Reviews for the Dell Latitude 7280
Smaller and sleeker. Dell’s latest 7000 series ultraportable migrates even further toward high-end consumer-grade luxury, even while maintaining most of what sets a business-grade machine apart from its mass market brethren. Does it remain a top contender?

With the fashionable trend toward thinner screen bezels, you can quibble about the prospects for 12.5- versus 13.3-inch ultraportables; anything that causes less squinting is a bonus in our book. For now, however, the 12.5-inch size remains a good bet for crowded briefcases, and the Latitude a leading contender in the class. Both the Latitude 7280 and the ThinkPad X270 have a lot to recommend them. If you're not swayed by the Lenovo's user-changeable battery or the Dell's Thunderbolt 3 port, we'll settle it based on thinness and weight: Advantage Latitude.

The other ultrabook that likely will catch your eye if you are considering the Latitude 7280 is the ThinkPad X270 (or for that matter, the previous-gen X260, which was a machine for the ages). With a similar configuration as our Latitude 7280 test system, you’ll find, not surprisingly, that the ThinkPad X270 has a similarly high price. Its key strengths versus this Latitude: the killer ThinkPad keyboard, and a dual removable-battery configuration that looks promising, along the lines of what's in the also-five-star ThinkPad T460. That said, the X270 configurations do not offer the IR camera, and only a one-year warranty comes standard. Both models, however, are winners if you or your office has the budget for durable, powerful, and long-running ultrabooks. Today, as refined as both of these business laptop lines are, it's all just degrees of good.

At the end of the day the Dell Latitude 7280 has a laser focus. It’s a business-oriented laptop and it meets or exceeds what you’d expect from such a laptop with excellent connectivity, a durable yet portable design, and strong performance. This laptop features well-placed and reliable inputs, and there are loads of premium security features for those who want them.

The Dell Latitude 7280 packs speedy performance, a bright display and fantastic battery life into a thin, light design that's easy to carry. However, the screen isn't as colorful as we'd like, and the price can get pretty high, depending on which configuration you choose.

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.
