Reviews for the Dell Latitude E6220

84% Dell Latitude E6220 Laptop Review | Notebookcheck
Portable Workhorse. Dell demonstrated a prerelease model of the Latitude E6220 back in February of 2011 at the “Dell Means Business” event, and the buzzword peppered throughout the press release was “field workers”. The Gen-Y professionals to whom this subnotebook is intended will enjoy the Latitude E6220’s ruggedness, style, and ease of servicing/upgrading.

The Dell Latitude E6220 Advanced is a solid laptop, and if its specification matched its price tag, it would easily earn a recommendation. Unfortunately its shortcomings can't be ignored, so our impression is that while it could have been a winner, it must settle for the bronze.

Compared to Ultrabook's like the 11.6in Asus UX21E Zenbook costing £850, the speedier Dell Latitude E6220 is pricey, but it is a very different beast. The base version of this laptop starts at £1066 but it has an Core i3 CPU and no SSD. While no great shakes in the looks department, as a notebook, it was a pleasure to use. Its built to last, has a great keyboard, an excellent display, is nifty and super quiet. If pushed, you can always shave a bit off the price by downgrading some of the spec but I'd keep the SSD though.

With its strong performance, world-class keyboard and crystal-clear audio, the Dell Latitude E6220 has a lot to like. Yet, for the somewhat-vague promise of added ruggedness, the notebook costs a lot more than competitors with longer battery life. Those looking for a better value should consider the Lenovo ThinkPad X220 which starts at $899, costs just $1,399 when configured similarly to our $2,447 Latitude, and lasts more than 12 hours on a charge with its 9-cell battery. However, if you're looking for a business ultraportable with fantastic ergonomics and an added dose of durability, the Latitude E6220 is a strong choice.

The Dell Latitude E6220 probably isn't for you, unless you're a business traveler who needs something more rugged than a MacBook Air, has a nearly infinite budget, and requires TPM or vPro. Despite its semirugged construction, the Dell Latitude E6220 feels dated, especially for a small 12-inch laptop, and it's painfully expensive, even for its very limited target audience.

The Dell Latitude E6220 is a business-friendly 12.5-inch ultraportable laptop that has excellent performance and above average battery life. It has a 128GB solid-state hard drive, an Intel Core i5 CPU and 4GB of RAM, which provides an excellent experience overall. While it is a little heavier than other ultraportables, it's quite a nice computer for business and home users alike.

Though not particularly svelte or eye-catching, the Dell Latitude E6220 fits the bill perfectly for a corporate ultraportable laptop. It's fast, it has state-of-the-art components, and it has the warranty and service options that large businesses expect. It also provides battery options that let you travel light or compute for nearly a day, depending on your need.

Intel HD Graphics 3000: Integrated graphics card in the Intel Sandy Bridge processors (Core ix-2xxx). The HD 3000 is the faster (internally GT2 called) version with 12 Execution Units (EUs).

Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.

2540M: Fast Dual-core processor clocked from 2.6 to 3.3 GHz (Turbo Boost 2.0) based on the Sandy Bridge architecture with an integrated graphics card and dual-channel DDR3 memory controller. » 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.

75.33%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
