Dell Latitude E5550 review – Dell’s secret weapon to take down the ThinkPad series
Source: Laptop Media English Archive.org version
Dell Latitude E5550 has mostly pros on its side, while the cons are really neglectable. The design is just great, but it’s like we’ve expected a bit more. Maybe at this price range aluminum would have been the way to go. However, the soft touch plastic suits the needs of most users and it still feels premium. The keyboard is absolutely stunning along with the trackpad, which we find even more comfortable than the famous trackpoint used in the ThinkPad notebook series. This might come more of a personal opinion, but Dell has surpassed the ThinkPad series in terms of interior design, keyboard design and trackpoint usability.

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.

The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.
