About this deal

We’ve seen brighter and more colorful displays on other brands, most noticeably from Fujitsu, but the screen on this PC will be acceptable for most users. In some respects, unfortunately, the display has actually worsened compared to its predecessor: Color deviations are significantly worse. Equally, the panel’s reaction time is abysmal. Adding to that, the color range has decreased as well. 54.4% sRGB and 34.5% AdobeRGB are not good results, designating the Latitude to the last place. Our only dislike with the keyboard is how small Dell decided to make the cursor keys, which are tiny considering how often a typical user will need them. At the center of the keyboard is a ‘nipple’ for those who loved their ThinkPad once (or maybe still do), though the touchpad is a much better option for controlling the cursor for most users.

The specification of this machine swings rather wildly from making perfect sense to almost none at all.Intel Core i7-8650U 8th Gen (decent for heavier tasks, besides enabling effortless daily computing) Windows 10 Home is aimed at the regular home and office computer users. Only select business users need the Professional edition. Windows 10 Home users are eligible for a free upgrade to the latest Windows 11 Home.

But where the specifications go entirely awry is in the storage department, where Dell confusingly used an M.2 drive that offers no practical advantage over a SATA-connected SSD. The Latitude also performed well on the Dirt 3 racing game, hitting 69 frames per second (at Medium graphics at 1080p) and speeding past the 48 fps from the ThinkPad T470 and the 55-fps category average.
