The Dell Latitude 12 7000 won't win any beauty contests but then again, for what it is designed to do it is very good. It is the smallest form factor a business laptop can take without any compromise on functionality and if you can afford it, it's a very good choice.

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.
