The built-in Core i5 processor provides more than enough computing power for office and Internet applications. Heat and noise development are at an acceptable level.
The CPU can access 8 GB of RAM (1x 8 GB, single-channel mode, max. 32 GB). The installation of a second memory module is recommended to activate dual-channel mode here. An NVMe SSD (512 GB) ensures a fast and smooth system. Replacing the SSD with a faster and/or larger-capacity model can be done. Moreover, upgrade and maintenance procedures require removing the bottom cover.
The display (Full HD, IPS) scores points with a matte surface, stable viewing angles, acceptable color reproduction, and decent color-space coverage. Brightness and contrast are fundamentally okay. Nevertheless, the laptop's price level demands better. Dell offers an optional LTE modem for the Latitude. Our test device doesn't feature a modem. However, one could be retrofitted. The LTE antennas and SIM card slot are available.
