The Dell Latitude has been a business mainstay for years. It's built a reputation for understated reliability, to the point that the sleek black laptop is now ubiquitous. At this point, it's as much an office fixture as a coffee machine.
Slim and Light
The included software never pushed past the realm of necessary utilities, and that's appreciated. There were a few Dell-branded applications included, but they're not overbearing and beyond asking you to register once or twice, they never get in the way. You won't have to clean house when you get this notebook, scouring every corner for clinging bits of bloatware.
Compact Carry On
This laptop was designed for a life on the road and it shows. It's small and light, fits comfortably in a shoulder bag, and weighing in at just 3.88 pounds, it won't bog you down on a daily commute.
It should come as little surprise that the Latitude isn't exactly meant for gaming.
