Still, the Dell Latitude 12 7000 is one of those products that get nearly everything right. Its refreshed design has a classy upscale appearance, especially the woven carbon-fiber lid and silicone soft-touch surfaces. The backlit keyboard is first-rate and we enjoyed the spacious and smooth touch pad, though users coming from Lenovo ThinkPads or HP EliteBooks will miss their pointing sticks.

The Latitude 12 7000 Series (E7250) is the ultimate business-class Ultrabook for power users. Even though the understated design may look boring compared to the sheen of consumer notebooks, the Latitude's subtle curves make it appear stylish while staying functional. A long three-year warranty, upgradability, removable battery, comfortable keyboard and assortment of wired and wireless connectivity options make the Latitude an excellent productivity companion for mobile road warriors who need a thin-and-light laptop without compromise.

The Dell Latitude E7250 may not be as glamorous as the ThinkPad X1 Carbon or Toshiba Portege Z30T-A, but it is a solid, dependable machine all the same, with some unique offerings for businesses that may be interested in them.

The Dell Latitude E7250 is an Ultrabook that's ready to work: It's easy to carry, comfortable to type on and will last you all day on a charge. However, I'm turned off by the finicky touchpad and mediocre audio quality. Overall, the Latitude E7250 has some flaws, but it holds its own in the ultraportable category as an office workhorse.

If you are a business user who needs extra portability, the Dell Latitude 12 7000 Series (E7250) is a good choice. It is rugged, has a really nice screen, and good performance, including nine hours of battery life. We believe it could find a place in your business plans, whether you're a Fortune 500 company, or one that barely has 500 employees. Its 14-inch counterpart, the Dell Latitude 14 7000 Series (E7450), remains our Editors' Choice business ultrabook, as it has more battery life, is a little less expensive, and has more crowd-pleasing features like a larger screen and dual pointing devices.

Comment

Model: The portable and lightweight Dell Latitude 12 E7250 is an ultrabook that bridges the gap between a smartphone and a computer. Profile and ergonomics are preferred by some to a tablet especially with Microsoft Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit installed. The Dell Latitude branding depicts a quality assurance device and this ultrabook definitely delivers with its premium build materials. The carbon fibre chassis is solid and feels good in hand. Hardware on the Ultrabook consists of and Intel Core i5-5300 processor clocked at 2.3 GHz, 8 GB DDR3L RAM, Intel HD Graphics 5500 GPU and 256 GB internal storage.

The 12.5 inch 16:9 capacitive touchscreen delivers gorgeous colors and is protected with Gorilla Glass. Judging from the hardware specification, there is little doubt that the Dell Latitude 12 E7250 can handle a multitude of everyday tasks. The 1.5 kg device comes with three USB 3.0 ports, an HDMI port, a DisplayPort, a card reader, a fingerprint scanner and NFC. Needless to say the Dell Latitude 12 E7250 is feature packed and even security is taken into consideration. The keyboard is comfortable to use and features a backlight. Battery life is amazing with a 4-cell Lithium-Polymer pack.

5300U: Broadwell-based ULV (ultra low voltage) dual-core processor for notebooks and ultrabooks. Offers an integrated HD Graphics 5500 GPU and is manufactured in 14 nm.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.


12.50":

This range of display format is largely the upper limit for tablets and the lower limit for subnotebooks.

The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small in size and therefore easily portable. The tiny display has the added advantage of requiring little power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is exhausting for the eyes. High resolutions, which one is used to from a standard laptop, are almost not usable.

The same applies to tablets in this size range.
