Reviews for the Dell Latitude 7230 Rugged Extreme

83.9% Dell Latitude 7230 Rugged Extreme tablet review: One of the best displays in its category | Notebookcheck
The rugged Dell tablet also happens to be one of the few PCs to ship with the 12th gen Core i5-1240U processor. While we have some minor quibbles with certain features, the overall core experience remains very user friendly.

Whether it's rain, snow, sleet, or gloom of night, the Dell Latitude 7230 Rugged Extreme Tablet is ready to work, even if you drag it through the worst environments along the way. Its design is top-notch, delivering a mix of usability and rugged armor that's better than most, from its ultra-bright display to its sturdy handle and chunky bumpers. Its performance is a bit of a letdown; it's a capable PC but not the fastest nor the most powerful among its peers. But if raw performance isn't your priority, the Dell can be configured with so many different ports and options that it's a cinch to meet your on-site demands, with a hot-swappable dual-battery design that keeps it going all day long. It narrowly misses an Editors' Choice win, but the 7230 is a fine choice for work where laptops fear to tread.
