Latitude History

I read with interest the postings of forum members, some with very old Latitude models and I am curious:

When did Dell start the Latitude series of laptops?

Which was the first model? Specs?

    Good old Wikipedia. It looks like the original XPi family goes back to 1996. Click on the following page for more information.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dell_Latitude

    Dell Latitude XPi P133ST, NeoMagic NM2070 video chipset, 24MB of memory (8MB on motherboard), 1.2 GB hard disk, PCMCIA modem card, 10.2" SVGA (800x600) TFT display, Windows 95 with possibility to partition and install Linux,

    I am not a Dell employee...I am forum volunteer

    Serious work on an E5430 and constantly building and working on an i5-6500 Desktop

    Wikipedia is incomplete on this - I can't find any official record of the first model, but a 486 model exists called the Dell Latitude 433C: https://youtu.be/j33U_hGGW1I and it's the oldest Latitude I personally have seen.
