Compared to Dell's flagship Latitude 7400 2-in-1, the 5300 lacks a few finer design points. In place of brushed-aluminum surfaces and diamond-cut edges, you get a plastic chassis dressed in basic business black. Everything from the lid and display hinges to the keyboard deck, keys, touchpad, and mouse buttons fits the monochromatic color scheme. This is no flimsy flip-and-fold, howeverA¢a,¬aEUR the plastic enclosure is carbon-fiber-reinforced and feels sturdy, with none of the worrying flex, rough edges, or large seams you find on cheap consumer models. The Latitude 5300 2-in-1 looks and feels well-put-together.
