMOS battery in the Latitude CSx leaks nearly 100% of the time and will damage both the keyboard and the motherboard if left to rot. It must be removed.
