Reviews for the Dell Latitude 12 7210 2-in-1, i5-10210U

Dell Latitude 12 7210 (2-in-1) review – trying to boost the popularity of business tablets
Source: Laptop Media
There is a lot to be said about this device. Before we start, we have to mention the use of last-gen processors. This will definitely cripple the performance of the machine, especially compared to the graphics power of the Tiger Lake CPU’s integrated solutions. In terms of portability, this machine is a champ. It is extremely light – at about 850 grams. Also, it offers optional LTE and Wi-Fi 6 connectivity. However, the weird thing about it is its design. The bezels around the display remind us of the tablets back in 2015. Yes, it is a last-gen product, but even in 2020, this type of look already looked dated.

Intel UHD Graphics 620: Integrated GPU (GT2, 24 EUs) found on some Kaby-Lake-Refresh CPU models (15 W ULV series). Technically identical to the previous Kaby-Lake GPU called HD Graphics 620.

Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

i5-10210U: Comet Lake based low power quad-core processor (technically identical to Whiskey Lake and still produced in 14nm++). The CPU cores can clock between 1.6 and 4.2 GHz (all 4 cores 3.9 GHz max.) with HyperThreading (8 threads). The integrated memory controller supports LPDDR4-2933 and using cTDP up/down the performance can be adjusted by the OEM (10 - 25 Watt possible, 15W default). Compared to the faster i5-10510U, the level 3 cache was reduced from 8 to 6 MB.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.

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.
